Recent Newsletter…
Dear parents and carers,
Newsletters are being sent out to all families via email. This will be to the email address that has been provided by you as the main contact email on registration forms. Please let Judith know if you would prefer a paper copy or if you wish emails to be sent to more than one email address.Staffing: Mollie Archer has re-joined us as an extra staff member on Monday mornings.
In w/b Monday 10th November we will be fund-raising for Children in Need, who we try to support every year as it’s a charity specifically for children. On Thursday 13th November we are inviting the children to come dressed in spotty clothes and pay a donation (suggested £1.) If your child doesn’t attend Thursdays, they are welcome to come dressed up another day in the week.There will be lots of spotty-themed activities at Pre-school throughout the week in celebration of Pudsey Bear!
Staff will be completing written assessments of their key children later this month to celebrate their progress. These will be available for parents to view in early December. New families to Pre-school will be informed who their key person is over the following week.
Pre-school Christmas party will take place on the morning of Thursday 18th December. All children are invited to attend, even if they don’t usually come on Thursdays (there will be no extra charge.) Hopefully, we will have a very special visitor and lots of fun! The party will take place in the large hall and will include lots of playing, dancing and some party games. Parents are welcome to come and join us for some festive songs and to meet our special visitor! (At approximately 11.45, more details to follow…)
If you wish to increase your child’s hours at Pre-school after Christmas, please talk to Judith ASAP. We have a few full day places and morning sessions available.
Parents accessing extended funding entitlements are reminded to re-confirm their child’s eligibility when prompted.
Forest Fun Fridays: It’s getting colder now so please send your child with two pairs of mittens/gloves if possible, in case one gets wet. They will probably need two pairs of socks on, extra layers of clothing and always a hat. We will be having hot chocolate each week and keeping moving to keep warm!
A reminder to all parents: please make sure your child comes dressed for the weather/activities each day. They need to bring a warm waterproof coat every day, hat, mittens/gloves and suitable footwear. Boots or strong waterproof shoes are always needed as we go outside in all weathers.
Best wishes,
Judith, Heather, Shannon and Mollie
