What a colourful few weeks we’ve had!
We’ve had so much fun exploring colours at Ickford Pre-School, getting messy, creative and curious along the way!
Now it’s time to move on to shapes, and this week we’re going round and round with the circle!
We’ll be:
Using yummy circular fruit for mark making and painting
Baking some delicious lemon drizzle cakes
Having a go at sewing and practising some fine motor skills with some careful threading
There will be lots of exploring, creating, learning and, of course, plenty of fun!
Don’t forget to have a look through the photos on this post to see some of the lovely things we’ve been getting up to recently at pre-school.
We wonder how many circles we’ll spot this week…

This week at Ickford Pre-School, we’re taking inspiration from the colour BLUE!

We have lots of exciting activities planned for the children, including:

Baking: We’ll be making delicious blueberry muffins together for the children to take home and enjoy.

Arts & crafts: We have lots of creative ideas to explore, including bubble painting using dish soap, blue paint and straws.

Playdough fun: The children can get creative with our homemade blue playdough, making models and exploring different shapes and textures.

Mindfulness & yoga: As blue is often associated with calm and relaxation, we’ll be enjoying some mindfulness and yoga activities with the children too.

Last week was all about RED!

Take a look through our pictures on our Facebook Page to see some of the fun things we got up to!

We hope you all have a lovely week!

 
 WELCOME BACK TO ICKFORD PRE-SCHOOL!

We hope everyone has had a fantastic summer filled with lots of fun, sunshine and special memories! We’re so happy to be back and ready for another exciting year of learning, playing and growing together!

A very warm WELCOME to all our new starters and their families — we’re so excited to get to know you! And of course, a huge WELCOME BACK to all of our returning children. It’s lovely to see your happy faces again!

Our theme this year is “Back to Basics”

This week, we’re focusing on the colour RED and getting stuck into some lovely hands-on activities, including: Making our own homemade playdough, painting with natural inks made from ingredients such as beetroot or brambles and baking some delicious red velvet cupcakes.

Exploring everything RED through our play, creativity and learning

We’re looking forward to another wonderful year and can’t wait to watch all of our children learn, develop, discover and grow throughout the year.
Here’s to a fantastic year ahead at Ickford Pre-School!

We have so much fun at Pre-School and as this is our new blog, we are adding some pictures from what we have been up to so far this academic year.

We plan and do many different activities, here are a selection of pictures from this year so you can see what we have done so far.
