Hi everyone! The Preschool class have been working hard to refine their fine motor skills in class. Please have a look at out photos and see what the children have been up to.
Our cutting skills have greatly improved over the year – everyday we cut card, magazines, paper and are now in the beginning stages of learning to create our own collages!
Working together and playing with friends is a big part of our day – the children have bonded beautifully over the year and our new friends have settled in wonderfully making us laugh and showing us all their skills. Happy Term 3!
Hi Everybody! One of our much love stories in Preschool is The Gruffalo. For World Book Day we had an amazing Gruffalo day!
We have delved into shape and colour this term using different art mediums, classroom activities and shapes. Take a look at the amazing photographs and see us all discover and explore this vast subject. We especially enjoyed seeing the children delight in trying to find their hand print by size and naming all the colours of their friends hands and feet!
Preschool have been extremely busy bees since starting school in September.
A spectacularly colourful display of spring bonnets paraded through the school today, donned by our younger students. The bonnets were thoroughly enjoyed by onlooking students, teachers and parents, who clapped and cheered to show their praise for the wonderfully creative designs. Well done to all the families for working on these together and do enjoy looking at the photos. It was so lovely to see such individuality and such a range of ideas on how to depict the theme of spring and Easter egg time.
Hi! This term we have been learning about fur, feathers, skin and scales. We loved making snakes and taking them for a walk in the bushes. Please see the photographs below where you will see how we made our snakes. The children were asked to say what kind of snake they had made. Here are some of their suggestions: “a mummy snake”, “a rattle snake”, “a Nemo snake”, “a colour snake”, “a big snake”. We learned that snakes have scaly skin, eat mice and frogs, have fangs, can be small or large and, most importantly, that if you see a snake, get an adult – don’t touch!
Thank you parents and carers for an amazing end to 2013 – enclosed are just a couple of photographs to remind you and your children of the fun we had! Our party was a yummy success! The little ‘elves’ were our superstars and Santa was super exciting! We have started 2014 with smiles and love. Happy New Year from Miss Claire Marie and Mrs Jeannette.
Hi! Come and look at our ‘fantastic foam’ messy play blog photographs! We played freeze dance in the foam. We made pictures “circles” “monsters” and “cars”. We also got foam on our shoes, foam on the door and foam on the door! Messy play is lots of fun! By Miss Claire and Mrs Jeannette.
Hello Everyone! Look at our amazing new outside play area! The children have been super-excited, climbing and sliding, digging and riding. Take a look at our beautiful Early Years playing together with our new equipment. We are pirates and adventurers and love going for a ride on our rainbow caterpillar, in our new police car and playing with our new diggers!
