week commencing 2nd September


Dear Parents

 

Nursery news

 

Parents Evening is on Thursday 5th September from 6.45 – 8.30. We will be trialling a first come first served system to try and ensure that you get to spend time with your child’s key person.  This may mean you only get to spend ten minutes with your child’s key person, but should ensure a fairer way of doing things. Pop in any time between 6.45 and 8.30 to have a chat, look through your child’s profile and meet other parents.

 

For all parents of children going to school in 2014 there will be a “Getting Ready for school” Presentation which will run from 6.30- 6.45

 

If you have any questions about Parents Evening just ask! Otherwise we look forward to seeing you then.

 

Zoo Lab will be visiting the Bluebells and Sunflowers on Tuesday 3rd September in the morning. The Zoo Lab presenter will be bringing along small animals and insects such as mice, snakes, spiders and snails, for the children to see and in some cases touch! This is a great way for the children to learn about animals and insects as well as a way of teaching them not to be afraid.

 
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.
