Please make sure that the children have welly boots in school all the time as we love going outside in all different types of weather.
Welcome back!
We hope you had a lovely half term break and are ready for our last half term!
This half term starts off with a pirate theme. The classroom role play area has been transformed into the inside of a ship and all the costumes are ready for the children to enjoy. We have lots of other pirate activities as well for the children to enjoy...they can hunt for buried treasure in the sand outside, make a pirate puzzle on our green table, create a pirate hat in our Creative area and sort shells in our Maths area. We will be learning about what life was like as a pirate and we will be practising how pirates might talk. We might even practise walking the plank in our PE lessons.
Later on this half term we will be developing our theme further to include the sea. We will be thinking about what lives in the sea and what vehicles we use to travel across the water.
As we approach the summer holiday we will be thinking about the seaside and the holidays the children might have been on. If you have any photographs of the children we will be
We will be having two transition mornings this half term which all the children can participate in, even if they won't be joining our Reception class in September. We will have a teddy bears' picnic to welcome our new children as well in the last week of the term and there is also our preschool Sports Morning to look forward to. Look out for information about all of these in our weekly letter and in the information pack you will receive soon if your child will be attending Binley Woods Primary School.
We hope your children enjoy the last half term in preschool!
