Lending Library The children love reading books. The P6 children thought it would be a good idea to set up a lending library so that the children from the ELC could take some of their favourite books home for a while. They have chosen a range of books that they thing the children will like and have gathered them together into a box. If you would like to borrow a book just sign it out and then when you have finished having fun with it at home just sign it back in and take another. The P6 children will keep refreshing the books at are available. if you have a special request for a book you would like to borrow just let us know and the children will do their best to find it.  

Parental involvement Some mums and dads have offered to come in over the next few weeks to talk about to the  children about their jobs. If this is something you would like to do just let the member of staff who greets you at the door (on the week that it’s their turn to do door duty we fondly refer to them as ‘The Butler’. If you would like to do this but can’t fit it in just now, please don’t worry as this is something tht can be ongoing throughout the year.  

Possible Developments for Next Year Because we take our lead from the children as their interests develop we don’t tend to plan in advance in a rigid way. However,  this is the time of year when we have to formally record our aspirations for Improvements that we think are suitable for next session. If there is anything you would like to suggest that we incorporate into the life of our nursery please let us know. One of our mums Marie Harrison is going to help us capture families opinions about this in a light hearted and informal manner before the end of term. Have a think about what you would like and we can chat about ideas when we meet. Watch this space and the ELC noticeboard for the date of the gathering. 

Dates for your diary 

Week of the 19th June is our induction days. This is when our new P1 children will move over to the main building to meet their teacher and new classmates for next session. They will go over on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and will also have the chance to join the school in the lunchhall at lunchtime. If you are the parent of a 4yr old and would like to accompany your child you can eat your lunch together you will both be made very welcome. Just let Janette in the office know your plan for that week. I think the cost of an adult meal is £3.20 I’ll check this and confirm here.
