PLEASE NAME ALL YOUR CHILD’S BELONGINGS
Welcome back! We hope you have enjoyed the Christmas Break and are looking forward to returning in the New Year.
We want to send everyone A Big Thank You for all our cards, kind words and gifts, they mean a lot to all of us and we feel extremely fortunate to work with such lovely families.
The children had a fabulous time over the last few weeks of term and really enjoyed their festive fun day, dancing, singing, playing festive games and watching a video link to Christmas Elves then completing a candy cane treasure hunt to find a gift left from Father Christmas for each child.
We welcome our new children and families over the next few weeks and all the children will be bonding as a group.
This term we say goodbye to Melissa who is leaving us and moving on, we will all miss her and wish her well in the future.
Please make sure you are bringing in the items you signed up to on the snack and consumables list, so we have items to serve the children at snack time… Thank you.
