Term 1- September 2019

A very warm welcome back to Term 1. We hope you have all had a lovely summer!
 
Top Tip for talking: Talk about the pictures in your child’s favourite book; sharing or asking simple questions about pictures in a favourite book will add to the pleasure a favourite book gives and becomes a shared experience “Lovely rabbit, isn’t he?”.

Top tip for two’s: I can do it myself!
Even though it may take me ages to do something and I may not get it right; its really important I have a go. I may become frustrated if everything is done for me.  You'd be surprised how much I can do given the chance.
 
Makaton sign we are practising: Good morning; start by putting your thumb up in front of yourself and then touching your shoulders moving from left to right.
Dinosaur: Arms tucked into your sides and move your hands in small circles in-front of yourself

Washing Hands
Part of the Children’s development at pre-school is to learn about health and self-care, this includes managing their own basic hygiene needs, progressing towards using the toilet by themselves and the importance of washing their hands. In a preschool environment, germs can spread quickly but we can help to manage this by encouraging good handwashing by ALL children. At preschool we find children learn more effectively when things are fun. We are supporting children to understand the process of handwashing and encouraging through a new song. Parents /carers can help to support their child by discussing and supporting at home too. Our song is below if you would like to use with your children at home.
Hand washing song
 (To the tune or row row row your boat)
Wash wash wash your hands
Wash them nice and clean
Fronts and backs
And in between
Get them nice and clean
 
Forest Club
After our long summer break, Forest club had become really overgrown, with the grass being really long and lots of brambles and nettles growing over out pathways. Being very careful Lynne and Pablo’s Daddy helped to clear the paths, using big sticks to do some bashing. Once it was safe the children also helped to do some bashing, using long sticks to bash down some nettles. The children really enjoyed being able to help clear the way and became so involved it took up most of our forest club morning!
​
Role Play
The children have been showing some lovely imaginative skills over the past two weeks, role playing shops.
While role playing shops, the children were able to go shopping, choosing items which they may come across in their everyday lives. Items were provided by staffs and children’s recycling. Once the baskets were full of their required items the children would take it over to the tills where two children were scanning their items and asking for payment. Handing over their money enable children to develop their mathematical skills, exploring language related to money and engaging with adults about the value of money and receiving cash back.
