Pre-school have had a lovely couple of weeks, continuing to focus on weather. The children have been looking at a story called, 'Tap Tap Boom Boom.' They have really engaged with this story and have explore rain, thunder and rainbows. The children have played instruments to represent the rain and thunder.

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and I look forward to seeing you all next week.

What a fantastic first week back the children have had! They have been busy exploring their new topic, weather. The children have been role playing in the weather station, exploring different textures linked to different weathers and cloud spotting.

You should have received your parents evening letter this week or it will be coming out next week. This will be an informal session where you can come and have a play with your child in Pre-school and you will have an opportunity to speak to your child's keyworker. This will be straight after Pre-school, unless you have been given a designated time.

Please can you ensure that all children have a sun hat and named water bottle with them as the weather is improving. We appreciate your cooperation with this.

Finally, if you have an spare clothes that have been borrowed from Pre-school, please could these be returned? Also, if your child has grown out of any clothes, we would appreciate any donations to replenish our spare clothes stock.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I look forward to seeing you next week.

What a fantastic week we had in Pre-School last week! The children were continuing their topic about new life using the book, Daisy and the Egg. The children were very confident talking about the life cycle of the duck and they even learnt Old MacDonald in Makaton. As it was Science Week, on Wednesday afternoon, the Pre-School children joined with Reception to carry out experiments. The children explored colour mixing, magnetic objects, shadows and even friction on car ramps. They had a brilliant afternoon and were incredibly engaged with the activities. The children who are going to school in September also joined in with Reception to do their outdoor learning whilst the other children also explored the field area. This was very exciting for them!

What a wonderful week we have had in Pre-School. The children have been busy with their indoor and outdoor learning. The rain certainly wasn't going to stop us on Tuesday afternoon! Today was very exciting as we erupted a volcano!

For national handwashing day, the children have been painting their hands with glitter and paint, taking a hand print, washing them and then doing another hand print. The children were very good at washing their hands as they did not have much glitter left on them!
