Dear families.

Well, here we are in the last term of the academic year! Time has flown by, watching our little ones grow and learn. This term is 8 weeks and we have some lovely things planned before breaking up for summer.

Firstly, some reminders. -

Please apply sun cream before children attend, let us know if you have forgotten to do so.

Bring water bottles – again let us know so we can provide a spare.

It would be useful to teach your child to put their socks inside shoes when they take them off so they don’t get muddled around the sandpit.

Last day of term is Friday 24th July apart from for those who missed a session due to bank holiday on Monday 4th May will be offered Monday 27th as a replacement session.

Autumn term will start Monday 7th September. Reminders can be found on our website.

So, for the first few weeks we will be growing plants and learning all that entails. We are hoping to grow cress, make some grass heads as well as the plants that are already growing in the garden. The children especially enjoy our strawberries. This project will continue throughout the term as things grow.

We will then have a 2-week project on road safety. More to follow.

Finally, there will be lots of school role play and support, particularly for those who will be moving on, but also for everyone to participate and enjoy.

We will share more information as we move along, ideas for home etc but for now if you wish to contribute in any way to our plant growing theme, any support and ideas are gratefully received.

Finally, we are so sad to let you know that Amy is unable, for now, to return to nursery. She is taking the time that she needs to rest and be with her family. We miss her incredibly and cant thank her enough for being amazing.

Dear parents

We have enjoyed our growing project and will continue with this throughout the term. Our strawberries are doing well and we are successfully growing more seeds.

We are going to move on to Road Safety from Monday 22nd. We have a zebra crossing mat and role play kit and the lollipop lady from DPA has kindly offered to visit us.

KCC have provided us with an amazing resource to share with the children and their families. We will forward a video for you on the WhatsApp group, so you can join in and reinforce learning at home.

The resource is specifically for pre-school road safety and includes a story with Kip the bear. The message is to Stop, Look, Listen, Think and Hold Hands – this is the road safety code.

Also, thank you for purchasing your child’s pictures through MyArt, we have raised £50 so far.

The committee are planning a mini fair on Thursday 16th July. It will be straight from pick up and include a few activities in the back room for a minimal fee, more to follow, but keep the date.

We are busy helping school leavers and families with their transitions to primary school, and we plan to have lots of school role play, with uniform and picture books to help support this, for the final 3 weeks of term.

Last day of term is Friday 24th July or Monday 27th for those children that missed out on a session Monday 4th May.

Thank you
