This month, as part of our theme ‘Growth and Change’, both the Tweenies and Preschool have been exploring the fascinating world of plants and their growth. To celebrate World Book Day, we dedicated the week to learning about plants, which set the stage for our engaging planting activities.
The Tweenies had a delightful time reading ‘Sal the Seed’, and then they each planted a sunflower to take home. This will allow them to observe its growth first-hand. They also enjoyed a variety of group reading sessions throughout the day, sharing and reading books they had brought from home.
In Preschool, our featured book for the day was ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. The children participated in an interactive storytime, where the story was brought to life with the use of puppets. After that, they got creative by colouring their own castles to place atop their beanstalks, which we planted in the afternoon. The children were excited to take these home and care for them while observing their growth. Additionally, we measured our heights against the beanstalk, comparing ourselves to see who was the tallest and who was the smallest in the class. The children engaged in meaningful conversations with their key workers, recognising their names and discussing their heights. Well done, Preschoolers! Later in the afternoon, the children had the opportunity to play in our "Jack and the Beanstalk" themed tuff tray, where they acted out the story with puppets and created scenes alongside their friends. It was a wonderful way to wrap up our World Book Day celebrations!
