Christmas is looming again ...... so if you are feeling that time is running away, and you haven't started your shopping - why not book an extra session for your child at pre-school to give yourself some time to start preparing for the Chrsistmas festivities...

Sessions are charged at £16 (French club at Cheapside on Fridays £20)  and lunch supervision is £5.  Please ask a member of staff at your pre-school setting, as spaces are limited.

Music & Movement with Art & Crafts at Cheapside

After a fun time last week exploring our new activity, 'Write Dance', we will be continuing to use music to enhance our fine and gross motor skills to aid our pre-writing skills. The children (and staff!!) have had great fun dancing and painting to all kinds of music and it has been fascinating to watch as the children move in different ways to the music, interpreting in their own way, slow and fast, loud and soft.

This week, we will also be introducing the children to 'Gym Dough', which requires them to squeeze and squish play dough in time to the music. We're sure we'll be having lots of fun!!

Music and movement at Cheapside this week

Last week we had great fun in our role play area, pretending we were at the vets! The children have decided that they had so much fun, that they are keeping the vets for another week. On Wednesday afternoon, we decided to go on an adventure. The children walked to Windsor Great Park where they had a mini Forest School experience. Most were covered in mud but very happy!

This week, we will be continuing to create our outdoor music area with all the pots, pans and spoons that you have been sending in (thank you). We will also be exploring music and movement through 'Write Dance'. Write Dance is an approach and method that provides movement opportunities so children can develop the physical skills needed to develop their handwriting skills. The movement is driven by the music and the underlying principle is enjoyment to build confidence. We will be using music as diverse as Tchaikovsky to Elvis or One Direction to Strauss, so it's bound to be lots of fun for everyone!!

A festive start to Term 2 at Cheapside....

This week we will be exploring Bonfire Night and Diwali, two cultural events in one week! For Diwali, we will be telling candlelit stories, making a display using articles brought back from India by an ex pupil and listening to some lovely Music.

For Bonfire Night, we will be making a large firework picture to hang in pre-school. We'll probably end up really messy, so if your child comes home splattered in paint, you'll know they've had a great time.

Don't forget the sausage sizzle at South Ascot this Friday, we'd love to see you all there!
