Dear Parents and Carers,

We have a really busy time over the next 2 weeks in school with World Book Day, Mother’s Day event, school trips and parent / teacher reviews. Below you will find all of the information you need about these events including times and dates for FS1 and FS2 activities.

Thursday 7^th March – World book day

• Children to dress up as their favourite character from a story.

Friday 8^th March – Mother’s Day event in foundation stage which any family member can attend:

• FS1 Morning only children – 10:45am to 11:30am
• FS2 (both classes) + Afternoon nursery children + 30 hours nursery children - 2:30pm to 3:15pm
• Please note that access for this event is via the nursery gate only and only the gate from the Bondfield/Wells Lane side of school will be open

Monday 11^th March – FS2 trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park

• Children need to come to school prompt in their school uniform with a warm coat.
• Shoes do not have to be school shoes and can be something more comfortable to walk a long distance in such as trainers (we will be on our feet for most of the day).
• Children must have a backpack with them that they can carry independently, this is for their lunch and a drink to go into.
• If the weather is rainy then we will be taking the wetsuits from school with us to ensure the children stay dry throughout the day.
• This trip is definitely going ahead and the children should be back in time for normal home times.
• We will not be going in the shop so the children do not need to bring any money with them.

Tuesday 12^th March – FS1 trip to Cannon Hall Farm

• Children need to come to school promptly in their school uniform with a warm coat and with the adult that is attending with them.
• Shoes do not have to be school shoes and can be something more comfortable to walk a long distance in such as trainers (we will be on our feet for most of the day).
• Children and adults will need to bring a packed lunch, there is an area for us to eat our own lunches. We will not be going to the café.
• Although there are indoor areas, part of the farm is outside so please ensure you and your child are prepared in case there is wet weather.
• Although parents are attending on this trip we will be staying together as a group with the Nursery Staff.
• This trip is definitely going ahead and the children should be back in time for normal home times.
• We will not be going in the shop so the children do not need to bring any money with them.
