Sports Day Sports Day (Thursday 17th July) is fast approaching! This year sports day will be broken into two groups as some of the children find it difficult to sit for a long period of time. Parents are still more than welcome to stay for the full afternoon to eat cake and socialise! The children will be taking part in several races. Everyone is welcome parents, carers, grannys, grandads, cousins, aunties etc. Non-leaver races– 12:30pm-1:30pm School leavers races – 1:30pm – 2:30pm Your children have been working very hard on their Sports Day T-shirts. These tops are for you to keep as a memento of the day, and we would really appreciate a donation of £5 to cover the cost. This will be added on to your July invoice. Can all school leavers that don’t usually attend a Thursday, be dropped off at 1:15pm sharp so they can be a part of the school Leavers' group photo before taking part in their races at 1:30pm. All younger children that don’t usual attend on a Thursday please be dropped off at 12:15pm We will be holding a raffle on Sports Day where you could win some great prizes! We would kindly welcome any donations of cupcakes and cakes for the day. Please bring them along with you when you drop your child(ren) to Pre-School that morning. Looking forward to seeing you all there.
Leavers Party Our Leavers' party is on Monday 21st July which is our last day of term. We are super excited to have one last big get together to celebrate all the friendships we've made and fun we've had along the way. The party will start at 1:15pm and finish at 2:45pm. For any School leavers that don't normally attend on a Monday, we would love for you to come along at 1:15pm and join in with the rest of us. All school leavers will receive a leavers gift at the end of the party we ask for a donation of £10 to cover the cost. This will be added to your July invoice. More details will be sent out regarding the party nearer the time.
Sun Cream As we are approaching the summer term (I know it doesn’t feel like it right now!) please can we ask that all children to have suncream applied before arriving at the setting as well as bringing a water bottle and a labelled sun hat. After lunch all children will be topped up with Pre-School sun cream.
Toys from Home We’ve had a lot of children bringing in toys from home, we understand the children love showing their friends their toys however, it can cause a lot of upset due to them getting lost, damaged or children not wanting to share them. Can we please ask that all toys are left at home, unless it is a comforter. Thank you.
Allergies Could we please ask that EGGS are NOT put in lunch boxes please. We have a child with us that is very allergic, and we need to be extra cautious. Products with egg in are fine but not whole eggs such as egg sandwiches, scotch egg, boiled eggs etc. Also, a reminder peanut butter or whole nuts are also not to be in children’s lunch boxes.
Uniform Don’t forget, our Pre-School uniforms are now available for purchase! You can get a cozy jumper for £15 and a comfortable T-shirt for only £10. Dressing in our school colours not only fosters a sense of community but also makes getting ready for school a breeze. If you’re interested in placing an order, please let us know.
Dates for your diaries Sports Day – Thursday 17th July – 12:30pm – 2:30pm Leavers Party – Monday 21st July – 1:15pm – 2:45pm End of Term 6 – Monday 21st July (Pre-School closes for all at 3pm on the last day of term)
General Reminders • Please can all clothing and Tupperware be labelled. • Please speak to your Key Person regularly about any changes at home or any achievements your child has made. Even small changes can influence behaviour or mood. You can use the direct message option on baby’s days also. • Please make sure your child has a labelled water bottle with them. This is so the children can have access to a drink throughout the day. • If your child has an item that will require heating for lunch, please place it in the hot lunch box by the front door. (We do not reheat rice). • To reduce the risk of choking we ask that no whole grapes, cherry tomatoes, olives or Maltesers are in lunch boxes. These can cause a plug in a child's throat. When cutting fruit, please cut them length ways and grapes into four quarter strips.
