December 2015 newsletter

Dear parents and carers,

Please see attached our December 2015 newsletter.  If you would like a paper copy, please let us know.

We are excited to announce our collaboration with the National Maritime Museum (more details in the newsletter).
As a result we propose a two day holiday club during February half term to tie in with this collaboration.  The days will be full of fun activities at the National Maritime Museum on various themes such as Polar Exploration, Pacific Ocean, Pirates and Things that get washed on the shore.  We will follow our usual routine starting at 8am for breakfast, or at 9am at The Bridge, we will spend time at the National Maritime Museum and in Greenwich Park from 9am to 3pm, then we will return to The Bridge at 3pm for arts and crafts, sports and free play inside and outside until 6pm.  The price for the day is £35 from 9am or £40 from 8am.
February half term runs from Monday 15 to Friday 19 February 2016.  If you are interested in your child attending the holiday club, we would like to give you the opportunity to choose which two days would be best for you and your child and we will try to meet your requirements as closely as possible.  The sooner we have your response the better!
Please reply to this email by saying which two days you would prefer out of the following (it might be wise to have a backup couple of days also):
Monday 15 February 2016
Tuesday 16 February 2016
Wednesday 17 February 2016
Thursday 18 February 2016
Friday 19 February 2016.
Wishing you a very happy Christmas!
Holly

October half term holiday club

October holiday club

We have a four day holiday club coming up in the October half term: Monday 26 to Thursday 29 August.  We welcome children from all primary schools in the area and we love to have back many of the same children from around Greenwich, Lewisham and Bexley!

We plan to continue with our successful formula of days out between 9am and 3pm then back at The Bridge for arts and crafts, sports, game and imaginative play until 6pm.  The day starts at 8am for breakfast at The Bridge and finishes at 6pm.  We are flexible, so if you want to drop off at 9am and pick up at 3pm or other combinations, please get in touch and we’ll do our best to meet your requirements.  The cost for the day (regardless of pickup time) from 9am is £30, or from 8am it is £35.

Parent feedback includes:

‘I think the holiday club is great value for money considering the amount of individual attention and interaction the children get, as well as the snacks!’

‘The children have been at a couple of out of school clubs and enjoy this one by far the most’
