P1 MAGIC Graduation Party
28th April 2017
This year we have 22 very grown up boys and girls who will be leaving us at the end of the Summer (or before) to start the next exciting part of their lives in P1! As a special treat, they have decided that they would like to plan a graduation party to celebrate. They have already booked a magician and are planning, organising, preparing and shopping for their special party. The party will take place during the evening of Tuesday 27th June from 6-7.30pm. Parents are invited to attend from 7pm to see your children receive their graduation certificate. Any boys and girls who do not usually attend nursery on a Tuesday, are more than welcome to come along to celebrate! Look out for your invitations which will be handed out soon!

Many thanks to all of those parents who attended our recent progress meetings with staff. These proved to be extremely useful for both parents and staff. Similar meetings will be held annually and twice yearly for our pre-school children. Please remember that you don’t have to wait until parent’s night, you can request a meeting any time. We have an open door policy and are happy to meet with you at your convenience. Look out for our stay and play days in May also (dates to be advised).
