Hello everyone

Hello everyone,

We hope you have all had a great weekend enjoying the sunshine and enjoying the outdoors. 

Last week we had a great week learning about all the Frog life cycle and celebrating world book day. We read a variety of stories about frogs and visited the school pond to look at the frog spawn. We have got some Frog spawn in a tank in preschool and we have been using the magnifying glasses to take a closer look. We have noticed that we have a couple of Tadpoles now. We have been drawing pictures of the frog spawn and the tadpoles. We have enjoyed singing the 5 speckled frogs song especially with the  frogs in the Gelibaff. We have been making a display of the frog life cycle and to make the frogspawn, tadpole and froglets we did some bouncy tights  painting which was great fun.

 On Tuesday we had PE with Mr Treble and we played sleepy pirate which we love playing. Mr Treble was the sleepy pirate and we had to catch the treasure whilst he was a sleep. When he woke up we had to freeze. We also played the bunny game with hoops. we had to move around in different ways and when he clapped his hands we had to run to a hoop as our burrow. 

On Thursday it was World Book Day and it was great to see all the fantastic nursery rhyme characters. We enjoyed singing a variety of nursery rhymes at group time. We watched a couple of share a story on the world book day website . We went in small groups around school and listened to a variety of stories. 

Throughout the week we have been exploring counting and solving number problems with a muffin tray, cupcakes cases and marbles. We have had great fun exploring with the torches and the different coloured transparent material along with shadows. We have been using our first hand experiences of role playing in the supermarket shop. We have played the frog number game in small groups and have enjoying hopping the frogs into the bowl. 

This week we will continue with settling back into preschool and  have got a science themed week so we will be doing lots of exploring and experimenting through a variety of activities. Also we will be making a lovely surprise for Mother's Day.

   9. Magic dancing milk

   For this activity – an engaging introduction to chemical reactions – you’ll need a shallow dish, full-fat milk, food colouring, cotton buds and washing up liquid. Pour some milk into the dish, add some drops of food colouring, then dab with a cotton bud dipped in washing up liquid. Use a few different colours at the same time for maximum impact, and try dabbing in different places.
