the last week !!!

Dear parents,
Thank you to all our parents and children who came to the reception /pre school BBQ, I hope you all agree a good time was had by all.

Here we are at the last week of pre school before the summer holiday. This week we hope to spend lots of time outside. We are going to look at the big outdoors book by Shirley Hughes, and start the week with the story of Alfie and his Dad who go camping in the back garden. We hope to make some tents out on the grass.
We will also read Bonting by Shirley Hughes about a pebble from the beach. These are lovely stories to share with the children, look out for them.

Thank you to all our families for the support you have shown us this year. We have had a great year, with lots of lovely activities for the children to explore and learn with. All the staff have greatly enjoyed the time spent experiencing these activities with the children.

Happy holidays !!

literacy week

Hello Everyone,
This week we join the whole school topic of literacy week.
We will be watching a reading of a poem by Kit Wright called the magic box. After some discussion about the magic box the children will be able to make their own magic box and start to fill it with things to make a story.

We will be enjoying lots of favourite stories this week that have been popular with the children over the past year. Can you or your child think of a story they have particularly enjoyed this year ? do let us know.

Also this week children from year 4 will be coming to pre school to build reading dens and then reading the children stories in them. This is always great fun.

Extreme reading..... why not take a picture of your child or the family reading in an extreme/unusual/ different place and bring it in for the main  school display. you may be able to e mail it to us. Ask Caroline for details.

THANK YOU to all who came to Mr Gibson's reading talk I hope you all found it useful, and to those who found time to come along to meet him this week individually.

DON'T FORGET, the barbeque on Wednesday after school, it is for ALL pre school families, NO MATTER which school your child will be attending. A lovely, social way to end the school year. ALL VERY WELCOME.

Sadly its the last week next week so don't forget to return library books.
Lastly Monday morning the order goes in for pre school photographs. Hardly anyone has ordered, so hurry if you have forgotten !
