week commencing 13th July


Dear Parents and Carers

 

Sunflowers Graduation

The Sunflowers School Leavers Graduation is next Thursday 16th July from 3.30-5pm.

We will be having a bouncy castle, party tea and the Graduation Ceremony will be 4.30-5pm.

Bring your tissues and cameras, it’s going to be emotional!

 

Garden Shelter

The shelter for the back garden is being constructed on 4th August. The builders have told us it will take two days and we will be without a baby garden until they finish.

Whilst the back garden is out of action we will be scheduling times for all of the children to use the front garden.

The garden shelter will mean that the stairs and part of the back garden are covered.

 

Leavers

Please remember we need a months’ notice for children leaving. Don’t forget to cancel your childcare vouchers!

 

Interactive Learning Diary

Don’t forget to check out all the exciting things your child has done this week, on their ILD profile.

We aim to put at least one observation up per week.

We will be displaying a different policy every week on the newsletter.

Menus

There are a few changes to this week’s menu. Monday and Tuesday lunches are swapping.

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:
