Hello everyone

Hello Everyone,

We had a really busy fun week. On Monday we made some craft lollipops. 

Tuesday we did some Starfish craft and counting activity. Wednesday it was so hot we did some lovely maths games out in the gazebo.Thursday we were very busy making ice cream which was delicious.We also finished off our star fish counting activities. Friday we created tropical fish out of paper plates and cup cake cases, which was lots of fun and used our cutting and creative skills.

This week we will continue to explore ‘The Seaside’ theme and we have lots of fun activities planned. We will be taking part in dance day on the field and we will be called for our individual time slot. This will be shown online.

Group D:

On Monday we explored the rock pool in the tuff tray and discussed what each of the sea creatures were and how they moved. The children had so much knowledge of different sea creatures and they enjoyed sharing this with their friends, from how a crab pinches to why jellyfish sting and how an octopus releases ink. We also made some jellyfish.

On Tuesday we read an order formation book about different fish. The children enjoyed comparing the different sizes and patterns of fish. We then started making our own bottle fish, decorating them in a way that made them different to others. We also had fun on the play trail, climbing up the ropes and sliding down the side. We sang some seaside songs in the boat and pretended to be lifeguards.

On Wednesday we made our own strawberry ice cream, the children chopped up the strawberries and mixed the ingredients together before popping the ice cream in the freezer. We also went to the field, we played football with the beach ball (the children love the beach ball) We also played duck duck goose and what’s the time Mr Wolf. We finished the hot day with a special ice lolly snack from Julia, yum!

On Thursday we used the interactive whiteboard, some children were inspired to write their names and others drew some beautiful pictures. The children organised themselves independently to make sure that everyone had a go. We went to the woods where the children explored the trees. We enjoyed trying our homemade ice cream for snack. Because Thursday was a hot day, we spent lots of time in the shade where the children challenged their own learning. Some completed puzzles independently and others tried putting different sounds together to make a word. 

On Friday we spent a lovely morning on the field playing different games and exploring the school grounds.  In the afternoon we had fun with the water squirters, everyone had lots of fun, poor Julia got rather wet. 

Notices:

This week on Friday 2nd July we have got dance day, we will be practicing our dance in preparation for this.
Also Pre-school will be having a sports day session on either the 1st or 2nd July with Mr Treble. Unfortunately we will be unable to have parents/carers  come in due to the current government guidance but that we will take photos of these events. 

If you are not at Pre-School we  will be continuing  to catch up with you throughout the week  and we hope you are enjoying your new packs. Please do email if we can help with anything. We are now in school 5 days a week so just give us a call and we will get back to you.

 Enjoy your week and time together. 

We look forward to another good week.

See you all soon

Zoe, Chloe and the Pre-School Team
