Hello everyone...

 

Hello Everyone,

The children have had a great week. They have been exploring the garden area and trying out many new challenges which is great to see.

We have done some mixing colour activities and made simple predictions about what may happen.

At group times the children have loved the ‘Tappy sticks’ and have followed instructions well such as loud, soft, start and stop. We also had a turn at being the leader with this activity.

This week we will be doing some counting activities and developing these skills further. We have lots of fun things planned and I’m sure the children are going to enjoy it.

Next weekend we will be transforming the Pre-School into Christmas for the children which I’m sure they are going to love!

Please continue to bring in your 

lovely Wow’s so we can see what amazing achievements you have had at home.

Home Learning

When you are out and about this week can your child recognise any numbers in the environment such as: door numbers, numbers on postboxes, car registrations, prices of items in a shop. If you have any cash it's great to show your children and get them interested in counting coins and looking at them. Numbers are all around us and we like to make it as fun as possible!

We are looking forward to a great week together. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

Please find information below about a useful advice line for parents and carers of 0-5years.

ParentLine is a new confidential text messaging service for parents and carers of 0-5 year olds in Dorset to seek advice via text message from our Health Visiting team about their child’s health. 

Parents and carers can seek advice about a range of issues such as breastfeeding, bottle feeding, weaning, sleep, toileting, minor illness, behaviour, parenting and more.

ParentLine will run 9am - 5pm, Monday to Friday (excluding weekends and bank holidays) with a ParentLine Practitioner responding to messages within one working day. If a text is sent outside these hours the parent/carer will receive an automated message with advice on where to get help if they require it urgently. This new messaging service is being provided in addition to the current Health Visiting service offer.
Text 07312 277162 for confidential advice and support from a member of the Health Visiting team
ParentLine is not an emergency service, for urgent medical attention contact your GP, 111 or 999.
