Spring 2 Upcoming events

Uncategorized

Dear Parents and Carers

We hope you have had a lovely half term break and we look forward to welcoming the children back.

Our topic this week will be ‘Supertato’ and healthy eating! With this in mind please can we remind you that if your child is staying for lunch, that their lunch box is nut free and healthy (no sweetie lollies) with an ice block. Please see Healthy eating policy attached.

Please check out the blog on the website and the Facebook page to see what fun activities we have planned. Due to popular demand this will also be updated at the end of the week showing 2 or 3 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 1st March 2019
Spring 2 invoices are due.

Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th 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 will be up on the Parents board advertising this.

Thursday 21st March 2019, Parents afternoon
There will be a Parents afternoon held at the Nursery on Thursday 21st March. A sign up sheet will be on the ‘Parents Board’ in the lobby from the 4th 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 5th 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 event is held in the morning and Buckles and Bows closed for the afternoon.

The Pre-school will then be closed for Easter until we return on Monday 23rd April 2019

The fun we had:

This week the children have been superheroes! They were very enthusiastic to complete the challenging obstacle course, tackling the obstacles by going over, under, through and jumping or climbing. They completed the course several times, showing patience and allowing their peers space in front of them and adapted the way in which they did it, for example, going under or over the wooden bridge or going though the tunnel or using the stepping stones beside it instead.The Children also had fun making capes and masks.
