We would like to welcome Susan and Leigh to the staff team. Both Susan and Leigh have transferred from our East Kilbride Nursery – Glenburn House. Susan will be working with the Tweenies, while Leigh will work with the 2-3yr olds.

We are sorry to tell you that Shirelle will be leaving us in order to return to university. Her last day will be Friday 11th September. We will all miss you Shirelle so do remember to come back and visit.

  • Staff moves

Maxine will be working mainly with the Tweenies now meaning that Kayleigh will be moving to the 2-3 area. Jaye will be joining the Pre-school team allowing Danielle to join the Baby Room.

  • Staff Training

All staff will take part in Oral Health Training on Tuesday 8th September ’09.

During October’s staff meeting staff will take part in a Child Protection Workshop in order to refresh and up-date our knowledge in this area.

  • Curriculum for Excellence

We are now at the early stages of implementing Curriculum for Excellence within the 3-5 area and feel confident that this will have a positive impact.

  • Hygeine in Hand Washing

In order to highlight the importance of hand washing, and hygiene in general we have arranged to borrow the ‘Carex Hands Up for Hygiene Lightbox’. This will allow staff to show children the areas on their hands where bugs and germs are living. Staff will also offer further activities around this time which will aim to support good hygiene practices

  • Zoolab 23 October

Zoolab will be visiting the Kindergarten area on Friday 23rd October ’09 from 2-3pm to offer a ‘Rainforest Adventure’. During this time children will have the opportunity to meet and handle some of the creatures and creepy crawlies which might be found in a rainforest. We are sure great fun will be had by all.

  • Monster Bash – Fri 30th Oct. ‘09

Be prepared for a scare, Halloween is coming to Munro House! We will be dooking for apples, hunting for Halloween treasure and boogying with the boggy man. Fancy dress or P.J.s a must!!!!
