Bunyan pre-school

🌟 What an amazing term it has been! 🌟

We have had such a busy and exciting few weeks at preschool, filled with learning, creativity, and lots of fun!

We started the term celebrating Chinese New Year, learning about traditions and exploring different cultures. 🧧
From there, we went on a wild adventure discovering jungle animals 🐒🐅 and all the wonderful creatures that live there.

For World Book Day, we brought stories to life with “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” – the children absolutely loved joining in the adventure! 📚🐻

We also took time to celebrate some very special occasions, including Mother’s Day, where the children created lovely surprises for their mums 💐.

We have learned all about doctors and how they help us 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️.

Our celebrations continued with St Patrick’s Day, Global Recycling Day, Eid, and Oral Health Day, helping the children learn about the world around them and how to take care of themselves and our planet 🌍♻️🦷.

To finish off the term, we enjoyed lots of fun Easter activities, full of creativity, colour, and excitement 🐣🌸.

✨ Thank you to all our wonderful children and families for making this term so special. We hope you all have a lovely break, and we can’t wait to see you next term for more adventures! ✨

We can’t believe the first half of the Spring term has already come to an end! 🌱

Over the past few weeks, the children have been busy exploring and learning through a range of exciting activities. We began by learning all about winter, cold weather, and seasonal changes, with lots of hands-on activities to support learning through play.

We then explored animals and the Antarctic, learning about animals that live in cold environments. This was followed by learning about dark and light, night and day, helping the children understand daily routines and changes in the world around them.

After that, we explored the Winter Olympics, where the children took part in fun, active activities, working together as a team and showing lots of enthusiasm.

Alongside our topic work, we also focused on wellbeing and feelings, supporting the children to recognise emotions, talk about how they feel, and show kindness and care towards one another.

We finished the term on a lovely note by learning all about love and friendship for Valentine’s Day, celebrating kindness, sharing, and caring for our friends ❤️

Thank you to all our families for your continued support. We wish everyone a happy and relaxing half term! 🌟

🎄✨ Christmas Fun at Preschool! ✨🎄

Over the last few weeks, our preschool has been full of Christmas magic and festive learning!

The children enjoyed taking part in lots of exciting activities, including exploring the story of The Gingerbread Man – where they even had a go at making and baking their own gingerbread 🍪. We also explored the much-loved Stick Man story, inspiring creativity, imagination and plenty of fun along the way 🌲.

We finished our festive celebrations with a wonderful Christmas party, full of smiles, music and joy 🎉🎅.

Thank you to all our children and families for making this such a special and memorable time. We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ❤️✨

🎆 This week at preschool... 🎆
We have been learning all about Bonfire Night! The children had so much fun creating firework-inspired artwork — colourful firework paintings . Children explored colours, shapes, and patterns as we talked about the bright fireworks lighting up the sky.

❤️ We also learned about poppies and their meaning, taking time to talk about remembrance. The children made their own beautiful poppy creations and worked together to make a lovely poppy wreath, which we placed under Kempston Memorial Cross to show our respect and remembrance.

It’s been a wonderful week full of creativity, learning, and reflection! 🌟

🎃✨ What a wonderful end to the term! ✨🎃

We have finished another lovely term with lots of fun during our Halloween-themed days! The children had a fantastic time enjoying creative crafts, sensory play, dressing up, and spooky stories. It’s been amazing to see so many smiles, imagination, and enthusiasm throughout the week.

Wishing all our families a restful half-term break! 🍂💛

✨ Over the past three days, we have been learning all about Diwali – the Festival of Lights! ✨
The children had the opportunity to listen to the story of Diwali, create beautiful rangoli patterns, decorate diyas, try out mehndi designs, and explore the meaning of light, kindness, and togetherness. 🌟
They loved taking part in all the colourful, creative, and sensory activities as we celebrated this special festival! 🪔💛

🌟 Happy Diwali! 🪔
Wishing all our families who are celebrating a very Happy Diwali!
May the festival of lights bring joy, peace, and prosperity to your homes. ✨

🌍✨ This week we celebrated National Space Week! 🚀
Our little astronauts had an amazing time exploring the wonders of space — learning about planets, stars, and rockets through exciting, hands-on activities. 🌙🪐
Zoom, zoom, zoom… we’re going to the moon! 💫
It’s been a week full of curiosity, imagination, and discovery! 🌟

✨ The first month back is already behind us – and wow, it flew by! ✨
The children have settled beautifully and we’ve been keeping busy with so many exciting activities. From learning all about me, exploring our homes and families, discovering our local community, enjoying nature walks, and much more – it’s been a wonderful start to the term. 💛🌿

The beautiful weather has made it even better, giving us plenty of opportunities to enjoy outdoor play! ☀️🌈

We can’t wait to see what the next months will bring! 🌟
