Monday 19th – Friday 23rd June

A good week this week, a little hot at times but the children are all coping well, the children don’t stop once they get into Pre-school so they have done really well. Please make sure to apply suncream at all times, the UV is still very high and saves the staff time to start the day. Small reminder that snack AM and PM are to be fruit or veg only, clearly labelled and in packed lunch boxes. Thank to parents who have been including an ice pack, it really does make a difference. Please give you child water in their bottles and we can then refill them as and when throughout the day.

We have looked at the letter “I”, lots of ice playing, making ice creams with play dough and ice cream cones, this was very much enjoyed by all the children.

At the black pod the children have enjoyed chalking, den making and hair dressers. Hammers and nails as a sit down activity has been enjoyed and they really do look after their nails and listen to the rules around the activity. We have been looking at what we would like to do when we are older.

Next week we will be looking at the letter “J” and will be making some jelly!

To remind you, the sports and graduation will be on Wednesday 19th July, join us for a picnic with teddy bears and sports day.

Sept 2022 – Welcome back!

We have been excited to welcome the children back to the setting this week.

We have started our time looking at the topic  “All about me”,
Helen and Zoe have been busy over the summer revamping the setting , purchased some new items with fundraising money , the outside class room has been revamped so lots of exciting things to enjoy by all!
Committee members have been sprucing up the garden so we have been able to have lots of fun inside and out.
It has been good to see many of our leavers settling into the school next door well, we miss them but are proud that we are able to transition them into school settings so smoothly!
The Preschool is run by a committee, primarily of parents of those in preschool. It would be wonderful to have input from as many parent as possible, please talk to Helen or a member of the committee for more information.
The term will run from the 5th to Friday 21st October
