Time: 9.15 – 10.30
Please join us on sports day for some fun and games.
For Children’s safety: Children who do not attend the pre-school session on
a Tuesday are very welcome to join us, but they need to have a parent/carer stay with them
as we need to maintain adult/child ratios for the
safety of the children.
Holidays
If you have any holidays planned during the next half term, could you please complete a holiday form. Thank you.
Cake and Plant Sale
We made £400.00!!!! what an amazing amount, thank for your support. Thank you so much to all who donated plants and delicious cakes. As always you have been truly generous.
Summer Fair
Friday 7th June
Any donations teddies or cuddly toys for out stall would be appreciated
Outdoor Play
We will be outside as often as possible this term. While Crocs and sandals are perfect for home, we find that they aren’t suitable for climbing, balancing etc. Please apply sun block before the preschool session/day – however on full days, we are happy to re-apply at lunch time, please label your child’s sun block and pop it in their bags. Don’t forget Sunhats please.
Leavers Picnic
Fingers crossed we are hoping to hold our leavers picnic on Wednesday 23rd July at 1.00 pm. We are hoping that the children who are leaving to go to school and their families will be able to join us. Details to follow. For those children who are not leaving and would usually stay all day, we are asking that they could be collected at 12pm on that Wednesday. Thank you.
