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!

We have been developing our fine and gross motor skills in preschool. We have been threading beads, riding bikes, building, playing racing games and creating our own artwork.

We go outside even if the weather is cold. We are learning how to communicate and play with our friends.

When we are kind in school our names get put into the Kindness Cave. Then we get to take Woody the bear home for the night. When we come into school the next day we tell all our friends what we got up to with Woody!

We love building in preschool. Look at our brilliant models. We also love jigsaws and are getting really good at putting all the pieces in the right places.

We have such fun in preschool! Look at all the things we have in our classroom!

We really enjoyed our Christmas play. Look at all our wonderful costumes...don't we look fabulous! We were very proud of the children for performing so well on the stage.
