The children have explored the school grounds using the climbing frames, wild area and school fields. They had lots of lovely welly walks during the first half of the term and then enjoyed the sunshine towards the end of Spring Term 2. We have bought new outdoor resources with the fundraising money from Nursery Rhyme Week and other funding we received and had lots of fun playing in the pre-school playground. The resources include bikes, scooter boards, hula hoops, balance boards, seesaw and water tray. The children have been developing their throwing and catching skills and have been putting coats/shoes/wellies on and taking them off independently. We are looking forward to more sunshine and fun in the summer term!

Imagination! 7th Apr 2025
56 images

The pre-school children have a wonderful imagination. This can be seen in their independent play. They played with small world resources such as dinosaurs and a farm whilst using wooden blocks, natural resources, boxes etc. to help them to create a narrative in their play. Some of the children pretended that they were in the emergency services and helped to save and look after others. They also played vets and hairdressers whilst using the home role play area as a base. One of our focus books was 'The Three Little Pigs.' The children made a house out of cardboard and real materials and acted out the story saying the repeated refrains. One of our focus rhymes was 'Incy Wincy Spider.' The children used their imagination to make their own spiders using playdough, pipe cleaners and collage materials whilst saying the rhyme. On Shrove Tuesday, the children used the playdough to make their own pancakes, tossing them in the pan and adding toppings from craft resources.

Artists! 7th Apr 2025
64 images

We have some fantastic artists in pre-school! Through taking part in many mark making activities and general activities used to develop both gross and fine motor skills, the children are developing great pencil control. Many can draw recognisable pictures. The children enjoy 'Scribble Club' which is designed to promote communication skills and develop the children's imagination through mark making. One of our focus books was 'Freddie and the Fairy'. The children made wands and turned each other and their teachers into a range of animals including frogs! They did fantastic paintings, coloured pictures, traced patterns to make pictures and made 3D models with recycled materials. Another of our focus books was 'The Three Little Pigs'. The children made their own houses out of actual straw, sticks and bricks. They also used materials in the craft area to make houses to take home.

This half term, Year 1 have had the fantastic opportunity to work with Artworx on the Earth, Art and Music Project. In an increasingly digital world dominated by screens and technology, the Earth, Art and Music Project has inspired children to get out into nature, learning new visual art skills, ‘natural art’ and music. It has taught children about the importance of recycling and looking after the environment, and used this learning to create artwork from natural materials gathered from the environment and also recycled materials that would have otherwise been discarded.
