Dear Parents / Carers
Playhouse Activities This Week – There has been a great deal of Superhero play this week. We read Harry the Happy Mouse, this is about kindness. We talked about doing helpful and kind things to help people. We have kept the castle up and there has been a great deal of parties and weddings. Alfie & Florence have been King Charles III and Queen Camilla. There have been conversations about people who help us, and we have been thinking about all the amazing jobs there are and how they each help us.
Forest School – In Forest school this week we have been on a bug hunt around the garden. The children enjoyed listening to Super Worm and spoke about all the different bugs that they could see in the story.
The children went round the garden with the magnifying glasses and searched for insects and bugs. The children found lots of different bugs, they found a snail, worms, spiders, ants, and we even found a cocoon!
Playhouse
Activities Next Week – We will carry on thinking about people who help us. We will
be colour mixing and experimenting with colour change.
Warmer Weather & Being Sun Safe – Please could you bring in a named sun cream that can be left
at the Playhouse for your child. Sun cream needs UVA & UVB protection. It
is essential that sun cream is applied by you in the morning, and we will
re-apply at lunchtime. Please can you also provide a named sun hat. Thank you.
Holiday Plans & Change in Circumstances – Please remember to let us know if you are planning a holiday or just going away for a few days or if there are any changes to your family circumstances. This is to ensure that we can care for your child’s wellbeing and offer any support they need.
Change of Clothes – Please can you bring in a change of clothes for every session. We are running very low on spare clothes, and this is limiting the clothing available. If you have any playhouse clothing at home, please can you wash and return as soon as possible. Thank you.
Dates for your Diary – Here are details of key dates for your diary:
Thursday 18th May – Ark Farm visit to the Playhouse.
Saturday 17th June – Helpstonbury.
Reminder: Nut Free Setting – We are a nut free setting. Please can you ensure there are no ‘nut related’ items in packed lunches in case of any nut related allergies e.g. peanut butter. Many thanks.
Any help? – Please do not hesitate to speak to staff if you have any concerns or would just like a catch up, we are always available.
