Hello everyone....

Hi everyone,

Hope you have all had a great weekend despite all the rain we have had. Let's hope we get some beautiful sunny weather soon. 

Last week on Monday we painted our favourite foods on paper plates and talked about the different foods we liked. In the afternoon we did some cosmic kids yoga which we enjoyed.

On Tuesday we had PE with Mr Treble and played lots of games involving negotiating spaces avoiding obstacles. In the afternoon we made our own fruit smoothies for snack. We chose which fruit we liked and cut it up. We then used the hand blender to blend it together with the milk to make a smoothie. 

On Wednesday morning we used a variety of vegetables to print with and we created these into pictures. In the afternoon we did the hand washing experiment where we put glitter on our hands and then used soap to washout hands. When we rinsed our hands in the water we could see the places on hands we hadn't washed. Julia showed us how to wash our hands. 

On Thursday we used flour to make handprints on black paper. On Thursday a group of children prepared melon and hot chocolate for snack. We all enjoyed our hot chocolate on a rainy and cold day. On Friday we made pizza's to bring home. They looked very yummy. We rolled the dough out, put the tomato sauce on the base, grated the cheese and added a variety of our favourite toppings. We also used the hall to make an obstacle course which we all enjoyed doing. On Wednesday during group time we talked about healthy and unhealthy foods and talked about Jennie jigsaws packed lunches. We have also been talking about the names of different parts of the body and pointing to them.

Throughout the week we have had great fun creating lots of obstacles course outside using planks, crates and tyres and have been doing lots of balancing.  

This week we will continue to explore how to keep ourselves safe and healthy. We will be doing a variety of activities this week including looking after our teeth, making a pasta salad, sun safety. On Thursday afternoon we are going to meet Harold the giraffe from the Life Ed Van.

Notices

On Monday we have got our class photography at 9.30am. If your child doesn't normally come in on Monday you are very welcome to bring them in for the photo. Please come along at 9.15am. The photo will be taken outside. The photography phoned to say if it raining they will reschedule the photography session. If this is the case I will put a message on the school Facebook page as soon as I hear on Monday. Fingers crossed for good weather.

As the weather is starting to warm, please could all children bring sun hats to school. We do have a box of spares if needed. Please  apply suncream to your child before school and tick your child's name off on the list which will be on the green table by the pre-school door. If you have ticked to supply your own suncream, please could you make sure either it is in their bags or a spare is kept at pre-school. 

On the whiteboard outside the classroom door is a pocket with Home Wow slips in, please help yourself to these. We love celebrating the children's home WOW'S.

Henry is missing a pre-school jumper which has his name in. Please could we check jumpers. 

On Friday we break up for half term and we return back to preschool on Monday 7th June. Have a wonderful half term. 

We love seeing all the lovely home learning you are all doing so please do email it in to j.nineham@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk and headteacher@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk

Heres to another amazing week of adventures.
