Hello everyone

Hello Everyone,

We had a nice week.  On Monday we made some sticking fish scene pictures.

Tuesday we did some construction activities, we had to make predictions and work together to make our plans work.   Wednesday we played some maths games and worked in pairs .Thursday we had great fun talking about nature and looking for insects. We even made  them a little bug house.Friday we played small world play and Doctor’s in the role play area.

This week we will be led by what the children have been asking to do. They would like to explore messy play. 

Group D

We have had a lovely time last week. On Monday the children helped make a puppet theatre. The children were very creative and also made, tickets, a sign and a clock for performance start times. Throughout the week the children have enjoyed performing some very imaginative shows and watching others. 

On Tuesday we went to the forest school area and collected resources to make some nature boats. The children enjoyed making all sorts of boats from speed boats to sail boats with bark, sticks and leaves. We floated them in our pool and then we were inspired to see which objects might float and which may sink. 

On Wednesday we had a great morning on the field recreating some of our sports day races, playing games, rolling down the bank and exploring the meadow. We also made fruit boats for snack! 

On Thursday the weather was a little unsettled, the children wanted to continue our boat making with junk modelling. 

On Friday we had a lovely day mostly outside, playing in the mud kitchen, on the balance bikes and exploring bubbles. In the afternoon we made the most amazing den and even had a popcorn snack in there.

If you are not at Pre-School we  will be continuing  to catch up with you throughout the week  and we hope you are continuing with your 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.

Some of the children would like to dress up, from their idea we would like to invite the children on Thursday 16th July and Friday 17th July to come into pre-school in fancy dress costumes. 

On Friday 17th July @4.00pm we have got a Pre-school virtual zoom disco. Please fill in the reply slip with an email address so a link to the zoom disco can be sent to you. We will be sending the zoom invite out this week via email. 

We would like to thank you for following the new normal routines to keep us all safe.

It has been great to be back for this term and to see how much your children have grown up and new skills they have learnt.  We would  like to wish  you a great few weeks of. We look forward to welcoming you to year 2 of Pre-School.

 Enjoy your week and time together. 

We look forward to another good week.

See you all soon

Hello everyone

Hello Everyone,

We had a nice fun packed week. On Monday we made some Beach scene pictures.

Tuesday we did some matching and counting activities. Wednesday we practiced our role play skills and made playdough cakes in the role play area.We also went on an adventure around the school grounds and found some puddles to splash in .Thursday we had great fun playing ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf’ and made some potions. Friday we took part in the Dance day over on the field. I was so proud of the children for just standing up in front of the whole school , let alone doing some dance moves!

This week we will continue to explore ‘The Seaside’ theme and we have lots of fun activities planned. We have asked the children for some ideas that they would like to explore so it should be an exciting fun week.

Group D:

We had a very busy and fun week last week!

On Monday we made bread, the children measured out the ingredients and were great at kneading the dough. We made bread rolls in the shape of different sea creatures and enjoyed eating them for snack. We also had fun on the big yellow slide in the play trail. The children were very confident at climbing up the ladder independently. 

On Tuesday we began making sand salt dough. Some children made shells, octopus, fossils and we even had a sea slug. We will continue with painting these this week. The children enjoyed playing in our outdoor space, making camp fires, dinosaur nests and soup in the mud kitchen.

On Wednesday Henry shared his favourite story with us, ‘Henry and the Yeti’. The children were inspired to make a compass, binoculars and a camera and we set off for the forest school area determined to find one. The children searched everywhere but they could not find any yeti evidence! In the afternoon we had our sports day. The children did an amazing job at the running races, kicking, catching and hurdle events. Everyone so deserved their medals, they were all fantastic.

On Thursday the children shared some of their favourite books from home. We had a lovely time exploring the school grounds and singing songs in the boat. 

On Friday the children asked to make pizza for snack. We made the pizza dough and chopped and grated the toppings. All of the children thought that it was delicious. In the afternoon we joined school for dance day. Each year group performed a dance for the rest of the children. We performed ‘Were going on a bear hunt’, all of the children joined in even though there were lot’s of people watching. They all did such an amazing dance! 

This week will are continuing with our seaside theme, focussing on boats. We will try and make a boat from junk modelling, maybe have some fruit boats for snack and experiment with what floats and sinks. The children have been very interested in acting out stories and so we will make a puppet stand where they might like to perform their own stories.
