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 14th – 18th November saw us dressing up in our Pudsey tops and raising £20.08 for Children in Need. We decorated a Christmas tree in St Michael’s Church on 25th November ready for their Christmas tree festival and light service on the 27th November. Monday 5th to Friday 9th December saw us taking part in the Christmas Jumper Day organised by Save the Children fund. Everyone looked good in their Christmas jumpers, dresses, headgear and tinsel, and we raised £37 for Save the Children. Term finished on Friday 16th December with our Christmas party. The children played musical statues, musical bumps and pass the parcel. We then had a party lunch, followed by Stick Man on DVD and a visit from Father Christmas’s helper, who had a gift of a book for each child. We let the parents in and we sang and signed some Christmas songs. We congratulated Claire at the end of our Christmas party as she has completed 21 years service at the preschool! She was presented with an Olivia Burton watch, bracelet and a bouquet of flowers, along with a card and certificate. Well done Claire and thank you for all your years of service – here’s to many more! We returned to pre-school on Monday 9th January 2023 and have welcomed a few new children to our midst, who are settling in well. Through this term we will be celebrating Burns Night, National Storytelling Week, Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day, St. David’s Day, Shrove Tuesday, Commonwealth Day, World Book Day, Red Nose Day, St. Patrick’s Day and Mothering Sunday, and look forward to doing lots of activities linked in to them. We also look forward to trying some different snacks too, such as haggis, neeps and tatties! Learning & Growing 29
