What's Happening at Pre-School w/c 19.06.23

 Hi Everyone,

Our topic for the next two weeks will be all about Dinosaurs. We will be incorporating one of our favourite science experiments into some of our activities, playing with vinegar and bicarb to see what happens when they are mixed together. We will be making a dinosaur swamp, with lots of natural resources to play with and explore. In the sand tray and water tray we will be digging for fossils, in the water tray we will be playing with ice cubes with dinosaurs frozen in them and we will be using paint brushes to find dinosaurs hidden in the sand. 
Our focus of the week will be on shape, space and measure. We will be taping different shapes on the floor; can the children use the blocks to follow the lines to make the shapes? We will be learning shape names and talking about their properties. Joining the dinosaurs in the water tray we will have different sized containers, exploring volume and capacity. We will be using our outdoor scales and table top bucket scales to weigh different natural objects. We will also be using the counting cubes to measure how long/short different things are.
Tuesday 20th June is our photo morning. 
All children who attend the Tuesday morning session will have their photo taken unless told otherwise by their parents. All children moving onto big school with also have a graduation photo taken. 
If your child doesn't normally attend a Tuesday morning session and you wish for them to have their photo taken or if they have a sibling that you would like a photograph with, please come down between 10-10.30am. Please advise if this is something you would like to do.
A busy week ahead, but lots of fun.

Many Thanks
