March 2022 Newsletter
Dear Parents/Carers,
Welcome back. We hope you had a lovely break, and a warm welcome to all those joining us again this term.
Our topic for this term is “Space & Travel”. We will be finding out how we all get to Playgroup, do we walk, cycle, maybe use our scooters or our parents shoulder or do we live too far away and have to come in the car?. Holidays will also be on the agenda have we been on one are we going on one, how did we get there? Was it a long or short journey? Did we need a map. We shall also be making our own maps, whilst using our maths skills to chart & record everything we find out. We will be looking at all the different ways we travel. Which will also include rockets! Where do they go to? Could it be Mars alongside the Rover!
This term we will also be very busy celebrating Mother's Day & Easter, doing lots of fun Easter activities, whilst learning all about giving and sharing and thanking those who love and care for us.
This is the Spring term! So lots of planting, digging and hunting for mini beasts (on top & under ground,) will be taking place, so please send your child/children to Playgroup in clothes that are warm and you don't mind getting dirty.
The photographer will be visiting us during this term to take individual photos, when a date is set an email will be sent out. We also have the Easter Fayre on Saturday 26th March. So lots to look forward to.
REMINDERS
It is important that all parents/carers ensure they are at Playgroup on time to collect their child. Collection times are 11.45am for morning sessions and 2.45pm for the afternoon sessions. As we now offer wrap around hours that are charged for, we will be charging parents/carers who are late picking up £5 per 1-5 minutes, unless it has been agreed by a senior member of staff due to unforeseen circumstances. It is also distressing for your child to go out & have to return back in as you are not there but other parents are!
Please note that the decked area where bikes, scooters and prams are parked is very slippery at this time of year, Julie.
