Hello everyone,

We hope you have all had a wonderful weekend.

Throughout the week in small groups we have been visiting the post box to post our special picture, we have a couple of groups to go this coming week. 

On Tuesday morning a group had PE with Mr Treble and they practiced some different team races including egg and spoon and running races.

In the afternoon the children continued with making green frog powder and experimented what happened when you add bicarbonate of soda with lemon juice. On Wednesday afternoon Charlie's grandad came in to play his guitar and sing some songs. It was great fun and we were great at joining in. 

On Thursday afternoon the weather was lovely and sunny and the children enjoyed exploring the water tape and had some amazing fun making rivers, dams and exploring water. We all got rather wet but it was so much fun.On Friday we enjoyed dancing to a variety of our favourite tunes outside with the loud speaker. We are great dancers. Also on Friday we used some big cardboard boxes to make robots and using them to make robot heads for us to wear. Throughout the week we have been using the playdough to make robots, playing in the water tray with tea, cups, spoons and tea pots. We loved making a cup of tea. We have been constructing dog houses using the magnetic shapes and using the cogs and gears to make them go round. We have been practicing our screwdriver skills using them to screw in screws into pieces of wood. We used paint shaving foam on foil to mark make with and explored mixing colours. We have enjoyed exploring the bug small world and information books.  In the number area we have been exploring the numicon with water beads and tweezers. We loved the feel of the water beads. 

This week we are going to be exploring and playing a variety of sports including swimming, football, hockey, basket ball and lots more. We have got our sponsored bike and scooter rides throughout the week. We have got a special surprise on Monday morning. On Friday afternoon we have dance day.

Hello everyone.....

 

Hi everyone,

We hope you have all had a great weekend despite the rainy weather.

Last week we enjoyed sharing the story of Dear Dinosaur at group time. A couple of groups have walked to the post box to post their special picture to a family member. We enjoyed looking and talking about all the things we could see in our local environment. We will be continuing with others group visiting the post box this week. From the oats and bears we played with the week before, we were interested in making flapjack. We took this idea and made flapjacks for our Dad's for Father's day. We learnt how to make flapjack and we added our chosen ingredients which were raisins, chocolate drops and apricots. We hope you all enjoyed our tasty treats.  We were amazing a writing our name on the gift tag and drawing a picture for our dads. On Tuesday we had PE with Mr Treble and we practiced some sport days running and egg and spoon races. We were amazing at working as a team and following an instruction. On Tuesday afternoon we made green frog powder and experimented what happened when you add bicarbonate of soda with lemon juice. On Thursday afternoon we enjoyed playing on the play trail and the big yellow slide. Throughout the week we have loved creating with the magnetic shapes and made some great homes for the teddies. We have been creating some great robots out of the large lego blocks outside. We are interested in robots and next week we are going to be exploring robots. We have been busy making birthday cakes with the playdough. In the water tray we have been exploring flowers and making flower soup. We have been exploring painting on perspex with cotton buds. 

This week we are going to be exploring robots through stories, using the rugged robots, making robot using junk modeling, dancing like a robot. We will also continue to visit the post box in small groups.

Hello everyone

Hi everyone,

WOW, what a beautiful sunny weekend we have had. We hope you have all had a great weekend enjoying the wonderful weather. 

Last week we listened to the story of The jolly postman along with other letter stories including Meerkat mail and Paddington's post. We have been creating special pictures to send to someone special in our family. A permission slip to walk to the postbox to post our special picture came home on Friday and if you were not in pre-school on Friday you will receive the letter when you are next in.We have also shared the story of the colour monster in small groups. On Tuesday afternoon we used cooking spices to paint with. We enjoyed smelling the different spices and creating pictures with them. We have also finished off our self portraits for the Pre-school Year 2 Tea Towel which you will be able order, more information to follow. Over the last two weeks during PE with Mr Treble we have been climbing the trees to rescue the ribbons. Mr Treble also set us the challenge of hiding the ribbons for our friends. On Wednesday with inspiration from the Paddington Post story we created our own maps .   We have enjoyed lots of outside play throughout the week. We created our own slide using the wooden planks down the slope  and also making ball runs with the guttering and pipes. We have been making lots of mud pies using different natural ingredients we have found. Throughout the week we have enjoyed playing with the oats and pretending to make porridge and flapjacks for the three bears. We experimented what happened when you add water to oats. Also we have been making play dough cakes with candles and numbers. We have enjoyed trying on different school uniforms in the role play area. 

This week we will be sharing the story of the Dinosaur letter and continuing to create our special pictures to post. We will be walking to the post box to post our special pictures. Also we will be making something special to bring home for Fathers day which is next Sunday.  From the story of The jolly postman we are going to make some green frog powder.
