Hi all just wanted some advice, the school where I work has 3 children in the class who NEVER EVER get invited to parties. It is a nursery, reception, year one class and the 2 children are in year 1 and have never had a party invite and they have been in the school since nurery.

1 child has cerbral palsey
the other 2 are brother and sister and the brother is a bit unpradictable behaviour wise.

I am 21 in April and was thinking of having a party for all the children with party games etc so that these children could have an invite and enjoy a party...

Great idea- can you hold it at nursery so you have more chance of them coming?

You sound really kind, just the sort of person I would like to look after my kids.

Absolutely, what a fantastic idea and the parents of the children will be so happy to get an invitation, I'm sure they must be aware that their children are being left out. It seems a shame to have to wait until April, is there any other occasion that you could do one for before then ?
If only all young people could be so caring and thoughtful.

What a fantastic role model you are! Brilliant idea! The children are very lucky to have you as their teacher...be careful, you will be inundated with invitations to all sorts of things now parties/ballet shows...!! Have a wonderful time. They will never forget it. Make sure the children who get left out can make it.

What a fab idea. I am sure some of the parents would be happy to help with food, etc.

Are you prepared for the rush of invitations to 4th, 5th and 6th birthday parties you will get ?

I hope the parents get the (not very) hidden message as well.
