the Garden Centre

Last week the children had great fun exploring in  the sensory bus that we have had at pre school all week, there were so many sensory experiences to explore from lights, textures, moving patterns and sounds. The children had lots to say about what they explored with lots of lovely language.


This week we hope that all the children will be able to take part in our trips to the Poundbury Garden Centre to see the Christmas decorations, so if you have not returned your child's permission slip please do so as soon as possible, or ask for another slip to sign.

We will be looking at the decorations and displays, the children will take photographs of the decorations and displays they like and back at pre school we will decide which decorations we would like to make and how we can make them. (this will encourage the children to be involved in their planning and to create and think critically)

We also have a number activity, sorting Christmas socks and everyday socks into sizes and pegging them onto our washing line. (MD SSM)
Some of the children spent a lot of time with clipboards and pencils role playing and mark making 'being waiters' so we have a role play café this week (CL, L writing).
