Hello!


This week we have continued making up our activity bags, we have loved seeing all of the photos and videos.  We try to put out a bag as often as we can, we will email you when a new one is available.


Here are some more ideas that you might like to try at home.



Playing cards.
A simple household find that can be used in so many ways to promote number.
Bingo, snap, order 1-5 or 1-10, find two the same, turn over two cards which is more, which is less? Which card comes next in a sequence? So many possibilities!

Lids, lids and more lids!  We love lids at Pre-School

Kitchen Lid Treasure


 Collect some flowers and greenery, place in a small shallow bowl, half fill with water and place in some string with a knotted end into the water. Once ready stick in the freezer, as soon as it’s frozen fill to the brim with water, this will make sure the flowers are completely iced over. Remove from the freezer once frozen, pop off the bowl and hang from the string in some trees!

This activity is great for learning about soil and the marvellous little worms that make our soil healthy. To make a Wormery simply cut the top off a large clear bottle, fill with a layer of gravel and then alternating layers of sand and soil, on top of the last layer of soil add a few worms from the garden. Finally cover with some leaves or vegetable peelings like grated carrots for food. Keep moist with a few drops of water and watch the worms tunnel their way up and down.

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
