The Term Ahead at White Tree Preschool

 

Welcome back to a new term where our focus will be Spring.  Spring has sprung and we will investigate the natural wonders around us – flowers and new growth as well as life cycles in the animal kingdom.  We will make some beautiful butterfly and spider prints as well as programming our ICT Bee’bot’ and reading the Hungry Caterpillar.  Our Home Corner will be a picnic and BBQ area and we will find out about healthy exercise, meditation and food groups.  We will also investigate natural and everyday resources through our heuristic play.

 

In the middle of term, we will have a fairytale theme – children will be welcome to wear fairytale costumes and bring in fairytales from home to read with the group.  There will be counting of magic beans, threading of magic wands, and the ever popular 3 Bears Home Corner.

 

At the end of term, we will have a Superhero theme.  There will a Superhero challenge area and a Superhero Home Corner.  We will even make our own superhero accessories from junk modelling!

 

We will continue to explore the Downs for signs of Spring and think about how to care for the environment during our Outdoor Learning trips.  The weather is very changeable so please check the forecast and send your child in appropriate clothing.  Please remember that wellies are still needed in the spring.
