Our last week at Pre-school

Hello everyone,

Wow, This school year has flown by and what a fantastic year we have had. We have learnt lots of new things through playing, exploring and experimenting. As it is our last week we will be asking the children each day what their favourite toys and activities are at pre-school and putting them out during the week. We will be having lots of picnics outside this week as long as the weather is fine.

Our last stay and play will be on Wednesday 19th July 2017 starting from 8.30am till 9.00. Be lovely to see you all.

On Friday there are no hot lunches, so don't forget a packed lunch if you normally have a hot on a Friday.

On Friday afternoon after school at 3.30pm there is a family picnic in the park opposite the Main school.

Every child's learning journey will be going with them to their first school to support transition. The reception teacher will held their learning journeys back to you after a few weeks.

Myself and the Pre-school staff would like to wish you all a happy summer holiday and good luck to all the children starting school in September. Thank you to all our parents and carers for the support you have shown us this year.

Thank you

Julia and Pre-school team

Health and Safety week

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a lovely sunny weekend. 

Last week we had our den week. The weather was rather wet so we didn't make tents and dens outside. Instead we made dens in soft play. We listened to the story of Kipper's Monster and also acted out the story in the hall. Isla bought in a tent she had made out of paper. The children really liked Isla idea so we made our own tents out of paper and put them on the wall. On Friday afternoon we went outside and played bat and ball which the children choose to do.  
We also listened to the story of Alfie and Annie rose camping trip. 
We have been doing lots of singing this week and sang a new song called 'what shall we do with the letter.. Can you think of words beginning with.. The children have enjoyed learning this and thinking of words beginning with that particular letter. We have also been playing the game of what comes next after number.. The children have become really good at this. 

This week we are going the school with their Health and Safety topic. During this week we will be playing lots of different games e.g. football, hockey, running etc and observing the effects of activity on our bodies. We are also having our sponsored bike/scooter rides this week. We will be talking about safety at the seaside, crossing the road etc. We will be going to watch Sports Day at the main school on Monday morning. 
We are going to be making some cakes and decorating them for our BBQ on Tuesday afternoon after school.
