Happy New Year!
We hope you all had a very good Christmas and didn’t have to get up too
early on the morning!
The theme this half term:
Animals
We are having a visit from
Zoo Lab, on Wednesday 10th January 2007, 9.30 to 10.30.
They are bringing a small selection of animals and will do a presentation called Wriggly road show.
The emphasis being on how animals move. If Wednesday is not your child’s normal day of attendance see Christine to book a place! There will be space for all but we need to arrange for extra adults.
Please could you assist the staff by taking your child to the toilet before you bring them into the playroom. Thank you.
TEMPEST PHOTOGRAPHER
Will be coming one Monday in February 2007 at 9.30.
This is an excellent opportunity to get your children’s photo’s done for a very modest price. She will do family groups at the same time & cost. Babies are welcome as well, there are not appointments, but we try to get families with babies done first.
The staff have been getting the children’s
profile’s up to date but we don’t seem to have every ones. So if you
have your child’s profile at home, please could we have it back to fill
in. If you don’t know what a profile is please see one of the staff as
soon as possible so we can give you one for your child.
If you are new this term we will be talking to you very soon to explain
every thing!
Fund raising
We’ve had a suggestion of an idea for fund raising for our garden/ outside play area: a promises blind auction.
This works by people promising a service, and bids being placed into an envelope stating how much they would be willing to pay for this service. Then on a certain day the envelopes are opened to find the highest bidder for that service.
Ideas for the promises have been:
Baby sitting
Cooking a family meal
Professional Family portrait
Cleaning the cooker
Grass cutting
Preparing a hanging basket
I’m sure you could come up with lots of ideas. We would like to run this after Februarys half term holiday, which is; Friday 9th Feb 07 to Monday 19th Feb 07. So please pledge a service as soon as possible so we can make up a list of lots on offer.
We had lots of people who were at our Nativity service saying how much they enjoyed it. But what we haven’t got is any photographs, as you may or may not realise is, the staff were a bit too busy that day to take any !! If you have some photos we would very much appreciate some, we can copy them on our new printer if necessary .
