Hello everyone,
Welcome back to the new school year with lots of fun and exciting exploring and learning. We have had a great first week back at Pre-school and the children have settled in really well. Over the week we have been exploring our new classroom through play and learning the routines of the day. It has been lovely getting to know the children and we are very excited for the year ahead.
Throughout the week we have been painting our self portraits for our classroom display. We have been looking in the mirror and looking at the diffrent facial body parts and then we painted our self portraits. We have also been talking about what we like, dislike and what we are good at. Please see picture below of display. On Wednesday morning a group of children had PE in the main school hall. We played the traffic light game. which involved moving around in diffrent ways and stopping when the colour red was show and go when the colour green was shown. On Wednesday and Thursday afternoon we did some cosmic kids yoga which we really enjoyed. On Thursday afternoon we went to soft play and had a great time. On Friday afternoon we went blackberry picking and collected apples from the orchard to make crumble for snack. Throughout the week we have been listening to a variety of stories at group time and singing our favourite songs. We have also enjoyed playing outside. We have met Harold the giraffe and he has been talking about Choosing Kindness. Can you child tell you abut this?
- I can show kindness through gesture (smiling)
- I am kind to my friends
- I can share resources with others
- I can be friendly towards others
This week we will continue focusing on settling back into Preschool in Year 2 and it will be a time for the children, us and yourselves to get to know us. We will be having lots of fun playing and exploring together. We will be finding out about Raya the Respectful butterfly. We will be playing some games involving taking turns. We will also be sharing the story of Shark in the park towards the end of the week and have lots of exciting activities planned.
The adults who will be working within the Year 2 classroom is myself, Colleen, Lauren and Lauren.
