Pre-School Year 2: Hello everyone....

Hello everyone,

We hope you have all had a great weekend with lots of puddle jumping walks. Last week we enjoyed listening to a variety of farming/harvest stories including the Scarecrow Wedding, The enormous Turnip, tractor stories and lots more.

On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday a small group of children went to the school orchard to collect apples and pears and to the chicken to collect eggs. They made some yummy apple muffins with the ingredients. We hope you all enjoyed them.

On Monday the children went over to school to look at the John Deere tractor. We talked all about shapes, colours, about the different parts of the tractor and the job it does.

On Tuesday we had PE with Mr Treble and played some great games including stuck in the mud, the bunny hoop game and traffic lights.

In the afternoon and on Wednesday we did some vegetable printing. We talked about the different types of vegetables and how they grow e.g. under the ground, on a tree etc.

On Thursday and Friday we did some threading using a needle and wool and threading paper pears and apples. We used a pincer grip to hold the needle and how to go in and out to thread them on to the wool.

On Friday afternoon we went to the farm. We were all amazing and had so much fun. We were great at walking all the way to the farm and it was so fun to jump in lots of puddles. We met Farmer Hazel who showed us around the farm. We saw horses, pigs, Cows, Chickens, sheep, combine harvester, tractors and lots more. We enjoyed eating our snack in the farms barn classroom.

Throughout the week we have enjoyed sorting the plastic fruits into colours and counting them. We have been busy filling the peg boards with pegs using a pincer grip. We have enjoyed playing alongside our friends with the small world allotment. We have enjoyed feeling and mark making in the oats. We have been busy playing with the farm and tractors on the floor. At the play dough we have been making tracks using the tractors and creating fields of animals.

Here are some pictures of our week....

This week we will be continuing with Farm,Food and Faith fortnight and have lots of adventures and exploring to do. We are going to continue with our cooking, making wooden spoon scarecrows, making shakers using corn kernels and lots more.
