Elsworth Pre-School

Elsworth Pre-School As your child begins their time with us at pre-school, our aim is that they will have an exciting time learning through play, exploration, and fun.

All of our staff aim to support the children in our care with the separation from their parent. For a lot of children this is the first time they have had any kind of separation, and they don’t know or understand that you do come back at collection time. We operate a key worker system with our children, and this allows you, as a parent/carer, to build up a relationship with the member of staff. We would encourage you to speak to all staff as we work as a team, but your key worker will collate your child’s Learning and Development record as well as their individual profile. We want all our children to reach their potential. We want each child to feel happy and secure with us, and to feel able to grow through their own individual achievements.

Can you use your imagination to make up a story together, take it in turns to add a bit and extend your child's language. Freely draw or paint pictures to go alongside your story. Encourage and praise your child's efforts and have a giggle along the way.

We hope you've all had a lovely weekend. At Pre-School today the children have some sensory trays to explore in which ever way they choose. Why not make a small one at home too. Have you got any out of date food in the cupboard? Things like stale cereal, out of date baking ingredients, porridge oats, coffee granules or icing sugar can be great and if they're outnof date the food waste is minimised too. Children can tip, pour, mark make, explore the different textures, smells and how different colours and products blend together. Have fun!

Yesterday the children experimented with natural resources outside to make paints and their own pictures. They tried the raspberries for pink, some petals for purple, mud for brown and grass for green. Have a go at home and see what you can find outside to make paints with.

Can you count up to your number or backwards from it.

Can you make a toilet roll superhero or superdad? These are really simple to make and could be great for some roleplay or puppet fun when they've dried too.

Hello everybody, we hope you have been enjoying the sunshine over half term. Our daily activity ideas are back from today and we're starting by looking at symmetry. Can you paint a symmetrical butterfly? Just paint one wing of your butterfly, fold it in half to print your design and you'll see that the wings are now symmetrical. Where else can you find symmetry?
