"Sending wishes of health, wealth, and wisdom in the Lunar New Year"

Today in Pre-School the children have learnt and discussed about Chinese New Year. We watched a short clip about how its celebrated and what kind of traditions they do such as eat certain foods, wear certain clothes and display decorations within the households.

This year is the year of the Rabbit and the children have made their own pictures and have also created their own sculptures using the Chinese mats and playdough.

Pre School Open Day

Bumblebees & Caterpillars 'The Hungry Caterpillar'

This week Pre-School have been busy bees learning in all areas of the environment.

We have been focusing on the story 'The Hungry Caterpillar' and have created our very own caterpillars and butterflies on our creative table. We have been developing our pencil control by focusing and concentrating on following the lines provided on the mark making sheets. In our outside environment Bumblebees and Caterpillars have been using their imagination in the mud kitchen and making their own mud pies. Yummy.

We have loved exploring the ice blocks with the Autumn artefacts in the water tray, the children had lots of great answers about how the ice feels and what happens to the ice. The children have also been enjoying independent reading with our new traditional tales story books.

What a fabulous week we have had, well done Pre-School.
