The Wednesday afternoon activity this term is cold cookery and we are conscious of the legislation regarding allergens. We are aware of children’s allergies listed on their medical forms which you will have completed at the time your children joined us but will keep packaging and a list of ingredients used for your information if you require it. On Wednesday 16 January we will be making fruit salads with the children using a variety of fruits and developing our knowledge of these and cutting skills.

Reminders

Please remember that we are a nut and kiwi free environment and grapes / small circular shaped foods should be cut into 4 to reduce the risk of choking.

With the cold weather please send your child in wearing suitable clothing as we will be playing outside most days. Mittens are better than gloves unless your child is able to put them on without adult assistance and all clothing needs to be named.
