This week has been buzzing with excitement as we celebrated World Bee Day and engaged in a variety of fun and educational activities. Here is a glimpse of our week filled with learning, creativity, and outdoor adventures.

On Monday we learned all about bees, their importance to our environment, and how they help pollinate plants.
The children created beautiful repeating pattern bee crafts, enhancing their fine motor skills and understanding of patterns.
We sang a delightful bee finger rhyme and listened to several engaging bee stories, making our celebration both fun and educational.

In our literacy activities we continued exploring "Handa's Surprise," enjoying the story and discussing our favorite parts. We also shared and read some of our favorite stories, fostering a love for reading and storytelling.

We practiced subitising up to 3 using magic beans and fruit patterns, developing our number recognition and counting skills.

Our PE session included Sticky Kids exercises and we also enjoyed sessions of Squiggle and Dough Gym, which are excellent for gross motor development and coordination.

We learned about the importance of cleaning our teeth and practiced brushing in the water tray with some cool, engaging resources.

Our older preschoolers focused on the sound 'i' this week. We all also enjoyed Fred Talking and playing the "Cross the River" game, which helped reinforce their phonics skills in a fun, interactive way.

Despite the weather, we had lots of fun outdoors, rain or shine we embraced the elements by jumping in muddy puddles and playing in the rain.
We put on imaginative shows, played in the sand, and zoomed around with the cars, making the most of our outdoor time.

We are very happy with how our sunflowers have grown and we hope you post us some photos onto seesaw to show us how tall they grow at home. 

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in your child's preschool journey. We hope you have a wonderful week and look forward to another fantastic term together when we will be looking at the wonderful world of mini beasts!
