The Jolly Phonic Sounds for this week​​ are​​ l,j

The children greatly enjoyed World Book Day last week,​​ there were children in cosy pyjamas and in fabulous costumes. We read lots of stories together in a cosy bedtime setting in the book corner.​​ We want to​​ build​​ a life-long love of reading in our children. Giving a child time and full attention​​ when reading them a story tells them they​​ matter.​​ It builds self-esteem, vocabulary, feeds imagination​​ and even improves their sleeping patterns.​​ Remember​​ to take their £1 book token to participating retailers where you can swap it for a World Book Day book or​​ get £1 off​​ a full price title.

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.

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.
