Myland Preschool CIC We would like to wish all readers a Happy New Year! As usual we had a busy lead up to Christmas with lots of things going on! The week of 15th -19th November saw us dressing up in our Pudsey tops and raising £36.50 for Children in Need. We decorated a Christmas tree in St Michael’s Church on 24th November, ready for their Christmas tree festival and light service on the 28th November. Monday 6th to Friday 10th December saw us taking part in the Christmas Jumper Day, organised by Save the Children fund. Everyone looked good in their Christmas jumpers, dresses and headgear and tinsel and we raised £45 for Save the Children. Term finished on Wednesday 15th December with our Christmas party. The children played pass the parcel, musical statues and musical bumps, and then had a party lunch, which was followed by Olaf’s Frozen Adventure and then a visit from Father Christmas’s helper, who had a gift of a book for each child. We also said good luck to Becca as she left to start her maternity leave and we are pleased to say that baby boy, (no name yet), decided to make a slightly early entrance to the world on the 1st January 2022, weighing in at a healthy 7lb 11oz. Our congratulations to all the family. We returned to pre-school on Wednesday 5th January 2022 and have welcomed several new children to our midst. They are settling in well. We also welcomed Angela to our staff team. On Monday 21st March, we will be having a Bag2School collection, so if you are having a sort out and have any bags of clothing you would like to donate then please bring them along to preschool for 9am that day. Through this term we will be celebrating RSPB Birdwatch week, Burns Night, National storytelling week, Chinese New Year, Valentine’s day, St. David’s day, Shrove Tuesday, World book day, Science week, St. Patrick’s day and Mothering Sunday. We are looking forward to doing lots of activities linked in to them. We also look forward to trying some different snacks too such as haggis and pancakes and rice and noodles! Learning & Growing 33
