Thank you Kerry Epstein for the donation of your double rabbit hutch. We are now able to home our rabbits in a bigger hutch when they are not at Pre-school. Our furry friends will love it! https://t.co/ei01fATdpP

Another big thank you to Kevin O'Shea who donated £500 this morning to our cause 💗 We really do appreciate the support our community are giving at this time.

The children in Blossom Room have really enjoyed their space project this week. Take a look of what they have been up to https://t.co/ei01fATLfn

The children in Willow Room have enjoyed exploring magnets. The children learnt new vocabulary such as attract and repel, pull and push. Magnets also help children develop their fine motor skills, spacial awareness and hand and eye co-ordination. https://t.co/ei01fATdpP

There is lots of opportunities that supports children to develop their fine motor skills ready for writing. Some of our older children who are due to go to school in September, have begun attempting writing their name independently. . https://t.co/ei01fATdpP

Its all about space this week at Pre-school! https://t.co/ei01fATdpP

Today is World Book Day. Our children and staff have come in dressed in their pyjamas ready for a bedtime story or come as a favourite story character! Can you guess what characters we are?

We decided to make some fruit smoothies. The children learnt how the blender worked, chose their fruit and mixed together the different colours of fruit to make their drink. https://t.co/ei01fATdpP

This half term has been finished off with our final Big Cook, Little Cook session. Who doesn't enjoy pancake making? We can't wait for the next ones! https://t.co/ei01fATdpP #parentpartnerships #cooking #eyfs

Yesterday we held our first 'Big Cook, Little Cook' workshops and it was a big success! Well done to all our parents and children that attended and was able to pull out so much learning

We had Valentines early at the Pre-school and the children explored printing, valentines playdough and making valentines hearts. https://t.co/ei01fATdpP

Our next parent workshop for our pre-school children will be a "Big cook, little cook" session making pancakes. Encouraging parents to help their child to follow sequencing cards, weigh out ingredient's, estimate and create their own toppings. https://t.co/ei01fATdpP

Sensory projectors are a great way for children to learn using their senses of sight, touch and hear. The children enjoyed swimming their way through the fish and water and for other children this became their attention grabber to help them develop those attention skills.

Today's story was Aladdin which was set up in the tuff tray with lots of open ended resources and treasure. The children have enjoyed exploring these items and enhancing their role play experiences. https://t.co/ei01fATdpP

The Pre-school children received a wonderful dolls house last week. Small world play is really important for young children as it allows them to act out roles and scenarios and imitate everyday actions from their own family, culture and backgrounds. https://t.co/ei01fATdpP

Our youngest children are encouraged to learn a new nursery rhyme each week. This week our focus rhyme is 'row row row your boat'. #CommunicationandLanguage #EYFS #Literacy #Rhymes https://t.co/ei01fATdpP

Our tuff tray this week has had red and yellow rice for children to explore. They were able to develop their skills of scooping and pouring and recall their knowledge with the concept of full and empty. https://t.co/ei01fATdpP
