This Week in Preschool!
We have had a week full of autumn and pumpkin fun as we explored the changing season, learned about kindness, and got creative with pumpkins! Here's a look at what we've been up to:

Patch the Pumpkin & Preschool Rules
We learned all about Patch the Pumpkin and his Peace Club. Inspired by Patch, we created our very own preschool rules:

  • We will be kind.
  • We will share.
  • We will help others.
  • We will include everybody.


These rules will help guide us in being thoughtful and kind members of our preschool community!

Story of the Week: It Was a Cold, Dark Night
Our story this week was "It Was a Cold, Dark Night," where we followed the hedgehog on his search for a cosy bed of leaves in the autumn. This led to some fun hide and seek games as we searched for hidden hedgehogs and practiced using our positional language to describe where we found them; under, in, and behind various objects.

Rhyme of the Week: 3 Little Leaves
We sang the rhyme "3 Little Leaves" this week, which helped us practice counting and understanding that even though the leaves fell to the ground, there were still 3 leaves altogether. The children enjoyed linking movement with counting as the leaves "fell."

Autumn Walk: Signs of Autumn
We took an autumn walk around the school grounds to spot the signs of autumn. Here's what we noticed:

  • Colourful leaves had fallen to the ground.
  • Apples were still hanging on the trees in the orchard.
  • And even though the sun was shining, the air was cold and breezy, reminding us that autumn is truly here.


Pumpkin Crafts & Activities
To celebrate the season, we enjoyed lots of pumpkin crafts and activities:
We painted pumpkins.
We used shapes and pins to tap designs into them.
We washed the pumpkins, explored the inside of them, and drew and colored our very own pumpkin creations.
The children were fascinated by all the different ways they could explore and create with pumpkins!

Wishing You a Wonderful Half-Term Break!

We hope you all have a lovely half-term break and enjoy some autumn fun at home. We'll see you back in preschool soon for more learning and adventures!

This week has been packed with creativity, exploration, and learning about kindness. Be sure to ask your child about their favorite pumpkin activity or what they noticed on our autumn walk!
