The Jolly Phonic Sounds for this week are i,n.
We have started to welcome our new children and families and are bonding as a group.
The children are settling well at Pre-School as they
Become familiar to a new environment without their familiar adults.
Learn new expectations of their behaviour.
Learn new routines and boundaries,
Mix with new children and adults.
Learn to take turns, share, and maybe wait for their needs to be met e.g when they want a particular toy, or to use certain equipment such as a bike or wait for their turn for snack time.
Please remember to bring in your child’s sun hat to keep at Pre-School and to freshly apply sun cream before they arrive for their session. The children who stay all day also need a named bottle of suncream.
Please remember to wait OUTSIDE the building in a queue and NOT inside the lobby and a member of staff will come and let you know when it is time to come in.
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 cooperation.
