The Jolly Phonic Sounds for this week are b,f
March 7th is World Book Day. This year we ask children to come dressed as a book character or in their cosy pyjamas ready for a bedtime story. Please don’t worry if your child is reluctant to dress up, we just want them to enjoy the day listening to stories together which is the most important part of World Book Day, maybe they will feel more confident to dress up another year. We will be reading stories together and the children will all receive a £1 book token that can be exchanged for a children’s book, we hope to spark their enthusiasm and get them excited to pick up a book.
Make sure you have signed up for a meeting with your keyperson for our Coffee/Progress Day.
Helen or Michele will have the sign-up sheet on the door.
The new children are becoming familiar with our routines, starting to try to put on and remove their coats and change their shoes & wellies. Remember they must recognise their own items in amongst all the other coats, shoes, and boots. We promote independence and self-help skills in everything we do at pre-school.
Please make sure you are bringing in the items you signed up to on the snack and consumables list, and a big thank you to those who regularly donate items each week.
A reminder to everyone that no food containing Nuts or Sesame must be brought onto the premises, in lunch boxes or for snacks. No food items or sweets are to be brought in by older siblings at drop off and pick up times. Thank you.
Please name all items belonging to your child, coats, bags, shoes, lunch bags, water bottles and uniform.
Scooters And Bikes Must Not Be Ridden into The Building for Health & Safety Reasons
Please Leave Them Safely Outside of The Pre-School Lobby While Collecting Your Child
Thank you for your co-operation.
