World book day

We have all had a lovely morning dressing up, see photo album for photos

World Book Day

**WORLD BOOK DAY 2nd MARCH**

My apologies for the short notice, what with being closed last Friday the letters about world book day didn't get out to parents.

This Thursday is world book day, staff will be dressing up as characters from a well known fairy tale...we will leave which one as a surprise to you.

It would be lovely to see as many children as possible dress up as one of their favourite book characters too, we are doing it just for fun so they do not need to bring any money in.

We don't expect you to go out and buy expensive costumes, home made ones will do just fine and are lots of fun to make too.

Again sorry for the short notice.

Closure due to storm

****IMPORTANT INFORMATION****

Due to the storm we are having to close tomorrow Friday 24th 2017. The storm has caused the outdoor shelter in the playground to collapse making that area unsafe. Although the playroom is undamaged in the case of an emergency we would have no safe exit from the playroom to outside to get the children to safety. Therefore in the interest of the children's wellbeing and safety I have had no choice but to make the decision to close. We will keep you updated on the situation. I am in the process of texting all parents to let them know but in the meantime if you know anyone that attends preschool please share this information with them.

Christmas Party

So Wednesday is party day. Yayyyyy!!!! The party is for preschool children only but we can't wait for parents/carers to come back 10 minutes before the end of session to hear the children sing a few Christmas songs that they have been practicing with such enthusiasm. Party is Christmas/festive dress up, for staff too, so no uniform is required. Lots of fun to be had along with a visit from our special friend Father Christmas ����

Christmas jumpers/festive tops

We have decided that rather than having a specific day for Christmas jumpers this year that children can wear their Christmas jumpers/festive tops whenever they like over the next two weeks. We are doing it for fun and to be festive not to raise money. Thanks

2'minutes silence

So proud of all our children who sat for 2 minutes silence at 11am this morning, they all did really well. We listened to the clock chime at 11am on the radio and then sat quietly. Well done!

Photographer

31st October we have the photographer in, if it is not your child's usually day you are welcome to pop in with them to have their photo taken, please let us know if you plan to come in so we can check the photographer is still here

Teddy bears

This week we continue with our bear week, if your child would like to bring in their bear that would be lovely, but please remember to write your child's name in their label as we would hate for any bears to go missing whilst exploring the playroom

Thank you

On behalf of all the staff at rush green preschool we would like to say a massive thank you for all the lovely cards and gifts we have received this year. Enjoy the summer everyone, good luck to those leaving to start new nurseries/schools, we will miss you all, and to those staying we look forward to more fun in September when we have some new families joining us

23rd June closure

Just to remind parents that we are closed tomorrow, 23rd June, as community centre is used as a polling station for the referendum. Thanks

Mother's Day

These photos were provided by one of our parents of the beautiful flower that has grown from the bulb that her little girl brought home in a decorated pot for Mother's Day. Thank you for the photos

Update

We plan to re open tomorrow 25th may 2016, any changes to this and we will notify parents as well as posting updates on here. Thank you for your understanding
