Pre-School- Physical- Exploring The Outdoors

The children have been interested in finding different bugs in the garden. Together we created a digging area to see what we could find. Using different tools the children found beetles, snails, worms and slugs. The children created an area with the blocks to look at the creatures closer using the magnifying glass.

Pre-School- Literacy and Maths- Calendar

Everyday Pre- school children take part in Calendar time. In this short activity we learn the day, date, month and what letter sound they start with. The children learn to recognise their own name card and letter sound. We then count how many children are in our class and put them into groups, recognising which group has more or less.

Nursery And Pre-School - PSHE - Wellbeing Hour

To mark Children's Mental Health Week, the children in both Nursery and Preschool dedicated a special hour of their session to focus solely on having FUN! This child-led "Wellbeing Hour" was designed to promote happiness and emotional well-being by allowing the children to choose their favorite activities. The children decided exactly how they wanted to spend their time, which led to a wonderful variety of experiences. Some chose to play their favorite games or head to the hall for energetic play, while others enjoyed bowling and eventually settling down for a film to finish the session. A very special highlight of the day was a visit from Dotty the Doggy, which the children absolutely loved and brought so many smiles to their faces. During this time, the children focused on positive social interactions. They played group games where they practiced the important skills of sharing and taking turns. It was wonderful to see every child fully engaged with their friends—the room was filled with laughter and happiness as they simply enjoyed being together. This celebration provided a meaningful way for the children to understand that looking after our minds and being happy with our friends and animal visitors is just as important as our other learning.
