Pre-School- Physical Development- Scissor Control
The children used their scissors to cut around the fruit for Handa's Basket. The children learnt how to hold and position their fingers to move the scissors into the paper to cut. Some children made cuts into the fruit and others cut around them to then stick them in their baskets.
Pre-School- PD-Fine and Gross Motor Skills
The children take part in Write Dance to develop their fine and gross motor skills. Moving to music with the ribbons and making up and down movements building on muscle strength. The children move their body into position to hold their crayons to make the movements on to paper. Developing the skills they have just learnt through dancing.
Pre-School-Maths-Take and Give 1,2,3
In maths this week we have been filling Grandma's basket for Little Red Riding Hood to take it to her. The children selected their own fruit and vegetables and then counted them with 1:1 correspondance. We then asked the children to take one item out of each basket and as they did this they needed to count each item and then stop. We then moved to two and three items counting and stopping as we went. Children also counted in number sequence in this activity.
Pre-School-UTW-Science- Exploring Seasons
The children had so much fun exploring the snow. Experiencing what Winter is all about, snow, icicles and snowflakes. We went on a hunt to find all these objects and why we know it is Winter. The children talked about wearing warm clothes, hats, scarves and gloves to play out in and shorts are for summer time. We noticed that there are no leaves on the trees and that not many animals were around because they are hibernating this season.
Pre-School- PSHE-Keeping Us Safe
In our lesson today we discussed people who keep us safe and how they can help us. We looked at a few pictures of people in different roles, including parents, police officers, fire fighters, doctor/ nurses and teachers. We talked about how they can help us and keep us safe. We role played different roles, being a police officer helping someone if they got lost, a doctor and using the plasters and bandages to make you better. The children then used this knowledge to draw a person and list what they can do to help us.
EYFS- PSHE-Christmas Magic Show
We had a magical day for all the children in EYFS experiencing a Christmas Magic Show. We watched magic tricks, a puppet show and the children enjoyed joining in with all the different acts. We danced to music and then a special visitor arrived.....' SANTA'.
Pre-School- PSHE-Taking Turns and Sharing
We have been developing our taking turns and sharing skills this week. We have played a pairs game and needed to match the animals. The children had to wait their turn and watch what was happening when the other player took their turn. Children struggled at first to wait their turn and how to play the game but with some guidance we had lots of fun.
Pre-School-PD-Christmas Dough
The children have enjoyed taking part in our Christmas dough disco. Moving arms up in the air and low to the ground and all around.

We have then explored ice but our penguins were stuck inside and we discussed how we can get them out. We used our hands to warm up the ice and watched it melt to free the penguins.

The children created different patterns with the building blocks. We worked out which colours were next in the sequence and continued to make the pattern.
