World Book Day

A little reminder from Miss Leutchford (our Year 1 teacher and English Coordinator)

“Next Thursday (5th March 2020) we will be celebrating World Book Day. The children are invited to come to school dressed as a character from their favourite book.  If the children choose to come into school dressed as a character, we are asking them to provide a £1.00 donation to go towards the charity Book Aid. We look forward to seeing all of the different story characters”.

Please remember, dressing up is always optional as we understand that it is not for everyone.  Coming to Nursery in your usual, everyday clothes is also absolutely fine!

We will be holding an open afternoon at Little Acorns this coming Wednesday afternoon (12th June) for anyone who might be interested in finding out more about the 30-hours provision we now offer at St. Matthew’s.

Please feel free to share this information with friends who might be looking for a full-day Nursery place from September 2019.

And we would be grateful if you could email the school office if you are planning to attend the open afternoon so that we have an idea of numbers.

Thank you!

Dates for your diary

The last day of term for Nursery will be Tuesday 18th December. Children in Nursery break up a little earlier than the rest of the school so we can hold an Open morning for the new children starting in January.

The first day back for the children will be Thursday 10th January. Again, we start back a little later than the rest of the school so that we can carry out home visits for the new children.

Thank you for your support & understanding.
