Nativity
We
are having two performances of the Christmas Nativity on Thursday 6th
December to enable us to involve all of the children; one performance will be
at 9.30 am and the other at 4.30 pm. Seats for these shows will be
allocated on a first come first served basis and only two seats per family,
although you don’t have to attend the same performance. The signup sheets are
in the hallway. More details about your child’s part in the play will follow
shortly. We will be allowing photographs (not videos) to be taken so if you
would rather your child did not participate please let us know.
If
your child is not in on that day you do not need to bring them in for both
performances, just the one you are attending.
French
class
We
are thinking about having a French class for the Sunflowers Preschoolers on a
Wednesday morning from January. This would be at an additional charge of £3.00
per French lesson. We will only be able to run the class with a certain number
of children so Jess and the Preschool team will be asking parents if you are
interested over the next few weeks.
Autumn fun!
We
are enjoying the milder Autumn weather. We even had a treasure hunt in the
leaves!
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.
