Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post. 
Thank you for all the donations, help and support with strawberry fayre yesterday.  We raised an impressive £600!  We have a few more cakes to sell outside Pre-School today, please pop down and make a donation.
In Class 2 this week we have been making fruit salad, decorating our invitations for the afternoon tea (please check trays), practising for sports day, music and movement, making playdough, playing listening games and exploring clay with water at Forest School.  Today we also moved the caterpillars into the net and will need to wait 14 sleeps for the butterflies!

In Class 1 this week we have created a snake world small world due to an interest in snakes. The children found out what snakes eat and where some snakes live. On Monday we made vegetable sausage rolls with a variety of filling choices to choose from.  The children have some an interest in playing games, they have asked for the shopping list game which supports turn taking and the sound game which supports listening skills. On Thursday morning the children had the opportunity to play in class 2, enabling them to get to know the class 2 staff and find out what resources are in that room. Today in forest school the children could choose to create a picture from leaves, this is called 'Happazone' - the children use a hammer to imprint the leaf on a piece of cotton. This afternoon the children have been outside in the sandpit burying each others feet and exploring ice and food colouring. 

Please join us for our Thomley Hall trip on Wednesday, please remember that Pre-School will be closed.

Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.   This week we have added 20 eggs to our incubator and we now need to wait 21 sleeps (approximately) for them to hatch! Class 2 have started planting, if you can donate any seeds or plants please take an item from the wish list (on Class 1’s garden fence).   We also have a new water table and the children have been exploring this.   Some of the children wanted to find out more about nocturnal animals and used the iPad.   We also found ladybirds in the garden and added them to the bug hotel. In Class 1 the children have been role playing as fire fighters, they used spray bottles filled with water to put out the fire. They have also measured how tall the sweet peas have grown. Tomorrow the staff team will be attending Helicopter Stories training with Trisha Lee from make believe arts.   Caroline has already attended training with Trisha and the children in Class 2 enjoy making up their own stories to act out on ‘stage’.   So

Hello and welcome to this week’s blog post.   T his week we have been counting down the days waiting for the eggs to hatch.  We now need to wait 14 sleeps (approximately). Today we had a visit from some lambs and the children from both classes had an opportunity to meet them. Class 2 have some new tadpoles and the children have been watching them eat the lettuce we have fed them.  Earlier in the week, some of the children found mint in the garden and wanted to use it in the mud kitchen.  We then provided some mint in the classroom for the children to explore with scissors and mix with various media.  The children have been making pirate maps using teabags and using chalks to make marks in the garden.  We experimented with raisins and sparkling water to make the raisins dance and the children have worked together to make a river in the sand pit.  On Monday we went to the school hall for music and movement and we have spent a lot of time outside in the sunshine.  We have plan
