MAY 2019 PARENT NEWSLETTER
Thank you to everyone who got involved in our Easter Bonnet competition. We had some lovely entries and it was nice to see the involvement from all rooms.
We are holding our next Parents Evening this month. On Tuesday 21st May from 6.30-8.30. Please speak to a member of staff in your child’s room about booking a time slot with your childs key worker.
Unfortunately, due to the time of year, Chickenpox has been doing the rounds. Please remember that children need to be kept off until ALL of the spots have scabbed over.
School leavers…Please inform a member of management or preschool of the school that you have been allocated. This is so we can begin the transition period and help all the children with the next step of their learning journey.
In the local area, Sweeps festival is being held in Rochester over the 4th and 5th May 2019. Rochester’s annual Sweeps Festival recreates the joy and laughter enjoyed by chimney sweeps at their traditional holiday. It was the one time of the year that the sweeps could leave the soot behind and have some fun.
Now the weather is getting warmer, suncream and hats will need to start be provided for the children. Please ensure all childrens belongings are clearly labelled. Children must wear suitable clothing i.e. no spaghetti straps on tops and enclosed shoes with backs. This is for their safety.
Notice to all Parents and Visitors…Please do NOT put our doors on latches. This is for the safety and security of the children.

What the Children will be focusing on
Baby Room
Baby had lots of fun making all their Easter crafts and their Rice Krispy cakes. Some of the children got involved in cress growing so they are now waiting to see what happens. In May the babies will be hopefully going out exploring the surrounding areas. They will be continuing their recently animal theme and be reading the book titled ‘moo’ which explores the farm and the sounds that animals make.
Toddler Room
Toddlers also got involved with a growing activity last month and would like pictures of the sunflowers and cress as they grow. You are welcome to email them over and we will print them for displaying. Toddlers would also like some updated pictures for their family tree. Toddlers book of the month is going to be Jack and the Bean Stalk. They have already started to make the magic beanstalk and this will be added to as more crafts are completed.
Preschool
Preschool are going to be focusing upon ensure our children are ready for their ‘big schools’. There will be a display of pictures showing the new schools, a role play area of a school and lots of chats to help the children get excited. As well as this, the children will be reading The 3 Little Pigs with lots of activities going on, including mask making, acting the story and making houses with various materials.
