the official Nick Jr. UK and Ireland website, NickJr.co.uk:
Help your preschoolers learn and explore just like Dora!
Dora the Explorer is a great role model for learning through exploration and investigation. Her powers of observation and sense of adventure enable her and her friends to solve many problems on their journeys.
Supported by the Princes Foundation for Children and the Arts, the Help Dora Help initiative has been created to bring exploration to life in pre-schools and nurseries in a real way.
Using Dora’s adventures as a theme for learning, Nick Jr. has created the Help Dora Help Activity Pack to support early year’s development and provide fun, motivational, and stimulating learning opportunities for all pre-schoolers.
If you missed your chance to register, you can still download the Activity Pack, which contains six curriculum linked session plans, [here (Nick Jr.'s "Dora The Explorer" Activity Pack is in PDF format (Portable Document Format), and will require a PDF reader such as Adobe Reader X to be opened, viewed, and printed.)].
Nick Jr. invited pre-school settings across the UK to apply to the Help Dora Help Award Fund, for a chance to receive one main award of up to £20,000 and runners up prizes of learning equipment to help the children learn and explore just like Dora the Explorer!
Pre-schools bid to use the fund to:
* Kit out their setting with new games and toys.
* Provide and install outdoor equipment.
*Give the children an unforgettable adventure day.
*Build a play area.
*Or something that would make a real difference to how their preschoolers learn and develop!
Thank you for registering and entering your pre-school setting for Help Dora Help. We have received some outstanding entries from your pre-schools across the UK and thousands of you voted for the pre-school, nursery or playgroup you wanted to be awarded the Help Dora Help Fund.
Congratulations to Hope Nursery School, Northern Ireland who you chose to be awarded the Help Dora Help Award Fund. See their bid.
You can see the finalists entries in our gallery.
Look out for the winning nursery Hope Nursery School on the Nick Jr. channel.
Let’s go! - ¡Vamonos!
