Autumn Term Week 7

Our last week at pre-school has been a bit rainy but we have persevered and enjoyed outside activities as often as we could! We had obstacle courses and games and a big sand area to explore.

Inside we have set up a lovely little cafe role play, with afternoon tea available and birthday parties to enjoy too. We have made doughnuts and cinnamon rolls from salt dough using real spices and real sprinkles and have sold these in the cafe.

We have been learning about being independent at circle times, teeth brushing, sleep, healthy foods and exercise – leaping around to different movement games and measuring our heart rates.  The Star children also cut up their own snacks and learnt about hand washing to get rid of germs. Lots of action songs and story times inside to support good language development and lots of children have enjoyed pumpkin craft and exploration ahead of Halloween during half term!

We also learnt about Diwali in circle time as this is one of the celebrations that families at pre-school enjoy, we heard some amazing fireworks on Tuesday evening in the town while Andrea, Eva and I were attending evening first aid training here!

As we move towards the end of this half term we are really pleased with how the children have settled and will look forward to returning for our lead up to Christmas! We hope you all have a lovely half term break and that you all stay safe and happy and healthy.
