Pre-School – Grasshoppers / Dragonflies

Children grow in confidence by the day and become more skilled in so many different areas. They’re physically more able, with fine motor skills developing. Their use of language flourishes and their enquiring minds are keen to know the answers to all life’s mysteries. Like little sponges, they soak up all the information and different experiences we can share with them.

In the Preschool Room, our team continues to plan activities to reflect the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for the development of preschool children. Each Preschool room has a dedicated teaching area where the children enjoy small group sessions with our pre-school early years trained staff. PreSchool Room is equipped with a computer and other interactive resources to encourage children’s understanding and knowledge of technology. There are opportunities to learn at every turn, including early reading and maths skills, mark making, imaginative play and ICT (Information and Communication Technology), which are reinforced through what we call ‘purposeful play’. At this point, we start to introduce a little more structure to the day, along with other activities such as baking (a great way of supporting early maths).

Our aim is to instil and encourage self-confidence and a real enjoyment of learning so when our dragonflies start school, they’re self assured and raring to go! Our dragonflies are ready to fly to new heights!
