☀️ Extreme Heat Reminder ☀️

With the warm weather continuing and reaching a scorching 38c on Thursday, we’ll be making some adjustments at preschool to help keep everyone comfortable and safe. We will have curtains closed and fans blowing. We will have ice lollies and water play.

Please can children:
👕 Wear light, cool clothing
💧 Bring plenty of fluids / a filled water bottle
🧴 Arrive with suncream already applied (we will reapply during the day as needed)

During preschool we will:
🌳 Limit physical activities during the hottest parts of the day
⛱️ Spend time playing in shaded areas when temperatures are high
💦 Enjoy water play and other cooling activities

Thank you for helping us keep everyone happy, comfortable and safe in the sunshine! ☀️

Ready for the fun day! Over community centre 🥳

Tomorrow 1-4pm this is where we will be! Teddy tombola, dig for treasure and win a fab prize, and pocket money toys! Please come down and say hello ☀️

Bluey will be making an appearance at 1:15-1:45 and 2:15- 2:45! She will be available for photos 📸

At the Over Community Centre Fun Day tomorrow 1-4pm 🤩

🔬 STEM Fun in Preschool! 🔬🌈

Today our little scientists explored a colourful experiment using oil, milk, food colouring, and syringes! 🧪✨

The children carefully used syringes to add drops of colour and observe what happened when different liquids mixed (or didn’t mix!). This hands-on activity encouraged curiosity, prediction, observation, and fine motor skill development while introducing early STEM concepts.

There were lots of “wows” as vibrant colours swirled and transformed before their eyes! 💙💚💛❤️

Learning through play helps children develop critical thinking skills, confidence, and a love of discovery.

Today our preschool explorers are going on a dinosaur trail, searching for footprints along the way! The children will use their observation skills and let their imaginations run wild as they discovered what prehistoric creatures might be lurking around every corner.

Outdoor adventures like these encourage communication, problem-solving, physical development, and a love of nature and exploration. We will have lots of roaring fun and some very brave dinosaur hunters! 🦕🌿

Do you have any teddies or cuddly toys in need of a new home? We are looking for soft toy donations for our teddy tombola that’s taking place at the Over community centre family fun day.

Please get in touch if you have some to donate. Either comment here or email [email protected]

Many thanks 🤩

🚀🌍 This week at New Road we’ve been exploring the wonders of space!
The children created their own collage planets using a variety of different materials, textures, and colours; paper, metallic card, feathers, wood circles and sequins. Through creative play, they explored shape, colour, texture, and fine motor skills while learning about planets, stars, and the amazing universe around us.
So much imagination, curiosity, and wonderful conversation as we discovered what might be out there among the stars! ✨🪐

🚍 Transport Week Adventures! 🦆📚🌳

This week for Transport Week, we took our learning on the road with a special bus trip to St Ives! The children were so excited to travel together and experience a real journey.

We enjoyed a lovely visit to see the ducks, followed by a trip to the library where we explored and read a lot of books! On our way home, we stopped in the orchard for a picnic, the perfect end to a busy day!

It was a wonderful opportunity to build confidence, learn about the world around us, and make special memories 🩷
