week commencing 11th August

Dear Parents

 

Head lice

There has been one case of head lice in Bluebells. Please can you check your child’s hair even if it is short! Thank you

 

Wednesday

Jess and Charlotte wanted me to put about Wednesday on here. I hope this makes sense to you as I have no idea what’s happening!

Any questions see Jess or Charlotte

 

Menus

There are no planned changes to this week’s menu.

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:
