Weeks ending 13th September 2024

Welcome to the start of our new year at preschool! We have loved meeting all of the new children, and hearing about the summer holidays of all our returning children. 

Our love of reading book these weeks has been 'Dinosaurs Love Underpants' so we have had lots of dinosaur themed games/toys/pictures out. The children enjoy colouring in dinosaur and underpants pictures, and showed us their giant stomps and roars in P.E. We also played with the parachute and everyone was great at taking turns. Well done!

Thankyou to everyone for supporting us through our move this term. To all those going up to school or elsewhere, thank you for letting us look after your wonderful children! To those returning, we look forward to seeing you again in September!

Weeks ending 19th July 2024

The words of the week have been Letters, and School/Teachers! The children have been making real and nonsense words with our magnetic letters, and roleplaying being school children and teachers with our uniforms.

As it's the end of the year, we've had lots of extra fun things out, such as different coloured playdough, and the children have helped choose what they have wanted to play with-from barbies to skylanders!

In P.E. we did races and tried out a new egg and spoon race (we were brilliant!) and then the children picked our all time favourite-the parachute-for the second week. In Acorn Patch we have been exploring and digging, and we got lucky and saw lots of butterflies and moths up close. We brought our teddies to snack for a teddy bear picnic and had to watch out that they didn't sneak a bite of our food. 

Pre-school move

The pre-school adults have been busy moving all of the toys into the new room and making it look lovely for us to come back into after half term. We have managed to fit all of our things in the room and the builders are going to help Mr Robinson move all of our outdoor things in half term so that it will all be ready for us. Mrs Arlott, Mrs Smith and Miss Lin were lucky enough today to see a dumper and a digger arriving and the builders have said that they are looking forward to letting our pre-schoolers have a look around them and the other equipment that will be coming soon, apparently there will even be a crane. We have taken some photos to share with your children to help with their transition into the new area and we look forward to seeing you after half term.
