Forest Area Visits

These visits will take place on the following days:-

         Tuesday 22^nd June

         Monday 28^th June

         Tuesday 6^th July

         Monday 12^th July

Please make a note of the dates that your child will visit the forest area and ensure they are wearing long trousers/leggings and long-sleeved tops (there are stinging nettles and thistles in the area), as well as weather appropriate clothing such as outdoor coats/sunhats, wellington boots, waterproofs and named water bottle.  A list of the dates are also displayed next to the notice board in the lobby.  In the hot weather your child will still need to be covered to visit the forest area, but please do feel free to put summer clothing, i.e. shorts and t-shirts, in their bag and they can change when back at Pre-school.

 

Weather

Please ensure your child/ren has sun cream applied before they come into Pre-school, we will then reapply during the day.  Please let us know if you have applied long lasting sun protection so that we do not reapply during the day, also remember named sunhats, thank you.

 

Footwear

Your child will need to wear closed toe shoes at Pre-school due to safety reasons, please no flipflops or open toed sandals.  The bark area outside can easily get into shoes and welly boots so please ensure your child is wearing socks, thank you.

 

Holiday Club

Thank you to everyone who has returned the booking forms for the Holiday Club, there are still spaces available so if you have not already done so, please return the form as soon as possible.  We will let everyone know before the end of term how we will be running the club this year.

 

Stower Provost Community School

For those children who are leaving us and moving on to Stower Provost Community School this year there is a box available for you to look through of second-hand uniform which you may find useful.  We will put the box on or by the decking area, weather depending, for you to have a look through over the next three weeks, the School is asking for donations for items taken.

 

 

 

 

Leavers Photo

We will be having a photo taken of the children who are leaving us to move on to School in July.  This is a lovely keepsake of your child’s time with us.  Beki Young Photography will be coming to Pre-school soon to take the photograph, please return the slip below giving your permission for your child to take part and return it to Pre-school, thank you.
