What's Happening at Pre-School w/c 03.07.23

 Hi Everyone,

Our topic for the next three weeks will be 'Summer Holiday's' and we have lots of holiday themed activities planned. 

This week our imaginative area will be turned into an Travel Agents and a beach area. We will have the sand pit available with buckets and spades and a ball pit pool. For messy play we will be playing in blue Gelli bath with sea creatures, and using beach themed sand moulds in the cloud dough. 

On creative we will be making sand castles, ice-creams using puffy paint, aeroplanes, painting with ice cubes and making ice-lollies that we will incorporate into our imaginative play next week. 

Outdoors we will have our boat water play set up and a rock pool in the investigation unit. 

We will be practicing our school leavers concert over the next couple of weeks too. 

The ladies will be busy beginning to write end of year reports for all children.

Sandiacre Scarecrow Festival 2023

 Sandiacre Scarecrow Festival Saturday 1st July- Sunday 2nd July.

All the children and staff have had lots of fun taking part in this event and making our Gruffalo Scarecrow!

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 20^th 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.

What's Happening at Pre-School w/c 12.06.23

 Hi Everyone,

This week's focus at pre-school will be maths, focusing on numbers. Can they sort objects according to their properties, match the correct number of objects to a given number, number recognition, number lining and much, much more. We have lots of activities planned to help promote these skills. 

We will be playing in shaving foam, with numbers. What numbers can the children find? Can we write the numbers in the shaving foam? We have our rocket number cards, pompom planets, stars and tweezers on the maths table. We will be making our own space rockets using playdough, kebab sticks and cheerio's. Can the children thread the correct number of cheerio's on the rocket depending on the number they are given? 

Our space theme topic also continues this week. We will be dancing with ribbons to some of our favourite space songs. On creative we will be block printing space rockets, bubble painting onto stars and planets, and making our very own 3D rockets from tubes.  

We will be attending the Long Eaton carnival on Saturday 17^th June. We will be having a play area and a children's tombola. So please come along and say hello 🙂
