Exciting Christmas times!

What a wonderful night we had at the Christmas Concert last Friday! The children were fantastic and we are so proud of all of them. For children aged only 2 and a half to just 4 years old, they did amazingly.






  
The concert was also a successful fundraising event for us, and we raised around £1,100. All the money we raise through fundraising goes directly towards improving the facilities we can offer to the children, and we are so grateful for the support of all our parents and other family members who make this possible.

Some more exciting news - we applied for a grant from Oberthur, a company who have a base in Tewkesbury, and our application was successful. We received a cheque for £2500 this week, which will be used for the next phase of development of the inside of the building, and also to purchase a touch screen computer.

And lastly, we entered a Christmas e-card competition run by PATA (a Gloucestershire-based pre-school alliance), using a card made by our children, and we won! Jenny Miles from PATA has been to visit us to deliver our winners certificate and some new books. Here is the winning card:


Wishing all our children and their families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing you all again in 2015!

Feeling Festive!

We have been getting into the Christmas spirit at Pre-School, and have started trying on costumes and practicing songs ready for our Christmas Concert on 12th December.

We have also been doing some Christmas crafts.



We'll be bringing them home to show you at the end of term!
