Welcome back to the New term at Jack in the Box! A special
welcome to our new children who are gradually finding their feet.
We have a fun term planned including Chinese New Year and
Australia Day, so if you have anything from either country we could
borrow for displays, please let us know.
If you ever have any concerns about your child, please feel free to
speak to any of the team at any time.
ART BAGS - Please make sure you
bring in your child’s art bag each
session. Any lost bags will incur a
charge of £1.
If your family circumstances change
or anything happens at home that
could affect your child’s behaviour or
emotional state, please let us know.
It helps us greatly in working with
your child.
DONATIONS
These are always greatly received and
come in a variety of forms.
All donations are beneficial to your
child in many ways.
Old uniform - Any proceeds we make
from selling second hand uniform go
straight back to your child in the form
of resources and also help you get
cheaper uniform.
Snack/tissues/wipes—if you were all
able to donate these items once a term
it would help us HUGELY . Although most
of you get, or will get free funding from
the government, the money they give us
has not increased in over 4 years but like
you our grocery bill has, so any donations
will be very gratefully received.
This in turn will continue to help us to
buy more resources and keep activities
fresh and exciting for your children.
Lunch boxes:
Please make sure that you provide a
spoon for yoghurts.
Please remember to give your child a
drink. (not fizzy)
No Peanuts or sweets
No skewers. eg. chicken satay ( please
take the chicken off the stick)
Sickness/Diarrhoea
Please note that you must allow 48 hours
from the last time your child is sick or has
diarrhoea before they can come back to
playgroup.
Please try to teach your
child to have a go at
putting their coat on
themselves to encourage
their independence.
Please make sure that ALL children come to playgroup
with a coat and wellies and when appropriate, gloves
and hats. Please make sure they are all named.
All children also need to have a spare change of
clothing in a bag on their pegs.
We have now totally run out of our own spare clothing
as it has gone home with children and not been
returned.
If your child has had to be changed and has come home
in our clothes, PLEASE wash and return these clothes
to us ASAP.
If any of you do have any trousers, tops, socks or
pants that you could donate to our stock of clothes,
please bring them in. They would be much appreciated!
If we are inundated, please don’t be offended if we
can’t take them as we only have so much storage space!
