Hello everyone.....

 

Hello Everyone,

The children had a really fun week.  We played lots of counting and did lots of counting in the outside environment. They also played in the role play area where they went shopping and used the purses and some real coins. 

At group times the children loved the ‘instruments’ and we played follow the leader and took it in turns to play a tune for everyone to copy.

Over the weekend the Pre-School has been decorated and we can’t wait to see how the children enjoy all the surprises we have in store. 

We will be starting our Christmas activities and have many fun things planned for the children.

Please continue to bring in your 

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

Can you talk about colours when you are out and about. Playing colour spotting is a great way of seeing how many different colours your child can recognise.

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.

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

 

Zoe and Chloe
