All About Me...

Team work

Counting pumpkins, number recognition

Printing leaves

Getting to know each other, the ball game

Bug matching

Looking for bugs in the soil

We looked in the mirror to see what colour eyes we had. We then took the correct colour sticker and placed it on the chart. We noticed that there were more blue eyed children in preschool.

We then painted pictures of what we saw in the mirror. 

Exploring vegetables - what are they? Where do they come from? How do they grow? What do they taste / smell / feel like?

Vegetable printing

Sensory play

Practising our mark making, drawing crosses on the board.

The children have done really well with the letter 'S' so we have started looking at the letter 'A'
