Summer Term Week 4

We are now full for September 2022! We can’t believe it but things do often change around at the last minute but we are very surprised to be so busy this year. Please do encourage anyone you know who may want to come to complete a registration form so that they can be placed on our waiting list.

our week has been full of weddings and party celebrations and there have been some wonderful photos from our construction play outside. Large scale construction is brilliant for imaginative play and solving problems and conflict when working together in a small space that you have made!

We have also been playing games outside and have only had the bikes out a few times – we have followed a long line to develop our balance, we have been tyre rolling, scooping and carrying balls with ladles, painting the fence and obstacle courses with lots of climbing.

The Star group have been planting peas for our garden and have enjoyed lots of physical exercises and a feely box, guessing the objects in it and paying listening and attention games.

The Sun and Moon groups have swapped over and Suns are going into the circle time first at the moment while the Moons enjoy some free play before snack and have their circle time after snack. They have learnt about clothes from around the world, adding some amazing drawings to Andrea’s display. They have also done some planting choosing from different seeds, talking about the size and colours of the seeds and our cress is already growing! Music from around the world and some brilliant hula hoop skills and talking about feelings have all contributed to a busy week of learning.

We have really enjoyed welcoming parents to the Forest School sessions and the groups have loved the Bear Hunt theme.

Next week we will be having two Jubilee tea parties for the children – please send them in wearing red/white/blue or a combination or just in usual pre school blue! We will be doing face paints and having a street party with games in the garden, dancing and then our snack street party style along our path for a change (with the gate firmly locked)!

Donations wise we would love any lollipop sticks you can buy at Tesco in the craft section, plain paper plates, rice, any jubilee celebration party items you see around and doilies please!
