T
he summer term was very busy at Playgroup. In May it was a beautiful sunny day for our outing to Knockhatch during which time we all met up for lunch and enjoyed our picnic together. June’s Sports Day and BBQ went well when the children enjoyed the races and were very proud to receive a certificate and medal. ‘Giant Snails’ came to stay for a week and the children helped to look after them, a guinea pig came for the day too. Girls and boys starting Westfield School this September loved their visits to the reception class and also spending time with their new teachers. They also had a fantastic time at our Leaver’s Party at the end of term, especially the bouncy castle. I wish the children and their families all the best for the future, they will be missed. During July our visitors included a duckling who had an adopted chicken for its mummy plus another chicken with her chicks; Police Officer Sharon gave a ‘Staying Safe’ talk and we were able to try on different police hats and explore the police jeep; and a Paramedic and his Ambulance which the children really enjoyed, you probably heard the sirens. I say a big thank you to my staff and the committee for all the hard work that is put into our Playgroup. We have Playgroup spaces if you are interested you are welcome to drop in at any time; please see above for our opening times or for more information contact Julie on 07790 744404 or email or check out our website (details above). Also we now have a facebook page.
Westfield Parent & Toddler Group We would love to see some new faces at our sessions in September. Recently we have been very quiet and cuts to our meetings considered. Do please come and join our friendly group particularly if you are thinking of bringing your child to Playgroup, it will help them settle quicker as they will already be familiar to the hall and some staff. We offer a wide range of activities, snack time and sing songs at the end of the session. We are open every Friday during termtime 1.15 - 3 pm, apart from Community Lunch Day, the 3rd Friday of the month. Pop in or phone for more information Julie 0779 0744404 The health visitor holds a clinic in the back room of the parish hall on the first Friday of the month, term time only
