News from the Managers Nicki and Tracey and deputy manager, Natalie – Firstly, we would like to say happy mother’s day to all the mums, aunties, grand-mums and special ladies we have in our lives, we hope you have a relaxing day! Secondly, we have some sad news to report. Laura is spreading her wings and furthering her career, thus leaving us on Monday 16 th March. We wish her all the best for her future and hope that she will not forget us and see us soon. On a more positive note, we have 2 new apprentices starting with us this month. We will introduce them as and when. Just a reminder, we are closed from Monday 30th-Friday 10th of April for Easter half term! Thursday 5th March: is world book day! Dress your child up as their favourite book character and bring in a labelled book for your child to share with their friends. It doesn’t have to be expensive and get creative! Friday 13th March: we will be raising money for Comic Relief! A small donation of £2 to help people around the world. We will be having a colourful flour throw-a-thon so please dress you child in OLD RED clothes as they will be getting messy! We would like to thank you for your co-operation at home times when picking up. We are very grateful and keep up the good work! Last reminder, if you were given a report by your key worker and haven’t yet returned it please do so ASAP. Your key worker will photocopy it and hand it back to you, we need to have a copy at the setting.
News from Natalie, Danielle, Seema, Diluni, Rosa, Jeanna, Marilyn, Laura, Erin and Anusha: If you have borrowed clothes from the pre-school please could you return them? We are running very low on girls trousers and if we have nothing to change your child into, we will have to ring you to come and pick them up from the setting. Same with wellington boots, if you have borrowed them please return them ASAP thank you. Please make sure you have as sufficient amount of clothes so that we are able to change your child especially if they are potty training. Also, we have had a dip in fruit supplies lately, please remember to bring in fruit on your child’s sessions. Just an apple or a banana will do. Our theme for this month is Animals, alongside the book ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’. This month there will be a mixture of activities and crafts going on so make sure you collect all their art work! We will have mother’s day activities as well as Easter activities and any other free marking your child wishes to engage in. Our topic of Animals will cover 3 weeks and each week will focus of a subtopic; Zoo’s and Oceans, Pets and Farm. We would love to see any pictures of your child with animals they have seen for their learning journals and to share with their peers. We would like you, as parents, to get involved in their learning journals. Well done if you have and please see your key worker if you haven’t. We have a parent’s page and some of them are looking a bit empty. Your keyworker will provide you with white sticky labels, for you to jot down a few things your have been up to at the weekend, during the week or even in the evenings. This can be as simple as any new words your child presents to you or something that they have never done before.
