Friday 14th May 2010.
Dear Parents & Carers,
General Meeting
Thank you to those parents who attended and supported the Pre-School. I am thrilled to announce that Jo Johnson, ( Pip & Rosie’s Mum) has agreed to become a member of the Committee, thankyou!
Willow Dome
Thanks to Tim Johnson’s efforts, ( Pip & Rosie’s Dad ) we now have a beautiful willow dome in our garden for the children to play in. They all have great fun with it, and hopefully, weather permitting, it will last for quite some time. Thanks again Tim, for putting your artistic flair into such a wonderful creation, for our children’s enjoyment.
Barbecue
As last year’s was such a success, we are planning to hold another on Friday 18th June and would appreciate any offers of help. More information to follow soon.
Sports Day
We are planning to hold Sports Day on Friday 2nd July. It will start at approximately 9.30am on the school field. If we are unlucky with the weather, then we will aim to hold it the following week on Friday 9th July. If your child is not in session, then please just arrive at the field with your child at 9.30am, so they can participate. We will be selling cold drinks and cakes to add to your enjoyment! I will be press-ganging individuals nearer the time, to bake for us. It goes without saying, that I will make my ‘world famous’ carrot cake for your delectation!!!
Trip to Amazon World
This will take place on Tuesday 13th July. We will be collected by an IOW Council school bus at Pre-School at 10am and return at 1.30pm to arrive back at Pre-School for about 2pm. Your child will need to take a disposable packed lunch (food & drink in a named carrier bag, which can be thrown away afterwards) which will be kept in cool boxes on the day.
There will need to be high ratios of adults to children, otherwise the trip will not be able to take place. Please give your name to me as soon as possible, if you can help.
All staff are first aiders and are aware of emergency procedures. Emma & I will have responsibility for the trip, so if you have any concerns, please feel free to have a chat with either of us.
If you need to contact us whilst on the trip, we can be reached on 07734 809211.
If your child does not normally attend Pre-School on a Tuesday, they will need to be booked in for the usual fee.
All staff will be attending this trip, so Pre-School will be closed for the day. If you do not wish your child to go to Amazon World, I will adjust your fees accordingly.
A risk assessment will be carried out prior to the visit.
Please sign and return the consent slip at the end of this letter, along with monies as soon as possible.
Backdrop to Learning
The children are learning all about ‘jungles’ at the moment. So if your child has anything of interest at home connected to this theme, then please let them bring it in to show and tell their friends.
Amy’s Leaving
Amy will be leaving us on Tuesday 25th May. She has secured an exciting position of Play Worker at the new Spurgeons Children’s Centre in Newport. P.T.O.
We would like to thank her for her dedication whilst at Springhill, and wish her well in her new position.
Half Term
We finish on Friday 28th May and return on Monday 7th June. Even though Holy Cross is having a Development Day on this date, we will be open as usual.
That’s all for now folks!
Lou & The Girls.
