DATES TO REMEMBER
We have many events taking place this half term and would welcome as much
support and attendance as possible.
Parents Evening – Thursday 12th June. Due to the high number of children that we
currently have on register, we are prioritising the children who will be starting school
in September for this parents evening. An appointment can be made for other
children if required at another time – please speak to your child’s key person.
Transition Story Cafe – Wednesday 25th June 8.50 – 9.50 a.m.
This story cafe will be available to children that attend Pre-School on a Wednesday
morning and to children that will be starting school in September. We will be
enjoying a wonderful story about starting school and the children will have the
opportunity to participate in a range of activities.
Thursday 26th June – Inset Day – Pre-School closed
Pyjama Week 30th June – 4th July
This will be a sponsored event to raise funds for Pre-School. Sponsor forms will be
issued shortly. We are carrying this event on for a week to ensure that all the
children attending Pre-School can enjoy the many fun activities in store. Please help
us to raise as much money as possible. We will plan all the activities, all we ask is that
your child attends Pre-School wearing pyjamas.
Pre-School Sports Day – Wednesday 9th July 2.00 – 3.15 p.m
If your child is attending our Sports Day, please ensure that they wear appropriate
footwear such as training shoes (no crocs or flip flops). Please complete the tear-off
form to follow if you wish your child to be included.
Grandparents Afternoon – Thursday 10th July 1.30 p.m. – 3.00 p.m
We would love to see as many children come along with their Grandparent(s) and
spend the afternoon joining in with lots of the things that we enjoy doing at PreSchool. This is a fundraising event so we would appreciate donations of:
 Cakes for the cake stall (please bring in on the day)
 Tombola prizes (anything in new condition from a tin of beans to a child’s
toy/puzzle, toiletries, etc)
 There will be books for sale as well as the opportunity for the children to have
their photograph taken with their grandparent(s) to purchase in a frame made
by the children.
Please ensure that any Grandparent attending brings along some money to
support this event if possible.
Transition picnic – Wednesday 16th July 1.30 – 3.30 p.m.
This event will be available to children that attend Pre-School on a Wednesday
afternoon and to children that will be starting school in September. We will be
liaising with reception class and the children will have access to a wide range of
fun activities. In order for children to get to know their new teachers and interact
with the many activities, this is for children only, so please complete the form to
follow if you wish your child to be left with staff at Pre-School to enjoy this event.
A picnic will be provided for the children.
Last day of term celebrations – Wednesday 23rd July 2.30 – 3.30 p.m
Children attending Pre-School on this afternoon are welcome to come in on this
last day of term in fancy dress of their choice. We invite all Pre-School children to
come along with parents for the last hour of the day (also in fancy dress if the
children wish) so that we can say goodbye to our children that will be going to
school, take photographs and issue leaver’s certificates.
This half term we will be learning
through the theme of holidays,
summer and the seaside. We have
many fun activities planned
for the children to enjoy in
our indoor and outdoor
environment.
Parking
Please ensure that you do not
park to collect/drop off your child
in the school entrance or on the
yellow zig-zag lines outside the school. We
must keep the school entrance clear AT ALL
TIMES. Thank you.
Polite Reminder
As all sessions are now full, it is VITAL that
you collect your child on time. We are not
allowed to go over our registered number of
18 children at any time. We also must have
prompt collection at the end of the day.
