Weekly Bulletin – 28 March 2018

Dear Parents,

I can’t believe we are coming to the end of what has been another busy but exciting term. Hopefully Spring is around the corner and we all wish you a very Happy Easter holiday. Thank you to everyone for coming to enjoy the Eggstavaganza with us, there are some lovely photos of the event on the plasma screen in the entrance.

Reminders for the coming term…

• • HOLIDAY CLUB is running from the 9^th -13^th April…Please see attached leaflet for all the exciting activities that the children will be doing.
  • Monday 16^th April – is the start of the Summer Term for us.

• STAFF – The end of this term sees us saying goodbye to many of our Family work team as they move across to work in their new roles for the County Council or onto other exciting futures. We wish Claire Brackley, Rachel Currie, Cheryl Farrell , Katie Welham and Veronica Spiers all the very best for the future. Suzy Hughes is returning to working more hours for us in the Office and Alison Brazier is rather excitingly having a bit of a career change as she becomes a nanny to a family in her village. Thank you to them all for all their hard work for our Children’s Centre. Lorraine Lindsay, who works as a Lunchtime supervisor, is also leaving us to have a baby and start her new life with her family in London.

  • MESSY PLAY – Even though we are losing our children’s centre we will continue to run Messy Play here on a Tuesday morning 9.15-10.45 from the start of the Summer Term. Please tell all your friends that this group will be continuing on a term time only basis. Suzy Hughes in the office is going to run the group for us. Thank you to the parent volunteers who have offered to help her. If you would like to help run the group please let Suzy know.
  • FRIDAY FRIENDS will be stopping for the Summer Term but we are hoping to run a music group, or similar, from September 2018. Again if anyone is able to help with running a music group please speak to Suzy.
