We introduced the children to a new book, β€˜Gruffalo Granny’ by Julia Donaldson, which inspired our Gruffalo Granny’s stew activity. πŸ²πŸ“–

The children headed to the shops to find all the ingredients we needed, enjoying spotting the different items and helping to collect everything on our list. πŸ›’πŸ₯•πŸ₯”

Back at preschool, we got busy preparing the stew, with the children helping to cut up all the ingredients and get everything ready.

A lovely way to bring a new story to life through hands on learning, while encouraging independence, language and lots of curiosity! πŸ­πŸ¦ŠπŸπŸ¦‰

We’ve had a busy morning doing some autumnal vegetable painting. The children spoke about the different colours, the vegetables they were using and the patterns they left on the paper.

We had a lovely morning exploring our local surroundings and taking in all the little wonders of nature along the way. We stopped in the churchyard for a snack and spent some time looking around, noticing what we could see and hear.

We then walked along the river, collecting autumnal treasures and talking about the changes we could see in the season. 🍁

And of course, we finished our morning with an obligatory trip to the park! πŸ›

A lovely morning of learning, exploring and enjoying our community together. πŸ’œ

πŸŽ‰πŸ’ CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF MICA AT PARKSIDE! πŸ’πŸŽ‰

Today we’re celebrating a very special milestone… 10 incredible years of Mica at Hadleigh Parkside Pre-School! πŸ₯°

Over the last decade, Mica has been such a huge part of Parkside and has helped care for, teach and make memories with so many children and families along the way. πŸ’›

From all the laughs and adventures to the cuddles, messy play, forest school days and everything in between, Mica has given so much to Parkside over the years.

We are incredibly lucky to have her as one of our Deputy Managers and, most importantly, as such a valued part of our Parkside family. 🌿🐝

Thank you, Mica, for 10 amazing years of hard work, loyalty, love and dedication to Parkside and all of our little people.

Here’s to the last 10 years… and many more memories to come! πŸ’

Happy 10-year Parkside anniversary, Mica! πŸŽ‰β€οΈ

Love from all of us at Hadleigh Parkside Pre-School ###

πŸŒΏπŸ“ A lovely visit to our allotment! πŸ₯•πŸ₯’

The children had such a lovely time getting out and about, exploring, discovering and enjoying everything our allotment has to offer. They picked some of our strawberries, carrots and cucumber to take back to preschool to show their friends. πŸ“πŸ₯•πŸ₯’

There was plenty of fun in the mud kitchen too, using natural resources to create and imagine, before sitting together to enjoy a yummy snack in the fresh air. 🌱
