Hello everyone....

 



Hello Everyone, 


We have had a very fun week with lots of learning along the way. We have been very creative and have been trying different types of painting. We covered the tables with foil and then made marks using various tools and paint. We then pressed the paper over the top to form our paintings. 

The children also enjoyed painting under the tables as this is great for developing core and arm muscle movements. 

During the week we experimented with our new stretchy band which is great for group times and singing action songs. The children have loved it!

The children made shape biscuits which they enjoyed as a special treat for snacktime. We have made the most of our lovely indoor spaces when it has been wet. The children have enjoyed the soft play room and the sensory room.

The children have been taking very well while completing small group tasks which has been great to see. 


This week we will be learning and talking about different emotions. We have lots of fun activities planned to keep us busy and build our knowledge of how we are feeling.



Healthy Movers

We will be  continuing to move in different ways and seeing how flexible we can be. 


Please keep the ‘Wow’s’ coming in. The children are learning many new skills that need to be celebrated!  I will put some more in the childrens bags this week.If you have any photos from the last couple of weeks please feel free to send them to Zoe on the email address below. The children love to recognise them on the big screen during group times. 

Please continue to sign up for parents/carers evening that is coming up soon.


Home Learning

Can you make a happy face?

Can you make a sad face?

Can you express how you are feeling?


If you can continue to help your child to put on their own shoes this is a really useful skill to have. Also putting on their own coats. This really helps them to learn this valuable skill.

Hello Everyone, 


We hope you have all had a great Christmas break and we look forward to hearing all about the fun you have had together!

This week we will be focussing on some Christmas recall and settling the children back in. We also have some new children starting this half term. We are sure you will join us in welcoming them to the class. 

We will be doing some colour recall and will focus on the story of ‘Elmer’ for the week.


Healthy Movers

We will be   using our scarves to many different types of music this week. We will also talk about how the music makes us feel. 


Please keep the ‘Wow’s’ coming in. The children are learning many new skills that need to be celebrated! If you have any photos from the last couple of weeks please feel free to send them to Zoe on the email address below. The children love to recognise them on the big screen during group times. 


Next week we will start to suggest some home learning which will help to reinforce the skills we have been learning at preschool. These tasks are always optional but are great to see the progression of your child's skills and knowledge building. 


If you can continue to help your child to put on their own shoes this is a really useful skill to have. Also putting on their own coats. This really helps them to learn this valuable skill.

Healthy Movers
This week we will continue doing some sticky songs and we are sure the children are going to love them. We will also be singing some Christmas songs with musical instruments. 

Notices

As the weather begins to change, please remember to send a warm coat each day so we can keep enjoying outdoor activities whenever possible.
We also encourage you to continue helping your child practice putting on their own shoes and coat — it’s a wonderful way to build independence and confidence. Please can you return any home learning bags you may have at home.

Please also remember that the classroom door opens at 8:55 a.m., unless it is a Stay and Play morning. The Stay and Play dates are displayed next to the entrance door. This week it is Story time at 3.10pm. Everyone is welcome.

We hope you all have a lovely Christmas and enjoy spending time with your friends and family. We break up for Christmas on Friday 19th December and return back to preschool on Monday 5th January.

Please try to leave all home toys/comfort objects in your child’s bag. 


We can then keep track of what has come out so they don’t get lost.
