This Week in Preschool
This week the children have been enjoying the story “My Mum”. We have shared lots of discussions about our families and the special people who care for us.
The children have loved caring for the baby dolls, bathing them and looking after their needs. This has encouraged lots of nurturing play, communication and imaginative thinking.
In our maths activities, the children explored 2D shapes while creating houses. They worked hard to name and recognise rectangles, squares and triangles, discussing the different shapes they used in their designs.
The children also had great fun making their own alien families with play dough, using their imagination and creativity to create unique characters. They continued their family theme by drawing pictures of their own families, focusing on enclosing spaces and adding more detail to their drawings.
In the sand tray, the children sorted the bear families by colour and size, developing their early mathematical skills through grouping and comparing objects.
We have also enjoyed revisiting familiar stories and retelling them using our teddy bear characters. The children showed growing confidence in recalling key events and bringing the stories to life through role play and storytelling.
It has been a lovely week full of creativity, imagination and learning as we explored the theme of families together! 😊
