Help urgently required: visits to the Natural History Museum

We are planning to take all the three and four year olds to the Natural History Museum over the next month. But in order to do this, we need help.

Please talk to Michele if you are able to come along and help – there will be a list of dates going up soon.

We will be walking up to Caledonian Road Station and then getting the Piccadilly Line to South Kensington before spending time in the museum, especially in the dinosaur area.

Children travel free on the tube, but you will need to bring your Oyster card. You and your child will also need to bring a packed lunch with you. We do not recommend bringing a buggy.

The trip will be a great experience for the children, and they will be learning from the minute they set off up the road, use the lift at the station and follow the tube map.

The children need a high level of supervision – please volunteer some of your time if you can.

Under Fives Dental Health promotion

Did you know that Islington has one of the highest levels of tooth decay and tooth extraction amongst children in the whole country?

Dental problems in childhood can be painful and can affect children’s early speech.

On Thursday February 25th we are holding a dental health promotion event in the morning from 10am to 11.30am.

Come along and:

  • Get free advice
  • Register with a dentist (all treatment for children is free on the NHS)
  • Pick up a free toothbrush and toothpaste for your child
