Christmas 2012

Blog update Friday 7^th December

Christmas Concert:

We are all very much looking forward to our Christmas concerts next week. The children have enjoyed practising the songs and rehearsing ready to perform in front of their parents.

We are asking parents to dress their children up (or bring something in to be changed into) in anything related to the festive period, whether you choose to just focus on the colours of Christmas, it’s completely up to you!

If you are unsure which day your child is participating in the concert, please ask a member of staff. The concert will start at 2.30 on each afternoon, and you’ll be invited to stay for mince pies and mulled wine once the concert has finished.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Christmas activities update:

On Thursday the 13^th December, we had originally booked Magic Marty, but we have now decided to book a different entertainer instead. The Purple Teapot Puppet Company will be visiting us;

‘The Purple Teapot Puppet Company specialises in providing customised shows for children between the ages 2 to 8 and incorporates songs, music, magic and of course, puppets.’

Pre-school Painting:

As some of you may have noticed, pre-school’s ‘Oak Room’ has now been decorated with a fresh coat of paint. We have chosen a neutral blend of colours with regards to the paint, and are working on new displays and visual stimulation to provide an element of vibrancy. We are hoping to also have our ‘Willow Room’ decorated at the beginning of next year.

Cold Weather:

As we have been experiencing some colder weather spells recently, could we please remind parents/carers to make sure that their children bring labelled hats, scarves and gloves etc with them as we still like to provide the children with the option of accessing our outdoor learning environments as part of our free-flow provision.
