Sadly
Coach Sarah will no longer be doing our sports sessions on a Monday afternoon
as Sports stars are no more L
The
last session will be Monday 30th March. Sorry for the late notice
but I only found out this week.
The
Forest School sessions will now be on a Monday morning for this term whilst we
decide what to do about additional activities.
Lost

Please
can you all have a look at home for a girls Autograph, Marks and Spencer

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.
For more information on the Early Years Foundation
stage, the guidance we use to support our planning and practice, please visit:
