Christmas is coming....

Hello Everyone,

Last week we have had a great week and were very busy making our models of our favourite form of Transport. The children were very inventive using the recourses well helping each other to stay safe and develop their ideas together. It was great to see their caring natures shining through.

The Role Play bus was very popular and this helped develop mark making while making tickets, writing maps and planning their journeys.

We also enjoyed vehicle song times and listening to vehicle sounds to see if we could identify them.

This week we will be starting to turn the role play area in to a lounge making a fire place with our Christmas stockings and Christmas tree. We will also be starting to make our Christmas lists so watch out for them!

Letters and Sounds

We will be starting to work on Environmental sound which follows on from our Transport games last week. Hopefully we will be able to identify which instrument is playing while it’s out of sight. We will keep you updated on how this developed.

Jennie Jigsaw

We will be starting work on the Jennie Jigsaw program in the New Year this is a program put together to help support children’s Personal, Social, and Emotional Education.

There are six pieces of the puzzle which are divided into one piece per half term. The first one we will be concentrating on is Being Me in My World.

Home Learning 

When you are out and about if you could help your child to identify outside sounds. Please record this on a wow so it can be proudly displayed.

Learning is such fun with your little ones and it’s amazing how much they absorb during their Pre-school sessions.
