Dear parents,

Curriculum Plans
We are busy making plans for our end of term Fashion Show. The children are enjoying creating their own T shirts, and we will soon get busy making props for our stage. We are looking forward to a fun filled morning as we celebrate your children’s creativity.
We are continuing to watch our potatoes and strawberries grow and change. How are yours doing at home ?
Our caterpillars have now arrived and are growing fast.We are looking forward to watching them develop into butterflies and releasing them on a sunny day in the garden
Nut Allergy – Reminder
Please note that nursery is a nut free. Please be careful in particular about bringing in hazelnuts, peanuts and almond nuts or products that contain them in childrens lunch boxes.
If you have any questions about whether an item is suitable or not please ask a member of staff.
Sun protection
Now that the sun is finally shining please do remember to send your child in with a sun hat and apply long lasting sun cream before they arrive at nursery. Both of our gardens are quite shady so the children are not in direct sun for very long each day but we still need to be cautious.
