Week commencing 15th October

 

Events

We raised over £50.00 for Jeans for Genes day so Thank You very much to everyone who donated.

It is the Nursery’s 17th Birthday on Friday 26^th October!  To celebrate we will be having a pyjama party that day. If your child is in on that day can they help us celebrate by wearing their pyjamas.

The Sunflowers are organising a trip to see the Pantomime on Friday 14^th December. If your child is in on that afternoon you don’t have to come but are more than welcome. If your child is not in on that day they will need to be accompanied by an adult. All tickets cost £9.00. The performance is a quiet performance designed for younger children!

We will also be organising a trip to see the Gruffalo’s Child  at GLIVE soon.

 

Dates for your diary

The Nursery Nativity is on Thursday 6^th December at 4.30. All children will be involved and details of this will follow.

Christmas parties will be on Thursday 20^th December 3.30- 5pm. We are looking for a volunteer to be our Father Christmas!

 

Josie is creating a post office in the Sunflower room and if you have anything that she could use, we would be very grateful. Old envelopes, stationary, empty boxes we can use as parcels, anything you can think of would be great.

 

This week’s activities

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.
