Our Learning
Our Current topic is 'The Gingerbread Man'. During this topic we have looked at different versions of the book and compared them. We have also completed some STEM challenges: building a bridge for the Gingerbread man to go over the river and creating boats to float across the river.
Throughout the topic we have learnt lots of new words such as; float, sink, measure, predict and test. The children have explored all areas of the curriculum through this book with an empahsis on oracy and reasoning.
We even had to solve a mystery in Pre-school; somebody had visited Pre-school and made an awful mess. We had to look for clues to solve the mystery of the messy pre-school. The children thought carefully about the clues and predicted who had made the mess.
Luckily the security camera captured some video of the culprit!!
As part of our bespoke curriculum, we explore the childrens interests and passions in order to promote intrigue, exploration a creativity. Recently, the children took part in a 'Super Hero Training day' where they took part in lots of physical activities to develop their core strength, coordination and proprioception.
Quality books are at the centre of our Pre-school day and children have plenty of opportunity to enjoy stories with friends and adults in the setting. Our 'Fridge lending Library' has provided all of our children with access to some wonderful books that they can take home and share with their familiy.
