Hello everyone

Hello Everyone,

We hope you have had a lovely Easter and done your best to eat as much chocolate as you can. Everyone has to have a bit of chocolate for breakfast on Easter sunday!

We do hope you are continuing to go out for your daily exercise and take in lots of things around you that you would normally not notice.
 

It was lovely to catch up with you all this week and see what you have been doing making the most of the weather. I was very impressed by the amount of camping in gardens that was taking place. More to the point you stayed there all night and did not go back in when it got a little cold.

The chick’s are continuing to get their daily exercise in Julia’s garden and I’m sure she will continue to post some pictures for you to see.

On Wednesday you will receive a resource pack with lots of activity ideas we have put together. Please feel free to dip in and out of these ideas as they are just suggestions. 

They cover Healthy bodies, Fine motor skills, Small world challenges and sensory activities.

If you would like to borrow any of the Preschool resources you are more than welcome, just drop us an email.

We thought the children might like to know what our adventures have been.

Zoe has been doing some decorating, walking her dog,doing some gardening. I have also enjoyed playing board games with my family.

Chloe has been very active and set up a makeshift volleyball net in her garden and the highest score so far is 23. Chloe has also enjoyed taking her daily exercise in her local forest area.

Colleen has been planting lots of vegetables in her garden. "We made our own burgers at the weekend and cooked them on the bbq. We have been having lots of fun in the garden, enjoying the the lovely warm weather and even had a water balloon fight. I got very wet!! " 

Helen has been taking her dogs for daily walks and has been camping in her garden. "I have been playing on the trampoline and decorating my house."

Karen has been dancing and singing to music. I have been enjoying reading some books and playing some board games with my family. I have also been jogging around my house.

Caroline has been doing lots of yummy baking and has started knitting poppies ready for Remembrance in November. "I have done lots of tidying and enjoying the sunshine in my garden. I had great fun making a birthday bouquet from wild foliage from one of my walks."

Sharon has been doing lots of gardening and some walks to Maiden Castle.

Julia has been camping in her garden all weekend with her family. They enjoyed joining in with Stay at home Camp Bestival. She has also been taking her dogs out for daily walks and enjoying the sunshine. 

We may start on our minibeasts topic and see if we can hatch out Butterflies over the coming weeks. We will let you know when we are starting this.

Please drop us an email if there is anything you need. Thank you for all the lovely things you have sent us already. We really are missing you all and can’t wait till we are back at Pre-School together. Keep up your amazing work you are doing and stay safe.

Speak to you all soon
