Recycle week in preschool 1♻️💙

This week in Preschool 1, we celebrated Recycling Week by introducing a book titled “10 Things to Help Our World.” This book aims to teach children various ways to support our planet. The children eagerly engaged in sorting plastic and cardboard at our in-class recycling centre. In addition, we made some delicious dairy- and egg-free cakes, using this opportunity to discuss allergies and how to keep our friends safe if they have one. We coloured the cakes green and blue to represent our world. The children also participated in rescuing imaginary animals trapped in our ocean by plastic. We demonstrated how to create binoculars from household items, promoting the idea of reducing waste. One of the children’s favourite activities was litter picking. We talked about the importance of keeping our planet clean and provided a hands-on experience that aligned with our curriculum and cultural capital focus. Working together as a team, we took turns cleaning up our back garden, using our strength to collect litter. It was truly fantastic teamwork! Well done, Preschool! We are incredibly proud of all the children and their hard work this week; they are all doing amazingly well in preschool!

What a fun week preschool 1 have had for their 3 little pigs week🐷🐺 We have took part in a range of activities to meet every area of learning! For our outdoor provision we have been putting out the fire using our fine motor skills to squeeze the bottles. We have been busy doing crafts making our very own pig masks, learning the Makaton sign for pig! We have also practiced building our own houses using sticks, straw and bricks. The children said “I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house down💨 We also did a cookery to make our very own pigs using rice cakes, yogurt and different fruits to create a face. Wow, what a great week preschool!🌟

Today in Early Years 2 we have had a super fun Friday! To celebrate our children and all the progress they have made this year on their last day in this room, we had a pijama party! We played ball games, danced to all of our favourite songs and laughed popping bubbles with our friends. We have had the best day ever 🤍.

As the preschool one children approach their last few days with us we have treated them to a spa day today🥰 This was filled with nail paining, face masks and a foot soak and massage! The children have well and truly deserved the rest and we are so proud of every single child this year for all their progress with their learning🌟 Best wishes from Mollie, Ella and Nicky.

This week preschool one have had an amazing week learning about Rufus and the blackberry monster story! We have been so lucky to make our own fruit jam and also try various fruits at group time👩‍🍳 We have also used the mashers to make our own blackberry paint which was super fun. As part of our extra curricular learning we also learnt monster in Makaton. We are so proud of everyone😀

This morning in EY2 we have enjoyed a super exciting game of ‘What’s in the box?’ We loved exploring the texture of the mystery items in the bowls with our hands - talking about what we feel using language such as crunchy, soft , hard , hot , cold and squishy. It was so fun getting messy with our friends!🌟🤍 🎨
