Hello

Good afternoon everyone ,

I hope you're all enjoying the lovely sunshine as much as we are today ! The buttercups went for a little visit to the park this morning , and the snowdrops and bluebells are just setting off for a walk around the village just know . The sunflowers will also be outside later on , but at the moment are enjoying the return of our French teacher Catherine , having a lot of fun while they learn some french !

Dont forget our Ladies Evening on Thursday 29th September 6:30 to 8pm - tickets for this have been issued so please pay asap , or return the tickets if you are not able to join us . We have several stalls  organised which should give you a head start on the winter festival shopping(sorry to mention that!) , so please come along and bring a friend to join us for a glass of wine , and the opportunity to meet the other parents too.

The snowdrops and bluebells have introduced a new musical item into their routines. They will be learning 4 new songs each month - you will be given a copy of the lyrics so you can sing them at home too...the staff will be happy  to sing them for you if you're not familiar with them! Who needs X Factor!!!

The sunflowers have  a new notice at the entrance to their classroom called Ask me about ..... this tells you some information on what the children have been discussing that week so you can talk about it at home,and Our next learning experience....will give you an idea of what they'll be looking at next - please check these regularly as they can change quite quickly to reflect the children's interests .

Dont forget also to check your child's wall file each time they are here , or you may miss a masterpiece or invitation !

A reminder : if someone other then you is picking up your child , please let the staff know on the day or call/email us to let us know . Of course you don't need to do this if you have a regular arrangement that we know about, but if anyone who doesn't normally  pick up - please let us know - thank you .

Sadly , after two years with the buttercups , Debbie will be leaving us. We shall all miss her and wish her all the best for the future(Debbie's last day will be Friday 23rd September) . The schoolhouse will soon be joined by Roz Vickery(nursery assistant) . Roz has recently moved to Aberdeen , has previous nursery experience and is very much looking forward to getting to know you all .

And finally , the nursery will be closed on Monday 26th September for the local holiday .
