Happy Mother’s Day to all our amazing moms, grandmas, and mother-figures! 🌸✨

This week we have been busy celebrating the "Mothers and Others" in our lives! 📖❤️ The children have been taking part in collaborative process art, where the focus is all on the experience of playing and creating together. 🎨 We made this fantastic banner to share with you all and hope you all agree it looks fantastic and the children had so much fun together making it.

Process over Product: There’s no "right" way to create, just pure, messy joy! 🌈

We will be continuing to explore these themes of love, family, kindness, and friendship next week too! And look forward to hearing all about the children's weekend adventures 🥰💕

✨ Magic, Mess, and Big Discoveries! ✨
As we settle back into preschool after our extended half term ,we’ve been looking back on all the incredible learning opportunities and adventures we enjoyed last half term!

We loved exploring the undersea 🐙 cleaning spree book and talking about the effects of rubbish ending up in the ocean. Getting sticky and messy saving the animals. 🐢 We have been building gravity-defying towers in the block area and looking at prepositions with the story Where's bear? 🐻 It's been a muddy, sandy, pom pom splatteringly messy half term of fun. We finished up with the story How to make a rainbow 🌈 exploring friendships, hearts 💕 and kindness through group discussions, stickers and some beautiful crafts.

Reminder to all parents and carers.
Preschool is closed Monday 16th February through Friday 27th February due the renovation of the toilets at the Village Hall.
Term will be extend to Thursday 2nd April in light of this.

🎶 Do you want to build a snowman? ⛄ 🎶

Today at preschool we were super excited to talk about the arrival of the soft, sparkly, shimmering snow. We wrapped up warm with coats, hats, mittens and boots to play outside. Making footprints 👣 trails and snow angels. We decided the snow was very cold 🥶 and noticed it made our hands and gloves wet as it melted. The weatherman has said the cold is here to stay so wrap up warm and stay safe as snow and ice can be very slippery. ❄️
