Farms and Animals

Hello Everyone,

We had a lovely week and very much enjoyed looking for mud in the digging beds.

We found a few worms and some slugs that the rain brought out.

Our Butterfly eggs will be arriving over the next few days so, keep an eye out for these.

This week we will move to a new topic of ‘The Farm’ and ‘Animals’ 

We will be exploring lots of different textures and patterns to create our farm topic work. We will also be practicing our role play on how to milk a cow. We will compare and weighing groups of objects and be looking in to the features and details of different animals.

Letters and Sounds

This week we will be having ‘listening moments’ in the garden to see what new sounds we can hear. The children will be thinking about what their favourite sound is and say why they like it the most. We will keep a record of this.  We will also re visit the sound shakers to see how much the children have recalled from last time.

Jigsaw

We will be playing our musical puzzle game to get everyone working as a team. 

We will be talking about who is special to us and what relation they are within the family.

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

Home Learning 

If you are out and about this week and your child hears a new sound or spots something they have not seen before please could you record this for us.

Notices

As the weather is starting to warm, please could all children bring sun hats to school. We do have a box of spares if needed. If you have applied suncream to your child before school please could you let a member of staff know. If you have ticked to supply your own suncream, please could you make sure children have this when they come to pre-school ready for us to apply.

It was lovely to see some of you at Stay and Play on Wednesday.  This week Stay and Play will be on Thursday 3rd May from 8.30-9.00am. Everyone is very welcome including younger and older siblings. Hope to see lots of you there.

Continuing this week is the Big Pedal. Children are encouraged to scooter or bike to school. We are keeping a tally of how many each day.

On WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND Friday this week we are having our sponsored bike and scooter ride. Please see letter to see which day your child is taking part. Children can bring in their bikes or scooters and helmets. We will be counting how many laps of the island they can do. Each child will get a certificate at the end. 

On Friday 18th May it is the POWSA Summer bingo evening. Doors open at 5.30pm and eyes down for 6.00pm. It's a great family evening. 

Don't forget to bring in your child's WOW moments. We love to share and celebrate these with everyone. There are spare WOW's by the WOW board in the corridor. 

Looking forward to a great week.

Zoe and Pre-school team
