Young Risers Pre-School

It’s hard to believe we’ve been back at preschool for three weeks since summer half term. It’s been so lovely welcoming back our familiar faces as well as getting to know all of our new starters. Everyone has settled in so beautifully and it’s been wonderful watching the children grow in confidence make new friends and enjoy their time at preschool. This week we’ve been diving into the wonderful world of the Gruffalo. The children have enjoyed going on a Gruffalo hunt around the school grounds searching high and low for the different characters from the story. They have also been making their very own Gruffalo characters using paper plates and they’ve made yummy Gruffalo crumble ready for you and the children to enjoy at home👨🏼‍🍳

🎓Our class of 2026🎓What a truly special day we had celebrating all of our graduates! We are all so incredibly proud of each and every one of you. You sang beautifully and created so many beautiful memories that will stay will us forever. A huge thank you to all parents/families who came along to celebrate with us making the day so special to us and the children. Your support means a lot and never goes a miss. It’s been emotional saying goodbye to you all but we know you are more than ready for your next adventure and will shine bright in your new schools✨We couldn’t be prouder. Once a Young Riser always a Young Riser😁

Today we let our butterflies fly away 🦋 The children have really enjoyed learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly and watching their different stages. 🐛We even named them and sang to them whilst they flew away ☺️

We were so excited to hear that England won their first football game last night🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😁Today the children spoke about how football players look after themselves by eating healthy foods and staying active. We also discussed the importance of getting our 5 a day and how nutritious foods help us grow strong and healthy. We then put our learning into practice and the children became little chefs👨🏼‍🍳and made their own delicious fruit smoothie🥤Together they carefully chopped up the fruit, added it to the blender and watched as the ingredients transformed into tasty drinks. The best part was them raising a toast and saying cheers to their healthy creations before enjoying every sip.

Today is the day England play their first game in the World Cup, our little team are ready to cheer them on. Over the last few days we have been learning about the rules of football and talking about all the countries that are taking part in it. We’ve made our flags ready to support our team. Come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
