The children have been really enjoying the book The Little Red Hen. Through this book the children have learnt about sharing and taking turns as well as being kind. The children also enjoyed making bread rolls together. We also had lots of fun making firework pictures too.
Our water is back on at the hall so we will now be able to open!
Good morning, as I’m sure many of you are aware we have no water in the village at the moment. This is thought to be due to a fault at the power station. Unfortunately we are unable to open pre school if there is no water, as the children cannot use the toilets, wash hands or get fresh drinking water.
If the water does come back on soon we will endeavour to open and will keep you all updated.
Best wishes
Sophie
Don’t forget that tomorrow is an inset day for pre school and we will be back to normal on Tuesday. We hope you’ve all had a lovely half term!
This morning we will be having a race track morning and invite children to bring their own ride ons/scooters into pre school. Don’t worry if you can’t as we have lots at pre school for the children to use. See you soon!
Today we joined the ‘RSPB Let Nature Sing Takeover’ bringing bird song to millions of people around the UK. At preschool we talked about birds, where they live and what they eat. Yesterday we made bird feeders in preparation for today. The children listened to the bird song on the RSPB app and used their imaginations role playing at being birds swooping and flying. If you would like to get involved and support the RSPB project please look at their Facebook page or http://www.rspb.org.uk
We are always looking to embrace the amazing things our children do and one of the ways we have decided to do this is by having a Wow Wall for the children to display their work. We would love it if you came and had a look when you drop off and talk to your children about their work.
We also have a new Parents Information board and will keep this updated with Pre School information and information from West Sussex County Council.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful vegetables we had today! Look how much fun we had making and eating our own soup and toast! The children enjoyed chopping and preparing and learning about the different vegetables. They then buttered their own toast. They do this a lot at pre school and have all been doing so well!
