The Photographer will be in preschool on the morning of Monday 5th June the first day back after the half term break. Remember to sign up for a slot if your child does not normally attend on a Monday morning or you wish to have a family portrait with siblings or parents.
The Conversation Boxes have been a great success. The children are so proud to share them in small groups, they create great conversation, the introduction of different vocabulary and role modelling the use of purposeful language and communication together.
Can everyone please bring in a named sunhat to leave at preschool as we start to have some warmer weather in the garden.
*New Photo Board*
Have a look in the lobby where we have displayed photos of Spring & start of Summer Term 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.
