We would like parents to donate £1, all donations will be gratefully received.

We will also be holding a cake stall in each reception area so feel free to bring in some of your creations for us to sell to other parents and staff to raise money for this good cause.

Kids Klub Productions

This week we have Kids Klub Productions in the Nursery. The children got all wrapped up in their coats, hats and scarfs and sat in Santa's Sleigh. On their sleigh ride they met some friendly characters, had a snowball fight, flew with Rudolph and had lots of fun. The preview DVD is available straight away for you to take home and watch with your family, if you would like to purchase a copy simply return it in the envelope, mark what you would like to order and enclose the payment - cheques are payable to 'Kids Klub'.
If you decide not to order a copy please return the DVD in the envelope.

We hope you enjoy watching your child on their Christmas Adventure.

The children got creative with Isub education

Kerrie and Paul Marks run a company in Burton Latimer that sells specialist printing systems to schools. They thought it might be interesting having a fun day at the Nursery making some products with the children, they made jigsaw puzzles, money boxes and Frisbee's with many other items that could be created like t shirts, keyrings, mugs, canvas prints etc..

The children had a lovely time and are very proud of their creations, if you would like to know more about their company you can visit their website at www.isub-education.co.uk or call them on 0121 288 9898.
