Christmas Dates
We have now added those all-important Christmas dates to our diary but wish to draw your attention to them here to make sure no-one misses them. We hope that you will be able to join us for our Christmas celebration with Rev. McGougan on Friday 18th December and Christmas parties will be on Monday 21st December. Details will follow nearer the time.
Individual and Family Photographs
The final date for photographs to be returned to school is Friday, 30th October. Thank you.
Time For Rhyme
We would like to draw your attention to our first Family Learning event of the year on Friday 4th September. Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, is planning “Time For Rhyme” sessions for you and your child to decorate rhyme bags and make some rhyme ‘props’.
A letter will be in your child’s tray in Nursery this week explaining Family Learning to everyone and you can sign up for the sessions, if you wish, on the grids on display on the Family Learning board in the Nursery corridor. We hope that lots of families take the opportunity to join in this fun activity.
World Book Day
We would like to remind you that we will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 5th March with a visit to Annan library for some storytelling. As part of a whole school event, the children are also invited to come to Nursery in their pyjamas with their favourite book. If your child is wearing pyjamas that day, please ensure that they are warm enough, perhaps with something underneath their pyjamas, and that they have a cosy coat for the walk to the library. Please return your permission slip to Nursery as soon as possible if you have not already done so. Thank you.
Enrolment
Please remember that Wednesday and Thursday (25th and 26th February) are enrolment days for Nursery. If your child is already in Nursery and returning next year you should have your form. If your child is hoping to start Nursery in the next academic year, please come to the school office to complete the enrolment form. We look forward to seeing you there.
Family Breakfast
We would like to remind you that the Family Breakfast event will be held tomorrow, 5th February, for the children and their families from the Sunshine Room. If you returned the slip to say that you plan to attend, this will be in the school dinner hall at 9.00 for morning children and 2.30 for those in the afternoon. Rainbow Room children and their families will take part on Friday, 6th February, at the same times. We look forward to seeing you all then.
New Term
Monday 5th January will be the start of term when we look forward to seeing everyone again. Lots of new children will also be getting ready for their first day and we feel sure that you will make them feel welcome in our Nursery. They will be excited to be starting Nursery and looking forward to making new friends so we hope that this is the beginning of a happy experience for them.
Our morning session will have a soft start, as usual, between 8.45 and 9.10. The afternoon session will begin at 12.15. We hope that you enjoy the rest of your holiday and we will see you all on Monday.
Start of Term
We are looking forward to seeing everyone when Nursery starts on Wednesday. It will be lovely to see those who are returning for their second year and to get to know all our new children and their families.
Our hours have been extended, in line with all pre-school providers, to offer you a possible 3 hours 10 minutes per day. This means that morning children can arrive any time between 8.45 and 9.10 with the morning session ending at 11.55. All afternoon children start at 12.15 and can be collected from 3.00 until 3.25.
Please remember, if this is your child’s first time in Nursery, that we suggest he/she comes for one hour initially to help him/her to settle in.
