Week Commencing 28/04/2025

Learning Theme - Around the World

This half term, we’ll be embarking on a global adventure with our new theme, ‘Around the World’. Within this theme we will be introducing the children to some traditional story books including Errol’s Garden by Gillian Hibbs, Where is Lenny by Alanna Max and Lulu Loves The Library by Anna McQuinn.

Children have been busy in recent weeks, and we have been planting some seeds that have been growing indoors, these are almost ready to be placed into our planter for the plants to mature fully. We cannot wait to use these in different recipes throughout our weeks in pre-school and if we are lucky be able to share these with you at home.

Within this learning theme children will be learning all about different cultures, countries, languages and families. We have a large world map in Pre-school which you may have seen during parents evening sessions. This is something that we will use to explore all the different cultures we have within Pre-school. Anything you wish to share to help with these experiences would be lovely.

This learning theme will help children develop their Personal, Social and Emotional Development. Allow development opportunities in areas such as Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design and also encourage conversations that will extend Communication and Language development.

We've also been tuning into environmental sounds and practicing syllables with the catchy song 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Once I Caught a Fish Alive!
