Paying Our Respects
On Friday our Pre-School children visited the Cenotaph to lay their own poppy wreaths, look at the poppy bench and soldier’s boots & hats.
The children asked lots of questions and they discussed what would happen at Sunday’s Remembrance Parade.
The children listened well and were very respectful.
Halloween
Our Pre-School team are all dressed up and ready to welcome our little pumpkins for a fang-tastic Halloween Dress-up party day! We can’t wait to see the children’s amazing costumes and share a day of spooky fun and laughter
CELEBRATING VE DAY
Our children had a great time last week at Pre-School celebrating VE Day!
The week started off with our children making their own bunting flags
Later in the week we had a tea party. The children made their own sandwiches & cakes and even poured themselves a nice cup of tea in the water play area.
SPRING IS HERE!
On Thursday at Pre-School we had a lovely visit from a very new Bollington resident.. a tiny lamb, just 7 days old!
It was a lovely opportunity for the children to learn about the world we live in, our community and life cycles.
The children listened and followed instructions well, for not just handling/stroking the lamb but also the importance of handwashing.
Out in the community
With it being such a beautiful day, the Little Explorers wanted to the make the most of it and took a trip this afternoon to The Rec…They enjoyed a run around with the football, went on a ‘bear hunt’ through the woodland and then once they got back read ‘We are going on a Bear Hunt’ story
We just love to get out into the community!
At Bollington Pre-School at any given opportunity we love to get out in the community..
The children have enjoyed a visit to Bellfield’s bakery, the canal and the Library
Online Safety
At Pre-School we encourage all parents and carers to monitor what their children are watching on social media to ensure that it is age-appropriate and suitable for them to watch.
Some programmes can be misleading as they often look like cartoons or educational programmes.
Remembrance day week
This week we have been speaking to the children about Remembrance Day and the significance of Poppy’s.
Today the children have enjoyed transforming our red bus into an army vehicle and making a trench with a member of staff.
During the week there will be remembrance related activities and on Thursday some of our children will visit the memorial gardens to pay their respects.
Getting School Ready
In the coming weeks lots of our Pre-School children will be visiting their new schools ready for September.
To support these transitions we have introduced a school role play area and lots of the children have enjoyed exploring this area today and wearing the different uniforms
