The Chronicle

It is with great pleasure that the Chronicle team welcomes our Stay 'n' Play families and carers to the new look Chronicle. Each week this section will include (when appropriate) news, information and insight into all the 'goings-on' with Stay 'n' Play.

Stay 'n' Play is 10.00am - 11.30am on Wednesdays in term-time, mostly within the Nursery, although there is a fabulous programme of visiting activities when we make the most of the school hall.

Monday Group: Further Details

The Monday group continues to meet in term-time from 10.00am - 11.15am at St Francis Church hall in Kenilworth.

We love to see familiar faces and new friends at both groups and hope that you can join us. Children are welcome from 0 to 4 years old.

What a lovely busy week we have had. The ‘Pirate and Princess’ theme proved very popular; although the poor princesses didn’t really get a look in with all the exciting pirate fun going on, so with this in mind we are getting more ‘princessy’ next week. Our story will be 'The Princess and the Pea' and Nursery staff are quite sure that they will be wriggling around all week!

Miss Gail and Miss Emma enjoyed playing pirates, as they helped the children to make ‘pirate punch’ on Wednesday. It tasted fabulous, and thankfully the rum was substituted with wiggly fizzy worms!

They also wrote messages to put in bottles, decorated treasure maps, made pirate hats and spent an awful lot of time shouting “oooArgghhhh!” in their best pirate voices. Some of the children in the big room have played games with the pirate pictures, listening to the sounds in the words and matching the sounds to the pictures, and everyone loved finding and counting their coins in the sand ‘treasure’ tray! 

We do hope you have a fabulous weekend, and if you are out and about please could you take a photo of your autumn fun as the weather starts to change. We will be starting an Autumn display soon and would love to include your adventures.  Likewise, if you do something amazing, send in a picture for our ‘Wow Wall’. Well done to Swaran who is the first on the board, sharing pictures of the fun he had making cakes at home with Mummy.
