Welcome back to a new term. In this term’s newsletter, you will find important information about what your child will be learning in RE.

This week, pre-school have enjoyed exploring the garden and areas within the classroom. They particularly enjoyed pretending to be various animals during their PE sessions and finding different ways to move their bodies.

On Wednesday afternoons, we will be joined by Funbox Jo for a fun-filled session combining music, movement and signing. During each session, the children will learn Signalong signs alongside familiar and exciting songs. This is a wonderful way to encourage children’s spoken language, communication and confidence, while also supporting their health and well-being. Most importantly, the sessions are all about having lots of fun, singing, moving and learning together!

On Wednesday mornings, the children will enjoy a fun and engaging PE session with Mr Edwards. These sessions are designed to support the development of important physical skills, including gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, balance and spatial awareness. Through a range of playful activities and games, the children will also learn about the importance of staying healthy, keeping active and looking after their bodies. Please ensure your child comes to preschool wearing

The children have had a wonderful two weeks settling into pre-school. They have enjoyed exploring and playing in all the areas of provision and have been making new friends. Well done children!
