Little Villagers Winter Newsletter
Well Christmas is fast approaching us already, Can you believe it!!! And what an exciting time it
is for us all, especially the children, im sure Santa has been receiving his
lists already.
Little Villagers are also in for an exciting few weeks; we
have booked the Panto at the Kings theatre in Edinburghon Friday the 7th of December to see
Mother Goose, Oh yes we are................ There will be a online booking form
coming out shortly and parents will be sent a group text asking them to complete
the form if they wish their child/children to attend, this must be completed as
your child/children won’t be given a space.
Other exciting news is we have
now spent the money issued to us from our Royal Bank of Scotlandaward,
this money was spent on Media equipment, including video camera, Camera, tripods
and animation software so the children can get creative and make their very own
movies. We did try this out over the October Holiday club, and the children
seemed to really enjoy it, we are hoping to upload some of their movies onto our
website for you to see, again as it is pictures of the children, permission
slips will be given out to the parents to sign before these videos are
published, and again like the photographs we publish these will be password
protected.
As you are all aware we have had a few staff changes in Little
Villagers, Mary will not be returning to Little Villagers, but we wish her well
for the future. We have also welcomed Kayleigh on board; Kayleigh has worked
with Springfield
Afterschool club for the
past 2 years, and has completed the relevant qualifications in Playwork.
Kayleigh has settled in well and the children are enjoying spending time with
her.
We have recently held our AGM, and are looking for new committee members
to join us, if you are interested and can spare a two of hours once a month
