WELCOME back to Kate Greenaway, and a warm welcome also to all new parents and carers. KG Express comes out every Monday, and you can also read it on our blog www.kategreenaway.blogspot.com. On the back of this sheet are the key dates for the rest of the school year. This term, we also welcome Kara to the Community Services team. Sarah and Maggi are now working in Baby Nest, with Stacey on maternity leave.
The children learn about science and the natural world through meaningful and exciting experiences. We are having a Science fortnight to extend the children’s interests in water play, the weather, materials, how things work, and what happens when I do this……?
As part of our focus we are also going to visit the Science Museum. There are three visits booked so children can go in small groups with their key person. We will need about 4 parents per visit to help us although we are very happy to take more parents along. Please look out for information and speak to your key person if you would like to come with us. Michele
News from the Community Services
We have started the year with a new programme of ‘stay and play’ groups which run every morning from 10-12 and are open to everyone with a child aged 0-5. On Thursdays our theme is ‘being a parent’. Drop in (with or without your child!) to find our more about common issues that face parents such as tantrums, sleep and eating problems, toilet training and much more. We also have all sorts of information about child development and ideas for activities to try at home.
News from the nursery
We listen and talk to children throughout the whole nursery session, and at key group time we put a special focus on communication. Please don’t come through to collect your child until 11.45am or 3.30pm – if you collect your child early or go into nursery, the children get distracted. If you need to pick an older child up from school, then please could you come at 3pm before the group starts?
