Learning About Design

Today we had a visit from Nancy’s Mum (a nursery parent) who uses photography as part of her job role. She allowed the children to explore her camera and use light trails to explore shapes and patterns in the air. She talked to the children about her job as a designer and explained about the type of things she designs.

Learning About Primary School

Mr Jones is a primary school teacher and spoke about lots of different things that the children will be doing when they go to school.

The children played listening games, read a story about starting school, looked at pictures of their new schools, talked about uniforms and looked at pictures of different lessons and activities that could take place in their new schools.

We asked the children yesterday to think of some questions that they would like to ask and here is what they came up with;
– Will I make new friends?
– What happens at lunch time?
– What do we do when it’s snack time in our class?
– What happens when we come into school?
– What happens when I go into year 1?
– Do we just play in school?
– Do we have a reading area in school?

The children are all very excited for their new adventure!

Flower Pot Sue’s Allotment

The children enjoyed visiting Flower Pot Sue’s allotment. They had opportunities to plant seeds, dig up potatoes and explore all the lovely things Sue has grown this year.

Fire Engine Comes To Visit

Preschool had a very special treat today! One of our parents kindly offered to bring a fire engine for the children to explore! They enjoyed looking at all of the different parts of the fire engine and even had a go of the fire hose, they had really good aim knocking the cones down!

World Bee Day

Worker Bees have enjoyed learning all about bees!

Together they watched a video about bees making honey & also looked at the shapes of bee hives & honeycombs. There was lots of discussion as they learnt new words such as nectar & pollen.

Using loose parts the children also created their very own beehive & incorporated their interest of number.
