We would like to welcome all our parent/carers and
children to the new Autumn term. All children have been allocated a key person
who will be working specifically with them. If you do not know who your key
person is please ask Sally or Lynne.
Please ensure that your child is warmly dressed as the
hall can be a bit draughty at times. If your child comes to Pre-school in boots
please change them into trainers and dress them appropriately for outdoor play.
Please please please label all coats and bags with child’s name to avoid tears
(from children and adults!!!)
In the event of snow we will do our best to remain open
but if in doubt please ring the above number.
The theme this term is Colours, Numbers and Shapes. We are looking at the shapes around us, shape names, number names and counting, and all the colours of the rainbow. We are celebrating Eid with a feast of flat bread, cous cous and minted yoghourt. We will be exploring fire work night and Poppy day, along with Divali and Christmas. Our church vicar brings his guitar along to explain the Christmas story and sings children’s Christmas songs. Towards the end of term we will have a lovely Christmas party for the children!!
Please
continue to support us with your weekly contributions of fruit. The children
love it and it is a great time for them to chat to each other about what they
have been doing etc.
Our coffee
mornings will be held on Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th
November from 9am to 10.30. All parent/carers are invited to stay for coffee and
homemade cakes. This is a great opportunity to watch your child at play and
even join in, talk to the staff and your keyworker, and meet the other parents.
We only ask for a small donation towards refreshments. All monies raised will
go towards the children’s Christmas party.
If your
child is starting school in September 2016 please be aware that all
applications must be submitted to Essex County Council by January 2016. There
is a notice in Pre-school outlining how to gain the information you need to apply.
Fundraising
is an important part of Pre-school life. It helps pay for new equipment and
resources for the children. Next term we will be holding a clothes collection
event so please save all your unwanted clothes, bags, shoes and even sheets and
duvet covers. Green collection bags will be given out next term. We normally
raise around £100 so this is a really good fundraising event!!
We have a
large “penny pot” which we are filling up, so if you have any spare coins we
are sure your child would enjoy putting them in our pot!!
If anyone
has any great fundraising ideas we are always open to suggestions and don’t
forget the Easy Fundraising web site for all your on-line shopping.
