week commencing 8th October

Dear Parents and Families

 

Jeans For Genes Day

Don’t forget to wear your jeans if you’re in on Friday as we are raising money for Jeans for Genes day. We will also be selling playdough and cakes to raise money. Please can everyone who is in on Friday wear jeans and donate £1 to this very good cause.

 

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.
