Recent Events
Our 40th anniversary buffet lunch was a great success with a visit from the Mayor, members of the community and St George's church and approximately sixty children and parent/carers from past and present!! We had a lovely photo in the Echo and a memorable time was had by all. The children's party will be on 18th July with a show by Papalarni.
We will be holding a Bouncy Fun Day on Thursday 5th July for all the children, with a bouncy castle, a ball pool and soft play toys.
Coffee mornings will be held on Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th July. All parent/carers are welcome. The Learning Journals will be on displayed and parent consultations will be available on request. The eating of cakes is compulsory!!!
In April we had some excellent in-house Makaton training for all staff. In September we are hoping to start "sign of the week" to introduce all children to Makaton sign language. This is used to assist communication skills (one of the Prime Areas of the Revised EYFS).
We have attended various training courses on the Revised EYFS and will be implementing it in September. If you would like to view these changes please visit: www.foundationyears.org.uk
Another useful website for parent/carers to aid communication skills is

Wow! Board.
This is a new notice board in pre-school to share wow factor news from parent/carers, children and staff with everyone. If you have any news e.g. new baby, swimming certificate etc please come and tell us.

Spring Newsletter 2012
We would like to welcome everyone back to pre-school from Sally, Lynne and the Girls!
Hope you had a lovely holiday.
This is a very special year for our pre-school as we have been running for 40 years!! We will be celebrating with various events in the summer term, with a party for our children and a buffet lunch which will also include parent/carers and staff, both past and present. If you know anyone who has attended pre-school as either a child or a member of staff and would like to join our celebrations please contact us. We hope to have an article in the local paper and possibly a visit from the mayor. We will also be holding our usual coffee morning events.
Our theme this term is In the Garden. We are looking at animals that may come into our gardens, also Chinese New Year, Mother's Day and Easter. For Chinese New year the children helped to make a dragon which they paraded around the hall with one person in the head section and the others under the body as the legs. We then talked about where China is in relation to England and how you would get there. We tried some prawn crackers and lychees and the children all took home a drag9on they had made and a fortune cookie.
Thank you for your continued support in supplying fruit. The children really look forward to this part of the morning.

A letter from St. James's Palace
Recently we made a congratulations card for the royal wedding, which we posted to the palace. The evening Echo featured us in the paper (see here) which we were delighted about.
It gets even better when we received a response from the palace itself. Please see the attached letter below.
