Spring is in the air...

This week is all about spring and as the weather is getting better, we will be looking for signs of spring in our garden, whilst creating some beautiful works of art. We'll be dancing to music using our ribbons on sticks, so if you'd like to pop in and join us, please do.

Staff Update
As you know, we welcomed a new member of staff to pre-school last week on a trial basis. Unfortunately, her trial proved to be unsuccessful so she will not be joining us after all. We are delighted to announce though, that we have found a wonderful new teacher to join our team. Miss Paula Gomez will be taking on the role of Early Years Inclusion Co-ordinator (full time) alongside Miss Daniel's part time Co-ordinator role. Miss Gomez brings with her experience of working with all age ranges of children, a knowledge of languages (her speciality) the ability to play musical instruments and the love of the outdoors. If that wasn't enough, she has Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)!

We feel extremely lucky to have found Miss Gomez and feel she will be a great asset to our team. Please say hello when you see her, as it is always daunting starting a new job!

Miss Daniels is nearly leaving us to have her baby. She really doesn't want to go and is hanging on to the bitter end! Her last working day will be Tuesday 10th May. If anyone would like to contribute to a parting gift and sign her card, please pop in to see Mrs Shaw. Miss Daniels will hopefully be returning to work in Jan/Feb 2017 but knowing Miss Daniels, she'll probably be back sooner!

REMINDER

PRE-SCHOOL WILL BE CLOSED ON THURSDAY 5TH MAY FOR ELECTIONS
