Hello everyone....

 

🌟 Preschool Weekly Blog 🌟

We hope you have all had a lovely weekend and have enjoyed spending time together. It has been another busy and memorable week at preschool, filled with exciting activities, celebrations and special moments.

💦 Monday
We started the week with our swimming session, where the children continued to grow in confidence in the water while having lots of fun. Afterwards, the children enjoyed making a delicious blueberry cake, ready to take to our friends at kickboxing. They carefully measured, mixed and stirred the ingredients together, developing their teamwork and early maths skills.

🥋 Tuesday
Tuesday was a very special day as some of our children took part in their Kickboxing Graduation. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved over the year. Their confidence, determination and perseverance have shone through, and it was wonderful to celebrate their success together. In the afternoon we played in the hall and a group children went swimming. 

🎶 Wednesday
On Wednesday we enjoyed another lovely visit to our local care home. The children sang songs, shared stories and enjoyed cake with the residents. It was wonderful to see the smiles on everyone's faces as the children chatted so confidently with their new friends.

Back at preschool, a small group of children baked some delicious cakes for Sian as a thoughtful surprise. In the afternoon we enjoyed our final Relax Kids session of the year, helping us to feel calm and relaxed. We then shared cake together with Sian to celebrate and thank her for everything she has done.

🤸 Thursday
Thursday morning was our final YMCA gym session. The children have absolutely loved these sessions throughout the year and have developed so many new physical skills, confidence and resilience.

In the afternoon, our Year 2 children enjoyed spending time in Reception for their transition visit, where they joined in with a lovely BBQ. It was a fantastic opportunity for the children to become more familiar with their new environment, staff and friends ahead of September.

🌳 Friday
We finished the week with a relaxed day enjoying both our indoor and outdoor learning environments. The children chose their own activities, played with their friends and made the most of the beautiful weather while creating lots of happy memories together.

Hello everyone....

 

🌞 Preschool Weekly Blog 🌞

We hope you have all had a lovely weekend with family and friends, enjoying the beautiful sunshine! ☀️

Last week, we had a fantastic time sharing our favourite stories and exploring a variety of different sports as part of our Inclusive Sports Fortnight. Throughout the week, the children also took part in our sponsored Bike-athon each morning. They have all done an amazing job, completing lots of laps on their bikes and scooters with huge smiles and determination. Thank you to everyone who has supported this event – we really appreciate it!

🏀 Monday

We started the week by exploring basketball, practising our throwing skills and aiming to score baskets. The children showed great perseverance and loved celebrating their successes. In the afternoon, we learned how to play boules, taking turns and encouraging our friends. We also enjoyed watching different sporting events on the television and talking about the sports we recognised.

🥊 Tuesday

On Tuesday morning, one of our groups enjoyed their final kickboxing session of the year. It was wonderful to welcome parents along to watch as the children proudly demonstrated all the fantastic skills they have learned throughout the year. They should all be incredibly proud of themselves! In the afternoon, we learned how to play hockey, practising how to hold the sticks safely and work together as a team. The children had great fun and showed excellent listening skills.

❤️ Wednesday

A group of children visited the care home, where they spent time singing songs, sharing a story and enjoying cake with the residents. The children loved chatting about all the exciting things they have been doing at preschool, and it was lovely to see the smiles on everyone's faces.

Back at preschool, another group enjoyed developing their ball skills through a variety of fun games and activities. In the afternoon, we all took part in our Relax Kids session, helping us to unwind and practise mindfulness through movement and relaxation.

🤸‍♀️ Thursday

We began the day with our weekly gym session. To warm up, the children moved in different ways to music before quickly jumping into a hoop whenever the music stopped.

The children then enjoyed a range of exciting activities, including:

• Trampolining and practising twists
• Completing an obstacle course
• Walking along a low balancing beam
• Swinging on the bars
• Practising forward rolls
• Learning how to jump and land safely on two feet

We finished our session with a lively game of the Hokey Cokey and some fun rope games.

In the afternoon, some of our children attended their Reception transition session and had a wonderful time exploring their new classroom and meeting staff. The remaining children enjoyed outdoor play and a range of exciting activities back at preschool.

🎈 Friday

We spent the morning making the most of the lovely weather with lots of outdoor play. In the afternoon, the children were thrilled to enjoy some time on the bouncy castle, filling the garden with laughter, smiles and lots of energetic bouncing!

🌈 Learning Through Play

Throughout the week, the children explored a wide range of play-based learning opportunities, including:

• Constructing with cogs, pebbles, flower construction pieces and Monster Duplo.
• Strengthening fine motor skills in our Finger Frenzy area using Tap-a-Shape.
• Small world imaginative play with our camping scene.
• Sand play, creating and decorating sandcastles.
• Playdough with gems, shells and cutters to encourage creativity and strengthen hand muscles.
• Numbered elephants and linking activities to develop early maths skills and counting.

It has been another busy and exciting week full of learning, laughter, friendship and new experiences. We are so proud of all the children for their enthusiasm, resilience and willingness to have a go.
