What's Happening at Pre-school w/c 20.11.23

 Hi Everyone,

This week we start our new topic which will be all about Autumn. We will be talking about what happens outdoors during Autumn time, we will be exploring different Autumn objects and learning about Autumn animals too. On creative we will be printing with leaves, making hedgehogs, conker rolling and much, much more. 
Our focus of the week will be on length/height and weight/capacity. To support our focus our story of the week will be 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. For our messy play this week we will be using different sized bowls and spoons to fill and empty with porridge oats. We will be exploring capacity in the water tray too by filling and emptying different sized containers.  We will be weighing different autumn objects using our bucket scales and we will be exploring measure by using, tape measures, rulers, measuring worms and counting cubes. 
We will also be singing some of our favourite Autumn songs and experimenting moving like different Autumn animals during our movement time. 
Thursday afternoon we will be having a visit from the Police, who will be coming to talk with the children and show us around a Police van. 
A fun packed week ahead!

What's Happening at Pre-School w/c 13th November 2023

 Hi Everyone,

Our 'People who helps us' topic continues this week. Although our focus has been on the fire and police service, on Tuesday afternoon this week, we will be having a visit from the dentist. They will be doing a short talk with the children, promoting the importance of why we need to brush our teeth and visit the dentist. 
Our focus of the week will be on Technology. The children will have the opportunity to explore different technology toys, finding out how things work and what they are used for. 
👗There is still time to purchase your tickets if you would like to come along to our fundraising fashion show on Thursday night. Your support as always will be very much appreciated in helping to raise much needed funds for pre-school 👗

What's Happening at pre-school w/c 6.11.23

 Hi Everyone, 

We hope you all had a lovely half term break and we are looking forward to welcoming all the children back to pre-school. 

Our topic for the next two weeks will be ‘People who help us’ focusing mainly on the police and fire service.

To start our new topic off we will hopefully be getting a visit from the fire service on Monday morning. They will be coming into pre-school to talk to the children about fire safety and give them all a chance to look around a fire engine too. 

We will be turning our role play area into a police station. We will be playing with our fire station and fire trucks on the small world table and taking part in lots of topic related activities in our creative area. 

Our focus of the week will be on the children’s understanding. Can they follow simple instructions? Can they follow instructions containing two or more parts? Do they understand positional language and are they able to use it too? 

🍁Please remember to fill and return your Autumn collection bags over the next couple of weeks ready for our next topic which will be all about Autumn 🍁 

👗We only have a couple of weeks left until our fundraising fashion show. There is still time to purchase your tickets if you would like to come along. Your support as always will be very much appreciated in helping to raise much needed funds for pre-school 👗
