Week Commencing 6th June 2016


Dear Parents and Carers,

 

Father’s Day week

We will be celebrating Father’s Day the week of the 13th of June.

During this week we would love all Daddies to come in for a stay and play session, it doesn’t have to be a day your child attends. All you need to do is chat to the staff in your child’s room and sign up for a session!

We will also be having a Father’s Day breakfast on Friday 17th June, so come along and have a bacon sandwich with your child for breakfast. Please sign up in your child’s room J

 

Music session

Just to let you know due to other working commitments Ellie and Custard had their last session with us last Friday. We have a new company joining us on a Friday afternoon called Theatrebugs, they will be sharing with us different stories and having lots of music and dance fun. ‘Theatrebugs carefully designs each adventure to ignite your child’s imagination and allow their confidence to bloom!’.

The Sunflowers School Leavers Graduation is Thursday 21st July from 3.30-5pm.

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

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.
