As you are all aware we are holding our Summer Fayre on Saturday 10th July 2021.  One of the main fund raisers at this fun event is our Chinese Auction but we need you help to make it as successful as possible. Are you able to donate a prize for our auction? Maybe you know a local business that would be happy to, or you have a family member or a close friend that would be able to donate a prize?

 

We would be delighted to receive donations for vouchers for services like haircuts, an MOT from a local garage, DIY jobs from builders, a manicure or pedicure from a salon.  The list is endless and really can be anything that we can add to our catalogue of prizes.

 

Please let us know by 7th May if you are able to help so that we can add your prize donation into our catalogue.  Many thanks.

 

 

Parent Consultations week commencing 17th May – You should all now have received an email inviting you to make an appointment for a parent consultation with your child’s key person.  You can either make an appointment for a face-to-face meeting with your key person in the garden or a telephone call.  We will chat to you about how your child is getting on, their friends, their progress and will answer any questions you may have.  Appointments will be for 15 minutes.  Please get in touch with the office if you would like to make an appointment and haven’t yet done so.

We would love to hear about your child’s ‘WOW’ moments at home!  If your child does or says something at home that makes you say ‘WOW’ you could use the slip below to tell us about it!  It could be the first time they pedalled their bike, a new word they’ve learnt and used correctly, counting to ten for the first time, we’d love to hear from you.  Additional ‘WOW’ slips are available in our reception area if you would like a paper copy.
