‘If you want to enter into their world, you should understand and know their language’-
This is an old saying about children and this is the way of interaction between the children and the teachers in White Fields Nursery.
‘Tell me the number you were able to toss with the ball’, this was the game today. Children enjoyed playing a target toss game of numbers, which focussed on their gross motor skills and numeracy as well.
In addition to that, children had a flower Math game puzzle, and they completed the flower according to the numbers.
They had so much to do with numeracy today and stuck the numbers on caterpillars, during the numeracy class to learn numbers.
They were involved in the color game, focusing on their identifying skills. Foot print hopping was great for coordination and balancing. They were so creative in collaging feathers on the UAE national bird.
To enhance their literacy skills, they learnt about Phonic ’N’ and its vocabulary.
Today’s Science Activity focused on STEM-Learning.
An excellent learning experience again…

NICVA's Skills Development Unit held its first Presentation of Certificates Ceremony for people who have completed the first line management programme as part of the Reaching Communities Development and Support Programme funded by The Big Lottery Fund. The ceremony was held on Thursday 24 September with over 30 graduates receiving their certificate and guest speaker was Jason Donaghy from Jason Donaghy Associates Consulting.

Una McKernan from NICVA and Julie Harrison from the Big Lottery Fund board also spoke.

•Background:
Community justice is where people who have broken the law are held to account and supported to reconnect and contribute to their communities.
Where it is safe to do so, people who commit certain crimes receive community-based sentences. This can include treatment for underlying issues such as drug or alcohol addiction, unpaid work, fines and compensation or restrictions of liberty such as electronic tagging and curfews.
The evidence shows community justice can help people stop breaking the law again leading to fewer victims and safer communities.
People carrying out ‘unpaid work’ as part of community payback orders can learn new skills to help their chances of finding a job.
They get to work on bikes and interact with customers, helping them to learn cycle maintenance and social skills, reducing barriers to employment.

The evidence shows community justice can help people stop breaking the law again leading to fewer victims and safer communities.
People who have broken the law may be given a sentence in the community which can involve carrying out a number of hours of unpaid work to help them give back to the community for their actions.
Background:
Unpaid work can be imposed by the court as part of a requirement of a Community Payback Order, formerly known as community service and is supervised by the Justice Social Work Service.
Many faith groups, community organisations and voluntary groups make referrals to Justice services regarding projects they would like to see undertaken as unpaid work, however, all the projects must meet strict criteria:
•it must not take away paid work from others
•no one must make a profit from the work
•it must be worthwhile, constructive and give those who have come into conflict with the law new skills
•individuals who have come into conflict with the law must be seen to be ‘paying back’ to the community for their actions
There are two types of work projects available:
•team placements
•individual placements
The type of work which can be done by teams includes:
•gardening
•painting
•joinery
•furniture collection and deliveries
•charity collections
•graffiti removal
Individual placements can include work with:
•voluntary agencies
•charity shops
•churches
•community groups
