Pre-School Year 2: Hello everyone...

Hello everyone...

We hope you have all had a wonderful weekend in the wonderful sunshine with family and friends.

On Tuesday we explored the country of France. We learnt that French Flag, about French money, food, capital city, landmarks and some french words. For snack we enjoyed tasting some croissants, pain au chocolat and French brie. We were all great at trying something new. We also built the Eiffel Tower out of crates. In the afternoon we went over to the forest area and had a story in the shade along with Julia retelling the story of Goldilocks and the three bears with our help. We also had a great time exploring the forest school areas and the secret paths. We used clay and natural objects to make faces. We were all very creative. On Wednesday we practiced our sports day races including the egg and spoon, running, sack and hurdles race. We also saw how far we could throw a beanbag. In the afternoon we went to playtrail and created some great imaginative role play. On Thursday we had a special family member come in and we did a live zoom call with their Auntie in Australia. We learnt lots of great facts about Australia and tried some Australian food. We painted our own Australian flags and created some aboriginal art work. Imogen also bought in lots of yummy fruit to make fruit kebabs which we loved eating for snack. On Thursday afternoon a group of children had a great time going swimming. On Friday explored the country of India. We created our own Indian Flags and Henna art. We also learnt a Bollywood dance. For lunch we had a special visit from one of our families with an Indian curry and rice along with pudding. We were amazing at trying some of curry, rice and puddling. We have enjoyed constructing with the stickle brick, wooden transparent shapes, pebbles and teddy bears and Duplo animals. In the number area we have been sorting different english coins and talking about how much they are worth. We have been mark making with baby lotion and q tips. On our finger frenzy table this week we have been use the threading pens and coloured strings to make patterns and shapes. In the water tray we have had magnetic fish, fishing rods and nets. We have had great fun playing with the shaving foam ice cream. In our role play we have had a under the sea and a ice-cream role play shop.
