Dear Parents and Carers
Welcome to our weekly blog, we aim to send out an update of events, developments, news and activities throughout each month; this will replace our existing weekly email.
It has come to that time of year when we say goodbye to some of our pre-school children, we would like to wish Sadie, Charlie and Joe from Butterflies a great time at school at in the future.
Snails
This week the Snails will be concentrating on body parts, they will enjoy activities such as body painting with textures i.e. sand and paint, exploring their body parts in a mirror and pointing out eyes, ears and mouth, feet painting, exploring messy food with their hands and singing body part songs.
Days off – Sarah Friday
Caterpillars
This week the Caterpillars will be concentrating on communication, language and literacy; they will be mark making in cornflour with people, cars and animals, encouraging the children to say Ta the at the table as well as saying and waving hello and goodbye to key people, reading and looking at family books, building towers with blocks, singing songs and encouraging physical development through soft play.
Days off – Abi- Thursday Jamie – Friday
Ladybirds
This week the Ladybirds will be concentrating on Families and Friends. They will be making playdough together, making sensory bottles to take home, reading stories about families and friends, making a “what a baby needs book” and colouring in pictures of bottles etc, painting a picture of mummy and daddy, making a pasta photo frame for a family picture and role play with babies.
The ladybirds would like to show the children some ultrasound pictures and ask if you would be able to bring one in if possible so we could photocopy it.

Butterflies
This week the Butterflies will continue to look at the Para-Olympics; they are going to play ‘Blind Man’s Bluff’ in the garden, practice hopping and crawling instead of running, have a 3 legged race in the garden and they will use bikes to play “What’s the Time Mr Wolf”. They will also be feeling toys with their eyes closed describing textures, cutting out shapes one handed and food tasting whilst blindfolded.
The preschool are holding a prince and princess party on 30th August to raise money for charity, they will do lots of prince/princess activities and ask all children to dress up for the day.

Our Chef Wendy.M is on annual leave Friday but her assistant Wendy.N will take over the cooking for the day.
The First Aid for Parents’ course will take place on Saturday 13th October from 9:30-11:30. We still have 5 available places for any parents that are interested. Please be aware these will be given on a first come first served basis so if you would like a place, please see myself or Michelle.
We are also planning a picnic in the park (Stoke Park) on Saturday 13th October at 12pm to celebrate the nursery’s 9th Birthday; we invite all parents and children to join us on the Stoke Park fields and bring a dish of your choice. We will also have a contingency plan in place if the weather is wet such as gazebos and floor mats. We hope to see you all join us to celebrate our birthday.
Kind Regards
Leanne
