We

beasts. We welcome 8 new children for this summer term who are settling in
really well. And we continue to prepare our older children for there start at
school in September, with lots of transition activities. The older children will
also be working on letter sounds and our sponsored mini Olympics on Wednesday
the 25th of May.
We have several fundraising events planned for the summer including, an adults only school disco, we will have a float at the carnival and a stall at the schools community day, we also look forward to the village's transport day. And we finish the term with a Funday on the last day of term.
A gentle reminder that we have an unwanted clothes bin in The Spread Eagle car park, this makes us some extra cash and we would appreciate as many of your old clothes as possible.
We are ended our
year on a high with a fabulous performance from all the children and staff at
our annual nativity play. As well as being a great occasion we raised £173 for
Pre-School.
This half term we are looking at People who help us with the children, we have a hospital role-play inside for the children to dress up and take on different roles. Each week we will be looking at different jobs people do in the community to help us all.
We are also going to start looking at a maths program called Ten Town over this next term. This is something we did last year for the first time with huge success.
Each week we will focus on a number and its character. This is to support all the children’s number recognition and how to implement that knowledge. We will be celebrating Chinese New Year tasting different food, listening to music from around the world and making our own musical instruments.
We are now full for the summer term but are taking admission forms for September 2016 and beyond.
Our committee have several fundraising events and will have some dates for your diaries in the next edition of the Rollestonian. The events will include the favourites of Chocolate Bingo and Halloween disco, and some new events yet to be finalised.
Please remember we have a charity clothing bin in the Spread Eagle car park, this generates a good amount of money for Pre- School, so if you are having a sort out please think of us.
