November 2024 Newsletter
Dear Parents/Carers,
Welcome back, we hope you had a lovely October half term!
We have heard lots from the children about what they've been up to over the break.
This term our topic is "Celebrations" the children will be learning about different celebrations that may take place this time of year such as Bonfire night, Diwali, Remembrance day, Hannukah and Christmas. Alongside teaching the children about these celebrations they will be involved in craft related activities.
The 3& 4 year olds will now be doing PE every Wednesday, please could I remind all parents to pack your child a PE kit on this day consisting of a tshirt and leggings/joggers so they are able to practice getting themselves changed.
The first Consultation Evening will be on Tuesday 26th November. Please take this opportunity to come along to Playgroup and have a chat with your child's key person and see what your child has been doing.
We also have a cheese and wine evening on Friday 15th November at 7.00pm followed by our AGM meeting, we are hoping to see lots of you there! The cheese and wine will be a great opportunity to meet the manager and mingle with other parents. Please remember we need at least 33% of all our parents to attend the AGM to remain open.
This year we will be holding a Christmas bake sale to fundraise for the group and we will be selling these on a stand in the garden when you collect your children, we will send out details of the date asap.
We know Christmas is fast approaching and it can be hard to get prepared and keep your little ones occupied, we are planning to hold a Christmas "Drop and Shop" on Saturday 7th December (time and prices to follow) So parents are able to do those last minute bits of Christmas prep whilst your children enjoy an extra play at playgroup.
Spaces would need to be prebooked. If this sounds like something you would be interested in then please let me know via email so I can see if there is enough interest.
