week commencing 20th July


Dear Parents and Carers

 

ILD’S

If your child is leaving don’t forget you can print their ILD’S, including the photos.

Unfortunately you can’t save the videos.

The ILD’S will be accessible for a month after your child leaves. After this time we will archive them.

 

Don’t forget to look at the ILD’S regularly as they are a great way of seeing your child’s progression and development as well as the fun they have at nursery.

You can also add your own notes, observations and photos.

 

I apologise that there are not as many observations this week as normal, there has been some app updates and these have meant that the ipads have been out of action for a little while.

 

Term Dates

The last day of term is Tuesday 21st July

Term starts again on Wednesday 2nd September

 

Please be aware that the funding does not start until 7th September.

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.
