I know many of you will be wondering if Pre-School is open tomorrow (Wednesday 1st March) and I am delighted to let you know that we will be open as usual with lots of fun in store.
We have a busy few weeks ahead! Don’t forget World Book Day on Thursday 2nd March as we’d love your children to come in to school dressed as their favourite book character.
To celebrate Mothers Day later this month we would like to welcome all our mummies and grandmas into Pre-School the week of 13th -18th March. Please speak to Mrs BJ to arrange a convenient time.
We will also be holding face-to-face parents evening on 13th March – please look out for more information and our parent questionnaire that will follow soon.
Please note; in order that we can concentrate on providing a stimulating environment for your children and encourage learning through play, we will be reducing the amount of observations we carry out. We will still be covering all 7 areas of EYFS. You may also notice less photos uploaded on Babysday as we will be spending more time having fun with the children.
Please feel free to speak to me if you have any questions.
REMEMBER – Pre-School will be closed for Easter from 31st March – 14th April.
Kind regards,
Mrs BJ and the Pre-School Team
