March saw the children doing some great activities. As the sun finally started to shine, they planted some sweet pea seeds to take home and nurture. Themed weeks have been centred around colours where they brought in show and tell items in yellow, green, red, blue, purple and pink and produced some colourful artwork. Thanks also to The Bliss School for inviting the Monday Preschool children to a fabulous performance of Joseph, the children really enjoyed it a big well done to the performers.

How can you help our Pre-School?
Helping hands – where those in the community and parents/grandparents/carers/family and friends are welcomed into our setting to help with everything from arts and crafts, gardening, music, reading. No horrid jobs we promise – just lots of fun and very rewarding. We are always looking for volunteers to help in the setting and with our fundraising efforts. Our Preschool is a charity and couldn’t function without help from parents and those in our community so if you have any spare time and feel you would like to help, please contact Sophie Jones on 07984055828 or drop in and introduce yourself.
We are now collecting Sainsburys Active Kids vouchers and Tesco Schools vouchers. When you’re offered these at the till please say yes and pass these onto the Preschool. We can convert them into much needed equipment for our setting.
As always, freepost envelopes are available in the foyer for recycling ink cartridges & mobile phones.
If you shop online, you can do so through www.easyfundraising.org.uk – stores such as John Lewis, Amazon andArgos donate a percentage of the sale to a chosen charity – simply selectNetherHeyfordPre-School.
