We have had the best week promoting healthy eating, and during the week we tried lots of different foods including watermelon lollies, fruit and veg salads, smoothies and our homemade still lemonade which the children described as “sour” 🍋 (while pulling the faces)🍎🍓🍉🍊
To link in with our healthy eating theme we read the story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ and made caterpillar shaped cheese straws for snack 😋

We’re all going on a summer holiday ☀️

We have had a lovely week back at preschool, sharing our half term news and getting back in to routine! Our last half term before the summer and we have started it off with our holiday theme ☀️ We have enjoyed taking a trip to our travel agents role play area to book a holiday followed by boarding preschool airline ✈️

From all of us at Romanby Preschool and Cabin Crew we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Southwoods Nursing Home ❤️

We’re delighted to have made a small donation to support the wonderful team at Romanby Pre-School Cabin Nursery.

Local nurseries play such an important role in helping children learn, grow and thrive and we’re always pleased to support organisations that make a positive difference within our community.

A big thank you to everyone at Romanby Pre-School for the fantastic work you do every day. We hope this contribution helps support the children and staff in some small way.

💚 Supporting local communities is something we’re passionate about at Southwoods and we’re proud to play a part wherever we can.

May Half term fun…
we have had lots of different activities going on ranging from fun fair games to baking, what a lovely sunny week filled with fun☀️🎟️🧈😊

This week we have been learning about minibeasts 🐞🐛🪲🕷️🦋

The children have explored our minibeasts tuff tray, using natural resources, magnifying glasses and a variety of different insects to encourage curiosity and discussion. We have talked about the different insects, using questions about where do you think they live, and what do they eat?

We have used our imaginations to create some amazing minibeasts using the playdough.

Our story of the week in preschool has been Jack and the beanstalk 🫘🌱☁️🏰

Over the week the children have enjoyed,
☁️ Building a beanstalk
☁️ Threading a beanstalk with Cheerios
☁️ Tuff tray fun
☁️ Cutting beans
☁️ Retelling the story
☁️ Small world play
☁️ Growing our own sunflower plant

Expermenting using different objects 🔋🍋🪙

When the experiment fails we have a back up plan that everyone enjoys 😋🍋
