Dear
Parents
Nursery
Photographer
The
photographer will be coming to the nursery on Monday 10th September.
Every child who is in on Monday can have their picture taken and if your child
is not in on Mondays you can come in between 11.30- 2.30 to have your photo
taken. We can take pictures of siblings and family groups too so bring the
whole gang! I can say how good the photographer is as she took a family
portrait of my family last year and it was great, even my Dad smiled!
Parents
Evening
Parents
Evening is Tuesday 11th September. We will be open from 6.45 – 8.30
for Parents to drop in and have a chat with staff. We will be showing you your
child’s learning journey book and talking about how they have been progressing.
We
are also holding a “getting ready for school” presentation for the parents of
the Sunflowers children. This will be between 6.30 -6.45.
Hope
to see you all there!
Donna’s
Ten Years at Castle
It
is Donna’s Ten Years of Service Anniversary today.
We are having a little tea party this afternoon and I am sure you will all join
us in saying Congratulations to Donna!
Lost
Buggies
We
have two abandoned buggies in the buggy sheds. One is a black quinny the other
is a red chicco.
If
these are yours please can you collect them or they will be re-homed when the
new buggy sheds arrive in September.
New
Early Years Foundation Stage Planning
This
week’s email is laid out slightly differently as we have altered the way we
plan.
Each
key person will be responsible for designing an activity
based on their key children’s needs; however, all children who are in on that day will have the opportunity to access the activity too.
If
the key person is on holiday or off, another
staff member will be able to lead the activity in their place so that the
children do not miss out.
From
next week staff days off may change, please see below.
If
you have any questions please let me know!
