Due to the interest the children have shown, we are starting the term by looking at different occupations, looking after ourselves and the environment. This will then lead on to people who help us. We are fortunate to have secured a Paramedic coming in to visit us on the 24th March to talk about her role and show the children the equipment she works with.
Please check out the blog on the website and the Facebook page to see what fun activities we have planned. The blog is updated at the end of each week showing a few photos of the children exploring the activities and their ongoing achievements.
Just a few reminders of the upcoming events for the last half of the Spring term:
Friday 28th February Spring 2 invoice payments are due.
Tuesday 3rd and Thursday 5th March, World Book Day Mufti The children are welcome to attend Pre-school dressed as their favourite book character. This a fundraising event and the cost is £2 per child, this will cover both days. A poster (attached) will be up on the Parents board advertising this.
Thursday 19th March, Parents afternoon There will be a Parents afternoon held at the Nursery on Thursday 19th March. A sign up sheet will be on the ‘Parents Board’ in the lobby from the 9th March so that you can arrange to see your child’s key worker at a convenient time. If anyone is unable to make the date we can make alternative arrangements.
Friday 3rd April, Easter Party No normal sessions will run on this day. A letter with more details is attached. As normal I will print a few copies off for those who don’t have access to a printer.
The Pre-school will then be closed for Easter until we return on Monday 20th April 2020.
