We had a great week last week exploring our whole school theme of India, the children did some lovely work making biscuits, elephant pictures, peacocks and pictures of Indian puppets, and looking at maps, however when asked the children all said they enjoyed the food! We had nan bread, popadoms, chutneys, dip and korma. We also used a pestle and mortar to grind spices and herbs, chilli and garlic, which some of the children really loved, and the playroom smelt wonderful!
Thank you so much to all the parents who brought something from India it certainly added to the week and gave us lots to look at and plan from.
This week as a school we celebrate our 20th birthday, so we thought we would enjoy some birthday party activities which will start with reading Shirley Hughes 'Alfie gives a hand'
The children will be writing party invitations, making masks, and dressing up with the theme of superheros or fairies. The costumes we are using are pre schools, which gives the children the opportunity to invent their own superhero, so please do not send your child into preschool wearing a costume, we want them to use their imagination.
There are lots of dates coming up with farewell activities for the children to enjoy, do look out for letters, I will blog a complete list soon. Amanda and team
