Today our little explorers have explored how shadows are made & noticed how the sun helps to create them. The children have loved watching their shadows stretch, shrink & dance as they move around.

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.
