This week at preschool the children have enjoyed a dinosaur themed week. They have explored a dinosaur ‘swamp’, made and painted salt dough dinosaur fossils, been on a dinosaur hunt and much more!

Our topic this week was construction. We had lots of fun pretending to be builders and playing with shaving foam to cement bricks together and dug and move cornflakes with our diggers and trucks. All using hard hat helmets of course for safety!

FOOTBALL

We had our new coach Tom in this week to play some football and have some fun. All of the children really enjoyed themselves and joined in.

Forest School

This week we had our first forest school with Mrs Hasan in the schools woodland over the road from Preschool. The children had a wonderful time running in the fields, exploring the woods, searching for insects and even playing with a baby frog. We all needed some hot milk and a biscuit when we got back to Preschool!

Thank you all for filling out your Famly forms out so promptly. We are hoping to get this all up and running next week. This is going to be a great tool for us all to use and we are so glad that you are on onboard with it.

Next Weeks Topic

Next week we will be looking at Dinosaurs. We know that we have a lot of dinosaurs experts at Preschool so please feel free to bring in any dinosaur toys, books or games to share with us.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND

Please don’t forget that if you have any questions or queries about anything we are always to help x

Today at preschool we spoke to the children about the queen. They each made a card to remember her and we walked to the church to place our cards and a flower each at the condolence table. The children did lovely walking and remembered to use their quiet voices and walking feet in the church. Some of the children were particularly interested in the stained glass windows.

Thank you

We hope that you have all had an amazing summer and we can not wait to hear all about it!

On Monday we went to our last Forest School of the year.  It was a very hot day but we spent the morning in the shade of the trees quickly going out to water the trees we’ve previously planted.​​

​

It was so great to welcome parents and relatives back to Sports Day this year!
