Our Preschool children had a fantastic time playing their own World Cup match with Miss Ellie Rose and Miss Kamila today! ⚽️🌟

They were working together as a team, learning how to take turns, communicate with one another and support their teammates throughout the game. They also explored simple football rules, helping them to understand fairness, listening skills and the importance of following instructions.

Good Luck in Tonight’s Match England and Croatia ‼️‼️‼️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇭🇷

Our toddlers have been getting into the World Cup spirit with Miss Kelly and Miss Jenny by creating their own football patterns! ⚽️ Through exploring colours, shapes and repeating sequences, the children developed their early maths skills while having lots of fun designing football-themed patterns.

Well done, little football stars! 🌟⚽️

🔤🐭 Gruffalo Phonics 🦊🦉

Yesterday, our preschool children took part in a fun and engaging Gruffalo Phonics session with Miss Ellie-Rose. Using familiar objects and characters from her special phonics bag, the children carefully listened to the initial sound they could hear at the beginning of each word. They then identified the corresponding letter and practised forming it on their whiteboards💪🏻

By linking sounds to meaningful and familiar characters from a well loved story, the children were motivated to participate and develop their early literacy skills through play based learning😆

This activity supports children to:

✨Develop phonological awareness by identifying initial sounds in words.
✨Build early reading skills by making connections between sounds and letters.
✨Strengthen letter recognition and recall.
✨Practise correct letter formation and develop mark-making skills.
✨Enhance fine motor control through writing on whiteboards.
✨Develop listening and attention skills by focusing on spoken sounds.
✨Increase confidence when sharing answers and participating in group discussions.
✨Extend vocabulary through discussion of familiar story characters and objects.
✨Build the foundations for future reading and writing success.

The children showed fantastic listening skills and enthusiasm throughout the session. Well done, Preschool! 🌟📚
