Celebrating St George’s Day!
Pre School have been busy this month, they have been using a range of mark making resources to make themselves some flags for St George’s day. They then explored a tuff tray with castles, knights and dragons whilst practitioners spoke about St George’s day with the children.
Spring Sunshine…
The children have been excited to have some sunshine in the garden recently!
Pre School 2 have have been talking about how he garden is looking so much greener, and noticing lots more plants and flowers growing around us. We have found different ways to explore the plants - watering them in the garden and learning about how they grow, we then made lots of beautiful pictures by doing observational of plants and flowers that we had found and explored their textures by creating crayon rubbings.
Preschool 1 have also been making most of the sunshine too! Some of the children have been making music with pots, pans and sticks, they then used their imagination and went off to find different things they could make music with.
Babies have been exploring different tuff trays outside, using cars to push through flour and looking at the different marks it has been leaving. We then used animals to move them through the flour to see if they marks they left were the same or different. We have also been working on our physical development, enouraging walking and learning how to push ourselves on bikes.
Earth Day
This month we celebrated Earth Day by making two different types of play dough. We made cloud dough and traditional play dough to represent the sea and the land to make our own plant earth. We explained to the children what the colours represented and they were then able to explore the different dough by using their hands, fingers and a range of natural playdough resourcres.
A HUGE thank you to one of our preschool Dads who came and showed off his DJ skills, putting on a fantastic set for the whole Nursery, Babies, Toddlers, Rising 3 and the Preschool children danced the afternoon away wearing face paint and glow sticks. So much fun was had by all……..
