Dens

Hello everyone,

Last week we had a fantastic STEM week with lots of making and science experiments. During the week we made shooting rockets with straws, balancing robots, flyer's along with dancing raisins and an experiment with skittles. On Wednesday afternoon the children worked with Year 4 children making marble runs using junk modelling and marble run kits. Also they made a golf ball and water run outside using the large construction. They worked really well together and it was a fantastic afternoon. 
This week we have also enjoyed standing up and performing our own songs to our friends at group time. We have used the musical instruments to go with the song of 'I am the music man'. 

This week we will be making dens inside and outside using different resources along with putting a tent up. We will be visiting the roundhouse and talking about what it is made of and using it as a den as well. We will be reading some stories about camping out and making dens throughout the week. We will be having some picnic snacks outside as long as weather is fine.

On Monday we will be having our 'Bake off' competition to raise money for one of our parents who needs a life changing operation. I look forward to seeing lots of lovely cakes. To enter please make a donation. We will be selling them at the end of the day from the pre-school summer house.

Stay and Play is on Friday 30th June starting from8.30 till 9.00am.  It will be lovely to see you there.

The week of 3rd July we will be doing our sponsored bike/scooter ride. Within the next two weeks we will be letting you know which day your child will be taking part in this. If you have not received a sponsorship form, please come and see me. 


Please make sure children are sun creamed and have a sun hat. We will be reapplying suncream at lunch time for children staying all day. We will be encouraging the children to have regularly drinks of water throughout the day. 

If you would like to catch up about your child's progress before the end of term please come and see me to arrange a time. 

On Tuesday 27th June, Mr Gibson is holding a coffee morning for all our preschool parents to talk about reading. Please do come along. 

This week is Helen last week with us at pre-school. I and all the pre-school team would like to wish her Good Luck with her new venture as manager at the new pre-school in Cerne Abbas. It has been amazing having Helen as part of our team for the past 8 years. Helen has made every child's first experience of Prince of Wales Pre-school an exciting, safe and fun experience. She has made all our families very welcome and given them such a positive environment for their child's first experience of pre-school. We will all greatly miss Helen but we all wish her well in her new role.

Thanks

Julia and Pre-school team
