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.
