Hello everyone....

 Hello everyone,

We hope you have all had a great weekend with your family and friends.

On Monday morning at group time we talked about staying safe in the sun. The children came up with great ideas of staying safe in the sun and are now sun safety superstars. We also watched a video called George the sun safe superstars. Here is a link to watch it at home. Sun safety video. We then made poster about staying safe in the sun to put up in the pre-school playground.  A group of children had PE and we practiced some sports day games. In the afternoon we did some junk modelling and we made emergency vehicles. 

On Tuesday we had kickboxing and we went on a monkey adventure. We have also been sticking our pictures, wow's and artwork into our magical achievement books. We had a special visitor (Theo's mum) come into preschool to talk about how to stay safe near water. In the afternoon some of us created our  invitations to send to our grandparents to invite them to our grandparents snack. We also made jelly for snack on wednesday afternoon. 

On Wednesday morning a group of children went to the care home for a sing song, story and yummy cakes Another group of children had PE and practiced some Sports day games. We also had a special visitor (Thea's dad) who is an opticianist. He came and talked to all of us about when we go and have our eyes tested.  In the afternoon we had a lovely time outside playing and some of us created our  invitations to send to our grandparents to invite them to our grandparents snack. 

On Thursday we had a special visitor come in. Emilia's Dad came in and talked about his job as a policeman. We got to try on lot's of police uniform and look at all the different equipment he uses. We also got to explore the police car.  

On Friday morning a group of us went to visit the postbox to post our invitation.

Throughout the week we have enjoyed constructing with the stickle brick, geomag, magnetic shapes and mini octagons.  In the number area we have been playing with the magnetic wands and numbers in shredded paper. We have enjoyed using the initial sounds pots by working out which pictures go in the correct initial sound pot. We have also enjoyed exploring colour mixing with primary colours. In the small world area we have been playing with the large teeth, toothbrushes and books. On our finger frenzy table this week we have been playing with the  the threading pens and boards and making lots of shapes and patterns. We have had the dolls house, fire station and hospital out on the floor in room 2. We have a shop as a role play area this half term.
