OUTDOOR
IMPROVEMENTS
At
pre-school we are always looking at ways in which we can improve the service we
offer all of our parents and most importantly the children.
Research
has proved the importance of good outdoor play in children’s development and we
have over recent years made great strides in improving out outdoor area. We have installed alphabet and number boards
along with blackboards and weaving frames, we have transformed the original
raised beds into a sensory garden and an amazing sandpit and now we want to go
even further.
We
want to be able to provide a canopy so that children have somewhere they can
sit and play in the shade. We also want
a permanent climbing and imaginative play area and this will be in the form of
a pirate ship!
These
improvements are going to cost around £3500!!! So we need to get fundraising
NOW!
Our
aim is to install the pirate ship sometime during mid-February so that we can
make full use of it as the weather gets warmer (hopefully!). This means having to pay upfront and trust
that we can raise the necessary money before the end of our financial year in
July. We have already made £1000 profit
from our Christmas Fair plus small amounts from the photo morning, cake sale
and Christmas card project so we are about a third of the way there.
Please
see over for an idea of what the pirate ship will look like – we are all very
excited!!!
So
what can YOU do to help? Do you have any
ideas for fundraising activities? Are you prepared to organise an
event/activity? Do you know anyone or any businesses that may be willing to
donate or have grants that we can apply for?
Please
speak to Jayne if you have any ideas or can help in any way.
Thank
You!
