Dear Parents and Carers of our Worcester Park and Kingston Nurseries,
First off, we would like to thank all the Parents and Carers who donated money for our Children in Need fundraising Pyjama event on Friday 16th November, 2017. It was lovely to see so many of the children and team in their pyjamas!
In the end, we raised a total £75.00.
The children have enjoyed being creative throughout November, creating sparkly firework paintings and making fantastic poppies which we made into a wreathe. The children also enjoyed learning about thanksgiving and St Andrew’s Day.
As we enter into the festive month of December the children will take part in exciting Christmas activities. They will also be celebrating Saint Nicholas’ Day, Hanukkah and the Winter Solstice and – of course – we will enjoy ‘Christmas Jumper Day’ to raise money for the charity ‘Save the Children’.
To celebrate Hanukkah the children will be making their own menorah candles using fabrics, birthday candles and handprints. They will also be making their own ‘wish stars’.
They will be making 'Wish Lists' to send to Father Christmas through our magical North Pole post box, getting messy creating 'Tip Toe' and 'Thumb' Christmas tree cards, exploring with 'snow dough' and making salt dough decorations to put on their Christmas tree. We will also be making our own stockings and 'Santa stop here' door hangers for the children to place on their bedroom doors on Christmas Eve for Father Christmas!
We will be making our own nativity scene and looking at the story of baby Jesus. There will be lots of Christmas cheer, glitter and excitement over December.
Please speak to your Nursery Manager for further information on the party venue. We are looking forward to seeing you all there!
The lost property box will be left out in the childcare rooms each evening over December. Please check the lost property box to retrieve any of your child’s/children’s clothes or items. Please can we also ask parents to check their children’s bags and clothes for any items that do not belong to them and return them to your Room Leader.
We close for the Christmas break on Friday 22nd December, 2017 at 4.00pm.
We re-open for the New Year on Tuesday 2nd January, 2018 at 7.30am.
We hope you enjoy the Christmas holidays, and we look forward to seeing you all in the New Year!
