Dear
Parents
Nativity
If
you haven’t already signed up to see the Nativity please do so! We only have
morning performance spaces left now, the signup sheets are in the hallway.
The
Babies will be playing Angels, the Bluebells will be Stars. The Sunflower
children have the main parts of the performance. We would like you to
provide the costumes but if you have any problems we are happy to help.
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.
Autumn
Fun
This
week we have been having tea by pumpkin light!
Stoke
Park fireworks and torch procession are on Monday 5th November so
traffic may be busy!
Don’t
forget to check out this week’s Surrey Advertiser so see if the Nursery’s 17th
birthday party gets a mention!
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.

over the next few weeks.
