Dear
Parents
Pantomime
If
any Sunflower parents would like their child to go to the Pantomime on Friday
12th December please can you make sure you have paid your money by
Monday morning as I will be getting the tickets then.
Nativity
plays
There
will be three nativity plays this year.
Monday
8th December at 4.00
Tuesday
9th December at 9.30
Tuesday
9th December at 4.00
There
is no cost to see the nativity play but we are limiting seats to 2 per family.
Please sign up which performance you would like to see in Sunflowers. This is a
first come first served booking system!
All
of the children will be able to take part in the nativity and if your child is
not in you can bring them in for the performance you would like to see.
We will be letting you know asap what role your child has so you have plenty of
time to sort out a costume.
Please
don’t panic about costumes, it’s not the west end! Tea towels on heads are
exactly the sort of standard we are aiming for. For any more information please
see the Sunflowers team.
Please
be aware that we allow parents to photograph/film the production so if you
would rather your child not take part please let us know.
Christmas
party
The
Christmas parties are on Friday 5th December from 3.30 -5pm. If your
child is not in on this day they are welcome to come along with an adult.
We
will be having party games, a party tea and a visit from Father Christmas.
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:
