A blog to show all that we’ve been up to in Pre-School.

Cricket care

By Blog No Comments

The children were disappointed to find a limited number of bugs in the garden, so we decided to get our own.

Our first task was to give our new pets a more comfortable home. We then thought about what they might like to eat, and how to give them water without risking their safety.

The children throughout the week have been keen to watch and study them, count them, feed them, give them fresh water, and learn all about them. The children have decided they are a family, giving them roles and names.

Harvest time

By Blog No Comments

Harvest time was a great time for us to get hands on in our learning.  The children enjoyed exploring real and play food, growing and tasting, buying, selling and cooking.  A particular highlight of the week was a visit from a real tractor.

We of course used the opportunity to include ‘Supertato’ in our learning, as well as digging, collecting and ‘harvesting’ potatoes from the soil and carrots we had made.

Thanks to our generous families we finished off the week with a ‘harvest collection’ which was donated to the local food bank.
