Hello everyone

Hello everyone,

We hope you have all had a fantastic weekend. 

Last week we had a great time settling back into pre-school and spending lots of time exploring outside. We have really enjoyed playing and exploring with the new water play area. We have deheaded the daffodils and using them in the mud kitchen area. We explore what was inside the small pods. We have planted some sunflower seeds which will go into the preschool  daffodil bed. We have been pressing flowers and plants onto fabric using a pebble. They look amazing and we are go to make some bunting with them to display outside. We have been watering our plants. In the role play area we have got a clothes shop with clothes, Jewellery, shoes and bags. We have had lots of fun exploring this. Our tadpoles have got bigger and we have been observing them in the tank. 

This week we will sharing the story of Jack and the beanstalk with a variety of activities based around the story which include planting a bean, golden egg hunt, harp threading, tasting different types of beans, playing the bean game and lots more.

Jennie Jigsaw- At group time we will continue to talk about friendships. 

Home learning Challenge

Can you play your favourite board game? 

The beanstalk was very tall. Can you find 5 things in your house that are taller than you and 5 things that are shorter than you?

Notices

As the weather is starting to warm, please could all children bring sun hats to school. We do have a box of spares if needed. Please  apply suncream to your child before school and tick your child's name off on the list which will be on the green table by the pre-school door. If you have ticked to supply your own suncream, please could you make sure either it is in their bags or a spare is kept at pre-school. 

On the whiteboard outside the classroom door is a pocket with Home Wow slips in, please help yourself to these. We love celebrating the children's home WOW'S.

The Big pedal continues tomorrow Monday (26th April) and we encourage children to come to school by bike or scooter if they can during this fortnight (and beyond). To prepare for the event Sustrans have provided us with some safety check videos to help you and your child get their bikes or scooters ready.
