On Monday we made biscuits and went for a walk around the village. We went to the church and did wax rubbings on the different textures and then collected lots of autumn bits to bring back to pre school. On Tuesday we went to the harvest festival with the school. The children were all amazing and made us very proud! On Wednesday the children made their own sandwiches for snack time and coach Ollie came in. On Thursday we had lots of fun dressing up and looking at the hungry caterpillar.

Tomorrow we will be taking the children to church during pre school. The church are collecting items for the Foodbank so if you have any tins or packets you would like to donate we will take them with us!

We’ve been having so much fun at pre school! We’ve been enjoying lots of messy play and autumnal crafts as well as making trains with the chairs and playing in the home corner.

We’ve been making the most of the lovely weather and spending lots of time outside. Were especially enjoying our new tunnel and outside reading area.

Coach Ollie is back with us again this term on Wednesdays as I’m sure you’ve all heard! When we do our days of the week and weather chart they always know that Wednesday is coach Ollie day.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our first day back! We’re really excited to see everyone and hope you’ve all had a lovely summer! 

This Thursday will be our day at pre school for the term and we will be having a party. All the children are welcome to come from 8.45am or to come at 10.30am. The party will start at 10.30am and we invite all parents to come then too. We will do food at around 11.30am. Thank you in advance for all you generous donations of food for the party! 

In this hot weather please could you send your children to pre school with sun cream already applied and sun hats. The UV rating at the moment is often high so this is very important. 

Next week is our last week! On Thursday we will be having a party at pre school! Everyone is welcome and a food list will go up on the door today. 

We’ve started a new project with some of the students from Philpots school and their Forest School teacher Tom, building a tunnel for our garden. This week we helped them to strip the leaves from bamboo and start to weave it. We will be doing this with them on Mondays at pre school. The children are all very excited about the project!

With the big rolls of white paper we’ve been having fun drawing around each other and colouring them in! 

I’m sure you’ve all heard that the chicks have started hatching at big school so we went for a walk on Wednesday to visit them and see the first 3 that were born.

What a fun week we’ve had this week! The children worked in pairs to get from one side of the room to the other using mats and without touching the floor. They worked really well together and did a great job!

We’ve had lots of fun in the garden this week and are so excited to be able to pick our strawberries! 

We’ve been enjoying making music and as usual our Little Kickers session with coach Ollie was great fun!

I wanted to say a huge great big thank you to everyone that came, helped, cheered etc at sports day. The children were all incredible and made us very proud! Thank you all the amazing cakes and for your donations. We raised a brilliant £55.03. We sadly didn’t manage to get any photos so if you’re happy to share could you send them to whpsadmissions@gmail.com thank you!

Today at school we had a brilliant time. The children were absolutely fantastic. We spent a lot of time outside playing in the sand, the role play area, on the climbing frame and on the ride ons. We played puzzles and games, did our counting songs and had stories.

The cygnets stayed for their first hot lunch and they all really enjoyed it. After lunch we went to play outside with the big children and then spent the rest of the afternoon in the hedgehog classroom. (The reception classroom).

Today we gave the children all the ingredients to make sandwiches and with very little assistance they made their own! It was lots of fun and as you can imagine, we had some interesting combinations!
