Welcome to Preschool!

Our curious children in preschool are on an amazing learning journey, and we’re excited to share their weekly adventures with you! From imaginative play to developing early literacy, early maths, and building friendships, every day is filled with new discoveries and growth.

Check in regularly to see what fun and exciting things your children have been exploring and learning!

Week Commencing 23 September 2024:

This week in pre-school the children have been learning about our feelings. We have been reading the story ‘The Colour Monster’ and making faces to match our feelings. 

In the art area we have been exploring colour mixing. We have been learning that red and yellow make orange, blue and red make purple and yellow and blue make green. The children have really enjoyed mixing paint with their hands, describing how it feels and using their fingers to make marks. 

Our rhyme of the week was ‘Miss Polly Had A Dolly’ 

Week Commencing 16 September 2024: 

This week in pre-school the children have been learning more about the ‘Chinese Festival of the Harvest Moon’ by using circular cutters to make moons in the sparkly white playdough. 

 In the maths area we have been building towers. How many blocks?  

We have also been threading with circular beads and counting how many we have put on a thread.   

In the exploration area we have been exploring treasure baskets with a range of natural autumn materials.  

Our rhyme of the week was ‘Row, row, row your boat’.
