Hello e everyone.....

 

Hello Everyone,

The children have had a great week and are very much looking forward to Christmas.  They have loved making their christmas activities and really seem to be enjoying each other's company which is lovely to see.

At group times we have continued talking about Christmas and it is amazing how much the children can remember from last year! 

The children have enjoyed playing in the stable outside and we have also had a sing song out in the garden. 

We will be continuing with our Christmas activities and have many fun things planned for the children. We will continue with the  story focus of  Stickman as this is a lovely story for this time of year. We did not get around to doing much of this during last week. 

Please continue to bring in your lovely Wow’s so we can see what amazing achievements you have had at home.

This week we will continue to send home our play library. If you had one last week please bring it back when you are next in. Please see link for video for information about this. https://www.facebook.com/POWFS/videos/1039096813302955

Hello everyone.....

 

Hello Everyone,

The children had been having a great time at Preschool.  They loved playing in the Christmas sleigh and going shopping and wrapping presents. 

At group times the children loved listening to Christmas stories and asking lots of questions about the coming events over the next couple of weeks. 

The children were great at the pantomime on Thursday morning and they all had a great time with lots of laughing and interaction. 

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

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.

ParentLine is not an emergency service, for urgent medical attention contact your GP, 111 or 999.

Here’s to another great week of learning together!
