Acacia Pre-School
Spring 1 - 2021 Newsletter
We hope that you’ve had an enjoyable Christmas break! A warm welcome to our new children and their families who are joining us and welcome back to all our existing children and their families. We look forward to a new term doing lots of activities with all our Acacia children!
Thank you to everyone for all of your wonderful cards and gifts, which were all so greatly appreciated by all of the Acacia staff.
Learning Journeys: We hope that you have enjoyed looking at your child’s learning journey and seeing how they spend their time at Acacia. We hope that you’ve been able to add your own contribution too. Please can they be returned at the start of the new term, so that we can continue to add to them. Thank you.
Wow Moments: Please use our ‘Wow Moments’ tree to display anything that your child does at home, so that we can celebrate these moments with them too. We love to hear about all of the children’s amazing achievements!
Snack Café: Every morning we open our ‘Snack Café’. All children are given a choice of milk or water to drink & will be offered a wide range of healthy snacks. We will not be accepting food donations at present, due to Covid-19 transmission. However, there is no obligation, but we kindly ask parents to make a monetary donation to purchase snacks if possible. This can be done via bank transfer or through our PayPal account.
