Wow, What an amazing year we have had....

Hello everyone,

I can't believe it is our last few days of term. We have had such an amazing year with lots of fun and learning taking place. It has been lovely to see how the children have developed and to be part of their learning. We really want to wish that you all have a lovely break and get to make some great memories as a family over the coming weeks. We wish all the children all the very best in their next chapter of their learning journey. 

On Tuesday we have got our party day at Pre-school from 9.00am-3.30pm. Parents are welcome to come and join us for our leavers assembly in the Pre-school hall at 10.00am-10.45am. We then will be having a fish finger and chip lunch. In the afternoon we have got Andy the magic Man coming to do a magic show. We will be finishing the afternoon off with a visit from the ice cream van. 

Our next stay and play is on 31st August from 10.00am-11.30. All very welcome to come. 

Here 's to a great couple of days.

Our favourite toys

Hello everyone,

Last week we had great fun choosing our favourite toys to play with. At group time we talked about all the toys and resources we have enjoyed over the year and which ones we would like out. We have also enjoyed sharing our favourite stories this week as well. On Tuesday we had our Sports Day which was great fun. We all did really well and taking part and working as a team. We have really enjoyed harvesting different vegetables and fruits from the garden. We have had them for snack and cooked with them. We have made potatoes salad, cheesy courgettes, potatoes wedges, peas, cucumbers, lettuce and tomatoes. 

This week we will be going to be having our favourite toys and resources out. We will be asking the children what things have been their favourites and these will be put out for them. We will continue to harvest from the gardens and may even have some melon this week. On Thursday we have got our water day.

Our Favourite toys

Hello everyone,

Last week we enjoyed painting our salt dough sea creatures and binging them home. Some great pieces of art. On Monday morning we went to watch the Extreme Bike Show which we all enjoyed. The biker did some amazing tricks on his mountain bike and at one point jumped off the top of his van on his bike!! We have talked about our favourite flavoured ice cream and read some stories about ice creams. On Wednesday morning we made strawberry ice cream. On Thursday morning we made mango sorbet. The children cut up the fruit and watched the ice cream being made in the machine. After lunch on both days we enjoyed tasting the ice cream we made. It was enjoyed by many!!!
We have all enjoyed playing in the ice cream role play shop in the maths corner. This week we picked our first cucumbers and tomatoes to enjoy eating a snack. Lots of children tried trying them. On Thursday and Friday afternoon we enjoyed playing party games and showing our dance moves. We have enjoyed exploring and learning in the outdoor space this week. On Friday afternoon we had Dance Day, the children were great in the pre-school dance. We hope you all enjoyed. 

For the next two week we are going to be having our favourite toys and resources out. We will be asking the children what things have been their favourites and these will be put out for them. On Tuesday morning from 9.15-9.45am we have got our sports day on the main school field. Parents very welcome to come and watch. We are going to be doing some cooking with the produce from the nature garden this week. It going to a fun and exciting filled week.
