| Summer term topics: |
|
| This term our topic theme is first 'mini-beasts' then followed by 'under-the-sea'. We are going to observe the life cycle of frogs in our mini pond and are also caring for African snails, our recent addition to the pre-school! |
|
| We have booked a visit from Ameys Zoo on tuesday the 23rd of June and we would appreciate a £2 donation per child for this activity and the pre-school have agreed to fund the rest of the cost. See their web site for more details on what to expect |
|
| Parents of children who do not attend that day are welcome to bring their children in for the visit (10am) but need to stay with them. |
| Big Thanks! |
| Thank you to those who attended/contributed towards the Easter coffee morning. £68 was raised and we have purchased a camera for the Pre-School! |
|
|
 |
| Don't forget - we are a charity, so any help you can give goes towards educating your children. |

| Do you have an old computer gathering dust? |
|
| The desktop computer that the children currently use at the pre-school has reached its life span and therefore we currently do not have one for them to use. If anyone happens to be upgrading or knows anyone who wishes to get rid of an old working computer we would be very grateful for the donation of this item. |
| |
|
|
| Do you have a few spare hours a month? |
|
| The Preschool is a charity, run by Ruth and the preschool committee which is made up of parents but can include external people as well. We are currently looking for new members to help us make the preschool the best possible place for the children. We meet as a committee once every 6-8 weeks. If you think this is something that you would be interested in or you would like to find out more please speak to Ruth or fill out the online form and she will point out the committee members to you. Our next meeting is the 19th May so why not come and see what we do. |
|
| We are also looking for a Chairperson for the Committee. Any parents who would like an active role in the day to day running of the school or anyone who would simply like to enhance their CV please email andy@apsleylockpreschool.co.uk |
