Healthy Eating Week and Great Big Green Week: W/C Monday 10th June We will be supporting ‘Healthy Eating Week’ from 10th-14th June, where we will be teaching the children about what foods keep us healthy and what foods we should not eat too much. Each of the rooms will be making their own healthy snacks and will have a chance to visit the nursery allotment and Oli’s allotment near the park to see where our food comes from! The Great Big Green Week is during the same week and is the UK’s biggest celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature. The children will therefore be learning all about how we can protect our planet, going on lots of walks in the local community, collecting litter and learning about saving our oceans! The Cygnets and Swans will also be doing some junk modelling using recycled materials, focusing on the importance of recycling and reuse

Parents Evening Parents are invited for a 10 minute parent consultation; this will be an opportunity to discuss your child’s progress and their next steps with their key person. There will be a Tapestry post in due course to book your time slot. If you would prefer a telephone call, please let us know and we can arrange this on another day. Wednesday 19th June, 6-7:30pm - Chicklets, Swans & Ducklings Wednesday 26th June, 6-7:30pm - Goslings and Cygnets

Eid Al Adha Celebrations: Monday 17th June The children will be learning the customs and traditions of Eid Al Adha. Muslims celebrate Eid Al-Adha on the last day of the Hajj. The children will also have the opportunity to take part in Eid-inspired activities such as making their own Eid Mubarak pictures consisting of stars and moons, as well as creating Henna Hands by copying some beautiful henna patterns. The older children will be able to make their own Eid Biscuits, using a range of traditional Asian spices.
