This week we are.....

Hello Everyone,

What an interesting week we have had!! Thank you so much to you all for making the effort to get to Pre-School on Thursday all dressed up. The weather finally brought some snow and we all had a chance to have some great family times playing in the snow. 

Last week the children really enjoyed the activities focussed on ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ Most of all they liked to talk about the wolf and how he ended up in the cooking pot! 

This week we will be focussing on craft activities and making some special gifts for the weekend. These will be focussing on fine motor skills and using our imaginations to make something really special. 

Letters and Sounds

Did any of your children notice how quiet it was when it was snowing with no cars on the road.  We will be seeing if we can hear anything different now the weather is changing. Hopefully we will start to hear the birds sing and the plants start to grow.

We will be playing picture lotto and following instructions while we are playing with the musical instruments. 

We will also include ‘Pass the puzzle game’ as we have been working on our sharing skills and team work.

Jigsaw

The children have been enjoying their group time discussions. We will be discussing spring and the changes we will be expecting to see in the environment soon.

This is to help reinforce Personal, Social and Emotional Development and help them to make life choices. 

Home Learning 

Please send in any snow photo’s for the board, hopefully you have lots of snaps on your phones and can email them straight across. 

Notices 

Sorry we had to cancel the parents evening on the Thursday please keep an eye out to when we will re schedule this for in the near future.  Looking forward to lots of fun learning experiences with your children over the coming week.
