Hello everyone...

Hello everyone,

We hope you have all had an amazing weekend. 

Last week we had a great time exploring a variety of sports. On Monday we watched the extreme mountain bike show. The children enjoyed watching the amazing stunts including jumping on to the top of the van roof. When we got back to pre-school we made our own ramps and jumps which the children enjoyed using the balance bikes on. On Monday, Thursday and Friday the children loved their swimming session. It was lovely to see all the children so confident in the water. We had so much fun playing and splashing in the water. On Tuesday we had a mini sports day during our PE session with Mr Treble. We did some team games including egg and spoon race, running race, balancing a bean bag on head race and a relay the race. The children worked great as a team, taking turns and following instructions. We all got a medal at the end. On Tuesday afternoon we played football and scored lots of goals. We also did some ball marbling with paint. There were some great ball skills. On Wednesday morning we had the photographer in to take our class photo. There will be more information to follow on how to order a class photo. After our photo we enjoyed playing on the playtrail and climbing in the trees. We have some great tree climbers. In the afternoon we learnt how to play uni hock. On Friday afternoon we had dance day and we were all amazing at taking part and doing the actions to the songs. Throughout the week we have been doing our sponsored bike-a-thon. It was amazing to see how confident the children were on their scooters and bikes and they did a great number of laps each. Certificates for this will be coming home next week. Thank you all for the sponsorship money. A couple of groups went to the post box this week to post their special picture. 

A group of children had great fun exploring the planks of wood and making see saws. First they used themselves on each end and then experimented what happened when you put a ball on the end and jump and then they used a bucket of water on the end which they loved finding out what happened. 

Here are some pictures of the week....

This week  we are going to be exploring dragons through a variety of activities. We will be sharing some dragon themed stories throughout the week. Also we are going to do some dragon science, make our own shields, make a castle outside and lots more based on the children's interests. If you have any large boxes at home we would love them. 

Home learning challenge

Can you make a dragon out of different materials?

Notices

As the weather is 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. 

We are so proud of the progress all the children have made throughout the year and we hope you enjoyed reading your child's report which highlights their achievements and successes. We would appreciate it if you could fill in and return your ‘ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021 - FEEDBACK FORM’ ASAP.
