Autumn 1 - Me and My Community

It's the start of a new school year and Autumn is on it's way.

There's so much to see and do as we explore the world around us.

There are new friends to make and lots of new and exciting experiences.

We have lots of wonderful stories to support our learning, including ...

Our pre-school curriculum is planned to utlilse both our fantastic indoor and outdoor enviromnents.

On a Wednesday we will use the hall for movement and PE sessions.

Friday morning is when we have our weekly Rhythm Time class. There is no addtional charge for this 

Further planning can be found in the planning document below.

What do the children need to bring to Pre-school?

The children will need to bring:

• a named water bottle pre-filled with fresh water (no juice please)

• an outdoor coat (we try to go outside as much as possible)

• a hat and gloves on cold days

• sun hat and suncream when the sun is strong

• a small afternoon snack (e.g. sliced fruit, a banana, a breakfast bar)

• a change of clothes (incase of accidents)

• a day supply of pull ups/nappies/wipes (if not toilet trained)

• Wellies, to be left at school, for playing in and exploring the school grounds

Things you can do at home together:

• Share a story together every day.
• Play a game which involves listening, counting and taking turns.
• Practice using scissors and cutting out shapes or different lines such as curved or zigzag.
• Use tweezers to pick up and sort objects such as buttons or raisins.
• Use old paintbrushes and water in buckets to 'paint' outside on brick walls/drives/patios.
• Using 'Play-Doh', blue-tack or even a ball of uncooked pastry practice rolling out with a rolling pin, squeezing, stretching or rolling into a ball.
• Add some music and you've got your own 'Dough Disco!'
• Visit the queen of ‘Dough Disco’, Shonette Basin Wood  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj0shfH3pzhrf3dOrSj_pRw

We know that starting school can be daunting for parents and children. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if we can help in any way.

Many thanks,

Mrs Johnston
