NURSERY PLAY & CHAT MORNING – Thursday 24 May
Nursery parents are welcome to come along between 9.30 – 11.30am to join their children in the Nursery and to chat to the Nursery staff.
ROAD SAFETY TRAINING
As part of the curriculum we will be doing a number of activities in class (and in some cases around the town) to raise children’s knowledge and understanding of road safety over the next few weeks.
Our aim is to make the children more aware of the dangers on the roads and to make them more confident when out and about. The emphasis will be on using the Green Cross Code to stay safe, always crossing with an adult (holding hands for the younger children), looking all around and waiting until it is safe to cross. There are some parent booklets for children in Foundation, KS1 and Year 6 which will be distributed when the training takes place.
Classes LC, CA & JC will need parent helpers to assist with a ‘Traffic Trail’ around Framlingham – if you would like to help please speak to the class teachers to find out days / times.
Any help you can give reinforcing road safety messages to you children will help them become safer pedestrians. Thank you.
CORRECTION – MERE VISITS – Classes KT, EM, LC & CA
On the letters sent last week it mistakenly stated the trips to the Mere were being run by the Woodland Trust, when in fact it is the SUFFOLK WILDLIFE TRUST to whom we are most grateful for their support in educating the children about the nature around the Mere.
IF YOU ARE ABLE TO, PLEASE VOLUNTEER TO HELP WITH ACTIVITIES LIKE THE VISIT TO THE MERE, ROAD SAFETY OR SWIMMING

EXTRA LEARNING EXPERIENCES WITH THE CHILDREN. THANK YOU.
