Another fantastic week of learning this week at preschool. The children have embraced the Owl topic at group times and have retained some fantastic knowledge.

The children’s favourite fact, and the one they found particularly funny was Owls are nocturnal. As well as learning facts about Owls the children have also enjoyed listening to the Owl Babies story, making owl masks and owl pictures using feathers and leaves and using the owl babies props during play to re tell the story.

The children also made some owl nest cakes with Miss Sharon and Miss Hayley, they talked about the importance of hand washing before the activity started and there was some great waiting to do the mixing. They discussed how owls made their nests and what they might use to make them cosy! The children may have had a taste test once the nests had been put into the cases.

There has been a great deal of role play happening again this week. Inside the children have made a bus out of chairs and have really enjoyed playing with the babies that Miss Sharon has let us borrow. They have shown some great care giving skills.

Outside in the garden the pretend bricks have been used in a variety of ways, the children have worked so well together to build a campfire and a racing track. The children particularly enjoy sharing their ‘family books’ with their peers, if your child hasn’t got one at preschool please do send us some photos to print and we can make a book for your child or alternatively Freeprints also have an app to make photo books.
