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 […]

As Christmas draws near, we are looking forward to a New Year with hopes that it will be a better one – and looking forward to a time when taking the children’s temperatures every day, along with all of our other COVID-19 precautions, can be a thing of the past. In the meantime, we continue […]
As always, since the pandemic began, we’ve tried our hardest this month to make sure the children still have as many opportunities for fun and learning as they did before, and tried to provide some familiarity and routine for them at a time when things seem uncertain and different. Recently, our home corner has been […]

Preschool reopened for all pupils on 2nd September, and it was lovely to welcome everyone back—and to welcome our new starters and their families. The focus in our first week was on ’All About Me’ activities, helping everyone get to know each other. The children took selfies of themselves and measured their heights so that […]
