Welcome to our newsletter for July 2017.
June was an exciting month of summer for the children. They celebrated Butterfly Education and Awareness Day, Healthy Eating Week and the Summer Solstice. It was also Father’s Day, which saw the children using their craftsmanship by making ‘dad socks’ and special crowns.
In July, the children will be exploring many international holidays like Canada day and Independence Day, and the children will make maple leaf shapes and their own Statue of Liberty crowns in celebration.
Tour de France is taking place throughout most of July, and to celebrate the children will design their own Tour de France t-shirt posters and explore the different modes of transport. The children will be talking about the Tour de France during our French lesson, too, learning how to say words like ‘race’ and ‘bike’ in French.
To celebrate Teddy Bear Picnic Day, the children will be having a picnic tea on Monday 10th July 2017 with some of their nursery teddy bear friends.
We would like the children to bring their favourite teddy bear to nursery to join them for our garden picnic. We will be having a competition for the ‘best dressed bear’, ‘the smallest bear’, ‘the biggest bear’ and ‘the cutest bear’.
In 1955, Disneyland opened its gates to the public, bringing joy to children everywhere. To celebrate the anniversary of its opening, we would like the children and the team to come to nursery dressed as their favorite Disney character on Monday 17th July, 2017.
The children will be painting our favourite Disney characters, reading Disney story books and listening to our favourite Disney music.
To recognise all the sporting events taking place this month, such as Tour de France and Wimbledon, we will be holding our own mini Sports Day. The children will practice their tennis skills and will work in groups to win an egg and spoon race! This event will begin at 3.45pm – 4.30pm. If you would like to attend, please email your nursery to confirm your attendance by Friday 21st July 2017.
We would like to invite Parents/Carers to join us for our Bastille Day French tea party on Friday 14th July 2017, from 3.45pm – 4.45pm.
There will be a selection of French cuisine to enjoy, and the children will be making their own French paper dolls using cardboard toilet roll holders, materials and paints. If you would like to join the Bastille Day Tea Party, please email your nursery by Wednesday 5th July 2017 to confirm your attendance. If your child does not attend a session on this day they are welcome to join the party accompanied by an adult.
We would like to take a moment to thank all Parents/Carers for letting us know their preferred date for the Pre-School Academy’s Graduation Ceremony. The Ceremony will commence at 3.45pm with a performance from the Pre-Schoolers, followed by graduation and then a party. There is a maximum of 2 guests per child. Please confirm your attendance by Friday 14th July 2017.
