Week 3 of 1st Half Summer Term @ Beddington
29th April – 3rd May 2024
Please do not put any fruit rolls/sweets or chocolate items in your child’s lunch box. As well as possible allergies, as an early years setting, we must promote a healthy diet and oral health as laid out in the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework, and act on the advice from Ofsted. Thankyou!
Next week is the start of National Gardening Week (1-7 May). We will be reading garden themed stories, digging in our mud kitchen and talking about how things grow and planting sunflowers to bring home.
