Hello everyone

Hello Everyone,

Hope you had a good week and have done lots of fun things. Thank you for all the lovely emails and pictures. It's lovely to see what great things you have all been up to. 

I will be catching up with you throughout the week but please do email if we can help with anything.

Here are some things you may like to try this week:

Physical Development - pedal for numbers. Practice recognition while riding a favorite bike or scooter. You can chalk or have the numbers drawn on pieces of paper around the garden.

Outdoor canvas painting - collect flower petals,  mix them up with water to make different colours. Paint away on your paper or canvas.

Maths - Set out bowls and number each one 1-5. Your child has to collect the correct number of objects for the bowl. You could extend the game by adding some numbers of groups together or taking some away.

Expressive Art and Design - use a saucepan and spoon to beat out a simple rhythms.Can you child repeat it back to you. Can they make up their own. Can they follow a simple instruction to play loud or soft.

Everyday Mr Spracklen has Good morning POW at 9.30, 11.20 virtual assembly and 4.00pm Evening POW. This can be accessed on Facebook and you tube and is a great way of seeing what everyone is up to. There are great guest on the virtual assemblies. 

On Friday 1st May at 5.00pm is a virtual disco. This can be accessed on Facebook and you tube. 

Next Week.....

VE Day - Local - Thursday 7th May 2020 -

With the national commemorations taking place on Friday 8th May 2020, we plan to hold our own local virtual #InspiredToLearn commemoration on Thursday 7th May 2020.  

Our commemoration will take the format of an #InspiredToLearn Music Concert that will run from 2pm through to 5pm, hopefully providing the perfect backdrop to another picnic in your garden. We figured that two picnics in two days can be no bad thing!?

If you or your son/daughter would like to play at this virtual concert, please email me and we will work out agreed songs and timings in advance. 

At 4:00pm, we will join together with a POW-wide rendition of Dame Vera Lynn’s ‘We’ll Meet Again’, perfect practice before the national effort on the following day.

75th Anniversary - VE Day - 

Friday 8th May 2020 marks 75 years since the guns fell silent at the end of the war in Europe. The 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe was to have been marked with a series of local and national events, including our very own #InspiredToLearn VE Street Party. 

However, with these plans now cancelled the idea of a 'Stay at Home Street Party' is encouraging people to decorate their houses in red, white and blue and have a picnic in their front garden to celebrate. 

Thank you for staying in contact with us. We really are looking forward to seeing you all in the near future.

Speak to you all soon

Zoe, Chloe and the Pre-School Team
