Farming fortnight

Hi Everyone,

This week we have had lots of fun making Brown bear for our display board.The children had fun mixing their own colours of brown and used lots of descriptive words.The children have picked up the story really quick and have made up their own version like I - spy.

 The children liked playing with the puppets pretending to be bears and also making movements like a bear.

We have been exploring around and helping to look after the animals, feed, ensure they have water, collecting fruit and vegetables from the polytunnel. The children are starting to become more confident in the wildlife garden and on friday afternoon they had a chance to hold the Guinea pigs in small groups if they wanted. Tuesday morning we went to play on the Trim trail climbing equipment over at school we also had a game of football on the field.

In the afternoon we also went on a balance bike ride over and around the school playground. This was on Thursday.

We did some songs with the instruments this week. We had lots of fun drumming loud and soft. Each child had the chance to be the leader and lead the group. 

This week we will be focusing on ‘ Farming fortnight’ There will be lots of exciting things to go and see at school. We have lots of fun activities to keep us busy as well as exploring harvest vegetables and talking about how and where they come from and what happens on a farm.  Hopefully the weather will be dry this week and we can play on the play trail area just next to Preschool this week.

Letters and Sounds

We will continue with our letters and sounds activities during group times. We will continue with our listening to different sounds, this week focusing on the inside sounds.
