Week Commencing 20/04/2026

Last week we had a super busy week at preschool! ✨

We have used the tools on the woodwork bench to create some beautiful masterpieces including cars, robots, planes and fairies!🚗✈️🧚🏼‍♀️🤖

The children have enjoyed getting messy doing some finger painting. 🎨

We have played our letters and sounds game cross the river where our younger children had to find objects by listening to a description of an object or what it might do ‘can you find an object that is pink’ or ‘can you find an object that shines in the sky’ And older children had to listen for the word to be segmented for example ‘c-a-t’ or ‘f-i-sh’ which they had to blend together to hear the word and find the object. 🐈☀️🐠

The children have been developing their fine motor skills by using the letters for threading and developing their gross motor skills by building obstacles and racing round them!🤩

A big thank you to Katie who kindly brought in Ted and Tess the ponies for the children to see. They enjoyed stroking them and brushing them showing us how they use their kind and gentle hands towards animals. 🐎🐾
