The ‘Christmas Countdown’ will begin with our annual Isobel Mair School and Family Centre Christmas Fair which will be hosted on Thursday 7th December from 6pm – 7.30pm. Please bring the family along for some festive fun!
Following the Christmas Fair, we have a range of other events over Christmas – please pop the dates in your diary!
Christmas Craft Day on Friday 8th December – please come along and join your child from 9am -10.30 or 1pm – 2.30pm to do some Christmas crafting. All staff across the three playrooms will have Christmas themed crafts available for you to come and participate in with your child. We welcome parents, grandparents, other family members, child-minders….the more the merrier!
Nativity Rehearsal on Monday 11th December – just bring your child for the usual nursery session and we will do the rest!
‘Santa’s Little Helpers’ Day on Wednesday 13th December – if you have a spare hour or so please come along and help wrap some gifts for the children. There are 66 children to wrap for and we do not want staff to be taken away from their time spent with the children in the playrooms. Any offers of help would be most appreciated.
Nativity Performance on Thursday 14th December – Parents, family and friends are invited to watch the children perform the Nativity at 10am – 11am for our morning children and from 2pm – 3pm for our afternoon children. The Nativity will be at Newton Mearns Baptist Church and all are welcome.
Christmas Jumper Day – Friday 15th December – wear a Christmas jumper and bring a donation for Save the Children
Christmas Parties on Tuesday 19th December – party clothes on to come and dance and meet Santa Claus…usual nursery session times apply.
Last Day for term time children on Wednesday 20th December – Children who attend on a term time basis will have their last day with us today. There is no early closure, although you are welcome to collect your child early if it suits you to do so given school’s close at 2.30.
Last day for extended service children on Friday 22nd December – closure at 2.30
We are hoping some parents would like to offer a little helping hand on the day of our Nativity performance at Newton Mearns Baptist Church, Friday 11th December.
We are planning to leave the Family Centre with the morning children at 9.30am and at 1pm with the afternoon children and although only a short walk, many hands make light work!
If you are able to assist in walking with the children, please let Donna or Aileen know and we will add your name to our parent helper list.
If you are unable to help on this occasion but would like to offer help in other ways, please let us know – there are always jobs to be done!
Thank you to all parents who supported last night’s Christmas Fayre. We had so many parents who donated items for the tombola, bottle stall, home baking and handmade items for us to sell at our table so many thanks to all!
It was a wonderful evening with a fantastic turn out despite the torrential rain, many thanks for coming along.
