Tylers Green First School<br />
All of us at Tylers Green First School would<br />
like to wish you a very Happy & Healthy New<br />
Year for 2018, and hope that you have had a<br />
relaxing and enjoyable break over Christmas<br />
and New Year. Staff and pupils have started the<br />
year with enthusiasm and are looking forward<br />
to the activities ahead.<br />
I hope that if you joined us on for our<br />
Christmas Fair last term you enjoyed meeting<br />
our parents and staff and had a good time. We<br />
welcome members of the community to our<br />
school fairs and appreciate you taking the time<br />
to come along and support us.<br />
Our Christmas Nativity plays were very<br />
successful this year, and enjoyed by all. We<br />
were lucky enough to have a visit from Santa on<br />
party day when he spent the afternoon with each<br />
class in turn. Everyone really enjoyed the<br />
opportunity to talk to Santa, and to play party<br />
games together after the hard work of the term.<br />
This term, we had a Pantomime, Aladdin,<br />
performed by a travelling theatre company in<br />
school. Those of you near the school may well<br />
have heard us joining in the fun of the<br />
Pantomime. Having the visiting theatre<br />
company provides us with an opportunity to<br />
introduce the children to live theatre. The<br />
characters visit the youngest children prior to<br />
the performance as this helps to allay their<br />
worries about what can seem to be quite scary<br />
characters when they are so close to you.<br />

Village Voice February/March 2018<br />
Teachers too have worries that they will be the<br />
chosen member of staff to have a small role in<br />
this production!<br />
We have our usual visit from the Toy<br />
Workshop for Year 1 at the start of term. The<br />
children have the opportunity to study and<br />
handle toys from other times which they<br />
thoroughly enjoy. This always causes some<br />
nostalgia amongst some of us on the staff team<br />
as well as the parent helpers who assist in<br />
making the day run as smoothly as possible.<br />
In the lead up to half term, we will have are a<br />
One World Week and we will be learning about<br />
lots of new and exciting places. The children<br />
enjoy our themed weeks and we find time to<br />
share what we have done with each other either<br />
in an assembly or by walking around the school<br />
and visiting each other’s classrooms.<br />
We are always looking for people amongst<br />
the community who have a skill to offer or to<br />
share with us and this can be as much or as little<br />
as you feel able to offer. We also seek<br />
Governors to join our skilled Governing Body.<br />
If you are interested in any of the above roles<br />
please make contact with me on the school<br />
number 01494 813201. Mrs J Dieppe, Headteacher,<br />

Little Oaks Nurseries & Creche<br />
We enjoyed rousing end-of-term Nativities from<br />
all nursery children, who dressed up as all the<br />
well-known characters from the story. And –<br />
then there were the cowboys (see photo). We’re<br />
not sure what happened to the shepherds this<br />
