Dear Parents,

I wanted to inform you of our intended activities which are based around animals, and we will introduce 2 letter sounds a week through listening games and circle time.

If your child has any games that they would like to share in preschool then please do bring them in and we can all enjoy a wide range of games.

The home corner is a vet's so if you have any toys or accessories that are suitable then please bring them in.

I would like to introduce the Deputy Helyn Powell, and once we have our third member of staff the children will have an allocated Key worker that you can talk to about any aspects of your child's time in Pre-school.

Below is a rough guide to our activities which we will cover over the next two and a half weeks.

Week 3

5th - 9th May Our Pets.

We shall be enjoying animal books including a selection by Dick King Smith, Smelly Bill Stinks Again and many others.

Along with pet pictures and masks we will be planning our vegetable plot.

The sounds 'a' and 'f' so if you have anything to display on our sounds table please bring it in.

Week 4
