April 2022
In April, the children in Pre-School were so excited to see their classroom transform into outer Space! We had a space station and a spaceship that allowed us to explore all the planets in the solar system. The children decided that Earth is the best place to live as the other planets were either too hot or too cold.
We looked at some non-fiction books that had lots of information about space and enjoyed reading stories such as The Smeds and The Smoos, The Way Back Home and Aliens Love Underpants.
We read The Colour Monster and found out how to talk about our feelings and how we can help others to be happy by being kind.
In Maths we have been looking at 2D and 3D shapes, we made space pictures with shapes and large 2D and 3D models outside using natural materials.
PE in the hall twice a week has been one of our favourite activities, and we are doing very well practicing our fundemental skills. Our PE lessons have been spaced themed and we have enjoyed walking, jumping, hopping, and skipping on the moon!
During our music lessons we have been looking at finding the beat in music and playing musical instruments, we love the welcome and goodbye songs as we get to sing our friends names.
We have spent a lot of time becoming more independent, we have been practicing putting on our own coats, cutting our food at lunch by using a knife and fork and putting on our own pumps for PE.
We have been practicing our fine motor skills with activities such as playdough, threading, and finger gym. This is helping us to begin writing our names.
Kandinsky was the name of the Artist we looked at this month, we learnt all about how he uses shapes to make his pictures look like other things, we made our own Kandinsky style pictures to look like rocket ships in Space.
We have had so much fun in Pre-School in April, bring on May!
de a bauble to decorate. There was lots of glitter and sparkle. Pre-School were so excited about Christmas and couldn’t wait to see if they got a special visit from the North Pole.
During the month of October, Pre-school have been very busy! We started off focusing on the role of the vet, gaining an understanding of what they do to help animals feel better when they’re poorly. We discussed how to look after and care for animals in daily life, ensuring they have food and water everyday and exercise to keep healthy. The children got very involved in this topic and shared photos of their own pets at home. 🐶🐱🐹🐭
Nursery have settled really well during the month of September and have really enjoyed looking at the topic of ‘Our Wonderful World’. The children have particularly enjoyed lots of creative activities, for example, play dough crafts, construction sites, creating their very own scarecrows and creating our first ever Nursery pictures to take home with us. The children have really enjoyed playing outside on the new EYFS climbing frame and balance bikes and listening to lots of different stories. The children have enjoyed printing different patterns using their fingertips and exploring the different areas in the Nursery classroom environment.
