BW Pre-School - Christmas activities are underway

🎅Christmas Fun🎅

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄 with Catherine's and Linda's pods,  they enjoyed a lovely morning by preparing saltdough mixture so that little Christmas decorations can be made 😍 

This activity is a nice opportunity to do some mixing, measuring and rolling therefore building on maths concepts, and understanding the process of making the Christmas decorations from start to finish.

Some cute little gingerbread men 😍 everyone had a turn to mix the ingredients,  salt, flour and some water. We added some ginger to create a nice festive atmosphere. Nutmeg can be added too if you like to enjoy the lovely festive scents ♡ 

 

BW After-School Maria's Group

Awareness of Bullying

  Maria's group held a poster competition, The topic was around bullying, they all had a discussion on what bullying means to them,  this was very informative and they all had their own personal view on the bully and the person being bullied. This gave  the children the chance to speak about how they feel and gave  the children a chance to listen to each other expressing  their own views !

 Communication, listening and most importantly talking is key for children at any age . 

The winners of the poster competition were  Eabha and Kyle ! Well done to all the group for entering !  

Miriams pod Road safety activity (Traffic lights )

🚦Road Safety🚦

As road safety and awareness is always important it was a great learning experience for the 

children to talk about traffic lights and what they mean.

Great work and concentration by all the children as they try and sort colours to stick on their traffic lights 🚦

When we finished our activity we were able to bring the children to our local pedestrian traffic lights so they could see them in action! Good work 👏 

🚙🚦🚸 Road safety is important for all ages bringing awareness around this to children at a young age is so important. The children were really interested in this topic, discussing safety and learning about traffic lights 😀 

 

Welcome back everyone GP Morning Pre-School

 😀  Welcome back everyone 😀

Welcome back everyone I hope everyone enjoyed our mid-term break, Halloween was very different this year for a lot of us there was no trick or treating for the children, a first in all our lifetimes. However all the children seemed to enjoy their Halloween break they came back with lots of stories of things they did and were very excited to tell us all about what they got up to on their mid term break .

The children came back all full of beans last Monday so we have been keeping them very busy doing lots of wonderful activities. We have been making the most of the dry weather and getting out everyday while we still can, all the boys and girls love to play outside .

The theme this month is transport 🚗 and the children have been hugely interested in all our activities based around different forms of transport, Land 🚂, Air  ✈ and Water🚣. We have been talking about emergency vehicles and how they help us and we have also looked at how different animals travel -  flying swimming, walking, jumping and sliding. So our theme is going in many different directions .

A lot of our boys and girls have been talking about snails since they returned so we have done some activities around snails. We have a snail living in our bug house in the yard which the children find fascinating and i'm sure as the weather gets colder we will get a large variety of insects looking for shelter

Here are some of our fun activities the children have been doing since we returned.

Lucy is super interest in her

    Its a real birds nest !

Tara's boys and girls are very interested in birds so they decided to make their own nests, I wonder if any birds will make them their new homes 😄🐦

The boys and girls made lovely nests.

Liz's Group

Liz's group have been very busy, this week Bella told all the children about a snail she found in the park 

All the children became very interested in snails ,we even found some hiding in our yard !

"We all loved making our snail pictures, we love using glue"🐌

                           Denise's group.

Denise's group also love snails and we have often had snails come to school in pockets !😂

So they really wanted to make a snail picture too.

The boys and girls have been super busy over the last two weeks ,today and tomorrow the children will be cooking car cookies in their groups and bringing them home on Friday .

The children always enjoy baking days its a great introduction to maths and science ,where children will experience weight and capacity and how dough that is soft becomes hard and solid when cooked.
