Autumn Term Week 8

Welcome back after half term – we hope you all had some lovely family fun in the holidays and please do add pictures to tapestry for your key person to see! We have seen some really nice pictures and the children love to look at themselves!

Our circle times this week have been really settled and fun, we have concentrated on learning all about fire safety ahead of Bonfire Night and there has been a lot of glitter and paint around pre-school while we have made some wonderful firework pictures.

The info from you all on the favourite characters has been great – we had a huge response and so many different ideas! We have used some in our learning this week and we will continue next week too, using the characters they love to inspire their learning.

The Vet role play has also been a real hit! We have lots of children who are keen vets and receptionists! Our sun table has had a shape focus to help us plan further activities for learning and we have loved looking at all of the Disney photos and Peppa Pig World pics too!

The Forest School groups have swapped over – Moon group on a Thursday and Sun group on a Friday.

We have football with Alfie starting on Monday for the Sun and Moon groups which will be a lovely experience and we will continue with ball skills over the next week outside as well, adding in giant skittles, balloon tennis and more football.

We will be supporting Children In Need on Friday by wearing bright colours and encourage all the children to come in bright colours for the day too! Please make a donation if you can into the Pudsey jar in reception over the week. This charity has supported us with a project a number of years ago so it is a day that we really like to support.

Our new committee have also been busy and have booked a Christmas Bingo date! Saturday 6th December at the Town Hall – tickets available from the pre-school office and we hope it will be a super busy night raising money for a new wobbly bridge for our children!
