What a busy October we’ve had so far! The children have settled well into the Preschool routine, learning our Preschool promises and showing us how creative they are. They enjoyed learning all out about daddy long legs and other insects and made their own using play-doh. They also worked on their listening and attention skills, […]
We’ve started the term with plenty of fun, engaging activities, helping our returners settle back into pre-school and our new starters feel at home. Our first Book of the Week was, appropriately, a Peppa Pig story called ‘Georgie’s First Day at Playgroup’. It’s been lovely to meet the new children and their families. We’ve been […]
A new school year is just around the corner. We hope everyone is having a wonderful summer, and we can’t wait to hear all about it when we get back to Preschool! We’re looking forward to welcoming back our returning children and getting to know our new starters, along with their parents, carers and families. […]
As we near the end of term, the staff, children and their families are all starting to dream of holidays and enjoying some sunny summer weather. But at present, everyone is still busy with activities and getting ready for our Leavers’ events. Unfortunately, Miss Woodward’s visit had to be cancelled, but the children are looking […]
With just a few weeks of term left, the children have been loving the good weather and spending lots of time outdoors. We’re so lucky to have our large, shaded balcony, allowing them to enjoy the fresh air while still having an area to stay out of the sun. We’ve welcomed lots of new starters […]
We’ve had another busy month here at Preschool. The children enjoyed celebrating the Queen’s birthday with a special party, wearing special crowns, waving their flags along to the National Anthem, and eating a feast fit for a Queen at snack time: cucumber sandwiches and iced Madeira cake (a big thank you, as always, to Nisa, […]
It was lovely to welcome everyone back after the school closures. The children have all settled back in well and thoroughly enjoyed all our topics and being able to socialise again—and when parents can socialise again and enter the foyer, we’re planning a new-look parent information board and staff board! At present, we only have […]
March brought us mixed weather (as always!), but we have been taking the children out for fresh air and exercise when it’s not too grim. They’ve enjoyed the space the field offers and loved kicking a football around. Indoors, we’ve been celebrating events such as St David’s Day, Mother’s Day, World Book Day and International […]
During February, the children were busy exploring winter topics and creating crafts for our winter display board. One of their activities involved threading beads onto pipe cleaners to make snowflakes. The purpose of activities like these is not just to create something beautiful but to increase the children’s manual dexterity, which is essential for developing […]
Happy New Year! Here at Preschool, we are still taking stringent precautions and constantly assessing our room layouts and routines to ensure we’re keeping our staff, children and families as safe as possible during this third lockdown. Most of our children are attending and we have welcomed some new starters. The children have been very […]
