15th September
This week we have continued to settle the children back into Pre-school. Our topic this week has been ‘All about me”. We have been talking about the children’s interests, their families, pets etc.
This week the children have:
- Read the book ‘I choose’ and cut out their favourite pictures from the book. The stuck their pictures on a star with their name to make their own collage of what they like.
- Made pizza wraps where they decorated them to make a face. They decorated them using cheese, peppers, sweetcorn etc. The children then ate the pizza wraps at snack time.
- Read lots of traditional tales and practised acting them out.
- Explored and experimented with the instruments, listening to what noises they make.
- Used their family photos to make a nice picture of who lives in their house.
- Played in the home corner with pretend food and tea sets.
- Looked at books about families, pets, home life etc.
- Played with the doll’s house, pretending to be people in their family.
- Played with the playdough. We looked at different emotions and facial expressions. The children then made a face out of the playdough.
- Shared photos of their families and talked about who they live with.
Important information
- If you haven’t already, please can you send in a family photo for our family tree.
- Now we have been back for two weeks we would like the children to try and separate from parents or family at the door with the support of staff if possible. We will continue to call parents if there are any concerns with children settling. Can we politely remind parents not to enter the children’s toilet for safeguarding and policy reasons. Please let a member of staff know if your child needs to use the potty or toilet when they arrive at pre-school.
