Blagdon Pre School

This week has been a very windy and rainy week at Blagdon preschool.
We have made good use of our all-in-ones and wellie boots to get outside as much as we can.
As Monday was ocean day, we have had some ocean/sea creature activities set up throughout the week where the children can explore, giving them an opportunity to talk and ask questions about the world around them.
The children made a minty playdough and with the help of the sand-timer, took turns to cook their creations it in the playdough oven.
We have been learning a new poem 'five little peas.'
One child set up a hairdressers, which as a hit with everyone!
This week Nikkita used the story 'Dear Zoo' for yoga, we followed along with lots of animal poses.
Have a fab weekend, see you next week

We have had a lovely start to term 6, although the weather has not be great!
The children asked to revisited lots of activities this week, the pizza game, diggers in the tuff tray and building obstacle courses. They also had a great time role playing in their boat (the wooden box with the brush holder as a mast). On Friday Nikkita came in to do yoga through storytelling with the children.
See you next week.

This week is the last week of term 5 and it has been very busy.
At the start of the week we played outside in the rain, and had hot chocolates to warm us up. Today, we have been playing in the cold water to keep us cool.
Have a lovely half term, we will see you all on Tuesday 2nd June, (Monday is an inset day)

Other busy week here at Preschool.
The chocolate mud was a favourite, we repeated it throughout as the children asked for it. We planted sunflowers and played the shopping list game. The older children are beginning to grow their focus, attention and turn taking skills through these games, which are all signs of school readiness.
See you next week for our last week of term 5!

This week has just flown past. We had some lovely chats with the children about what they did over the bank holiday weekend. Remember to email pictures to us if your children would like to 'show and tell' them. Its great to share experiences with the group and builds confidence talking in front of others.
Here are some pictures over the last week. We had a nice chat about David Attenborough on his birthday, lots of outside water and mud play, big messy paintings and a lovely walk.
See you next week

This week we have been looking at how things grow. We looked for seeds in fruits and vegetables and then planted them. We have fun in the mud kitchen, using some very hard bananas to make banana sauce (for ice cream), made insects, one child made a fox from their book and more insect watching. This time bees in the garden!
A reminder that concept photos need to be ordered by the 6th May, and we don't need the proofs back.
See all you next week

We have had a lovely start to term 5, with the sand being a firm favourite, planting strawberries and a trip to the park with Bobby bear. We had the big sheet outside and had great fun painting, which turned into painting our boots! This is why they may have come home with paint in their hair!
Nikkita from Patta cake was back on Friday, she taught us some new songs and we are very excited to see her again next week.
Hope you all have a sunny weekend.

Today is Primary School National Offer Day ❤️

This week at Blagdon Preschool, we have been lucky to spend a lot of time outside. We had some herbs in the mud kitchen where lots of meals were made, the dolls had a much needed bath and hair wash and we hid a lot of easter eggs.
The children wanted to peel the easter bunny some carrots. We were able to get to give them to him as he paid us a visit before his busy weekend.
Have a lovely Easter and half term, see you on Monday 20th April.
