Goodbye Miss Mackenzie
Miss Mackenzie, one of our Nursery Teaching Assistants, is leaving us on Friday 26th November to start a new job.
She has worked in Nursery for four years and has been an invaluable part of the team. We thank her for all her hard work.
I am sure you join us in wishing her all the best for the future.
Community Ambassador News
Our wonderful Community Ambassadors are taking on a new role as ‘Playground Patrol’ to help keep our playground a happy place.
If during playtime a child finds that they need someone to play with or are struggling to find a friend then they can find a Community Ambassador to help.
The Community Ambassadors will either play with them, help them to find someone to play with or help find a grown up.
The Ambassadors will wear a GREEN lanyard so you can spot them on the playground.
As part of our partnership with St Raphael’s Hospice we would love the children to make Christmas Cards, at home, to send to the residents there.
The theme for the cards this year is ‘Lights’.
Please post your finished cards in the Red Post Box in Reception by Friday 10th December.
We hope you have as much enjoyment from making them as the residents will get from receiving them.
We cannot wait to see the wonderful designs you come up with!
The Community Ambassador Team
