Coronation Party

we will be holding a​​ Coronation Party on Tuesday 9th​​ May for​​ all​​ our children, I am sure they have all seen parts of the Coronation over the weekend or taken part in some sort of celebration that will now help them understand our celebration.​​ We will be taking​​ part in a​​ Majestical Treasure Hunt​​ , finding the​​ Kings Jewels, have lots of Coronation crafts available​​ and have a
Coronation​​ Tea Party.

 

We have updated our photos​​ so have​​ a look in the lobby​​ where we have displayed photos​​ of Spring term since​​ January​​ of our children​​ Learning Through Play.

The red board is all about the​​ SEVEN AREAS OF LEARNING IN THE EYFS​​ which is what we work towards with all the children. Read the information and see how you can help your child’s development at home, we have added photos of the children engaged in activities developing their skills in these areas at preschool, see how hard they work…. and understand why it is so important to develop these skills early.

The yellow board is all about MUD and what opportunities it offers to your child, look at the photos and see the engagement, awe, and wonder and happiness in the children’s faces. They are fully investigating, exploring, and showing curiosity, all skills needed for Learning.

Please remember that we are​​ always outside, so please make sure your child has a suitable named coat. It​​ will get dirty​​ as we will be playing with and experiencing chalk, paint, soil and other messy play; that is what we’re here for.

Please make sure your child has spare clothes in their bag, all children need

spare clothes to replace clothes that get wet and messy from independent active play.

Remember to name all your children’s​​ belongings, uniform, spare clothes, coats, water bottles and lunch bags.
