Summer Term Week 10

We have started to welcome our new children to pre-school with session visits happening! This is a really exciting time for us and for the new families – and the current cohort are always super nosy, coming to say hello!

We have been learning about animals this week as the lovely Marie from Animals 2 U is coming on Friday this week and Thursday next week for the school starter groups. This is a lovely experience and a real treat for the children. We will load the photos onto Tapestry for you to see after each visit.

Outside we have had our lovely home corner and the mud kitchen out! Lots of very muddy children who have had a wonderful time making mud pies!

Our circle times have been based on learning about our world – with a focus on taking care of the planet and the animals and habitats that exist on it.

The star group have been making an ocean habitat, sorting animals into land, sea and ice habitats, making animal sensory trays and singing lots of animal songs and animal boogie dancing!

The Sun and Moons have drawn animals and habitats, looked up different animals and learnt about which live in the rainforest and which live on plains, they have watched a few videos of animals in their habitats, sorted them and also learnt about weather and there are some lovely videos of weather forecasting on Tapestry!

There will be fewer photos this week and next I’m afraid as we finish the special books for the school starters and have those ready for graduation.

We have also been reading some fairy tales, created some lovely animal craft including lions and turtles, panda’s and parrots!

Next week we will continue to learn about our world, adding in all the areas of learning – we will learn about the planet, dance around the world, music around the world, food and stories and communities and animals!
