Dear
Parents
New
menus
The
new menus are starting next week, but we need your help.
Some
of you commented in our annual questionnaire that you would like to see more
variety with our breakfast, snack and tea menu (basically all the foods that I
organise!!!)
I
will happily admit that I am no Delia so I need your help with suggestions of
foods we can serve.
Please
bear in mind that we cater for up to 43 children per meal so time and space are
our real issues, particularly time.
We
have kept our standard teas and snacks going for now but with your help we hope
to mix up the new menus in the next few months.
In2sports
We
had a trial session with a sports coaching company in2sports. We really enjoyed
our session so have arranged for them to come every week, on Monday afternoons,
and teach the Bluebells and Sunflowers.
As
before these sessions will be complementary for every child who is in on
Mondays.
In2sports
plan each lesson and link the activities to the Early Years Foundation Stage as
well as to current events, for example teaching Tennis skills when Wimbledon is
on. We will attach each weeks lesson plan to the ILD’S. Each child also has a
learning chart which follows their progress. These will also be included on
your child’s ILD.
We
are really excited to start these sessions on Monday 1st June

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:
