What's Happening at Pre-School w/c 13.05.24

 Hi Everyone,

We begin our new topic this week all about different kinds of transport. Our focus will be on the children's Personal, Social and Emotional development. 

We will be playing with all kinds of vehicles in all areas of our playroom, indoors and out. We will have construction vehicles with gravel, drainpipes, wooden blocks and hard hats. We will be playing with the brio train track and we will be using the mega blocks to build our own tunnels. 

In the creative area we will be playing with boats in water with different float and sink objects. We will have shaving foam in the messy play tray with numbered planes to find. We will be making different patterns and tracks on the creative table and making different vehicles out of 2D shapes. 

We will be promoting the children's PSE development with lots of activities that encourage turn taking, sharing and waiting their turn. We will be having discussions about different emotions and we will use our emotion cards to help the children draw their self-portraits.

Outdoors we will be using drainpipes and loose parts to see if we can make ramps for our cars, using chalked numbers to see how far we can make them go! We will have our emergency houses, vehicles and dressing up outside for the children to use in their role-play, as well as resources to explore space travel...which planet will we discover in our space rocket. 

It's 'bring your parent' to school morning on Thursday for all those children that attend a Thursday morning session, 9.15am- 10.15am. A chance for your children to show you what they get up to at pre-school and a chance for you to have a chat with your child's keyworker too. We look forward to seeing you there.

What's Happening at Pre-school 29.04.24

 Hi Everyone,

We start our new topic this week which will be based around one of our favourite stories 'Handa's Surprise'. We will be learning about where we live and where Handa lives. The weather in different countries, how we might travel to different places. We will be tasting different fruit from the story at snack time and children will also get a chance to act the story out too! Our topic will help to support our new focus which will be on gross motor development, healthy eating and exercise. 

In our physical area we will be using a variety of different resources so that the children can practice their gross motor skills. We will have balls, bats, stilts, the trampoline, bean bags, balance beams, seesaws and much more. During our movement time we will be doing aerobics to music. 

For our small world play we will be creating a safari tray with sand, straw and jungle animals. We will have fruit counters, tweezers and basket number cards on the maths table. We will be practicing both our gross motor and fine motor skills in the water tray, using kitchen tongs to catch balls and put them down a drain pipe. In the messy play tray, we will be playing in sand moose, with a variety of different tools. 

On creative we will continue learning all about patterns by making different themed safari animal paper plates. Whose marks belong to who? We will be fruit printing using the fruits from the 'Handa Surprise' story and also having a go at painting and drawing our own pictures of the fruit too!
