Celebrations! (February 2024)

What fun we’ve been having in preschool! We’ve been learning about and celebrating a few events this week! From pancake day, to Valentine’s Day to Chinese New Year! To celebrate pancake day we enjoyed some imaginative roleplay as we pretended to make our own pancakes! We shared the story “The Wolfs Pancakes” and made our own lists of what ingredients we need to make pancakes but unlike the characters in the story, we all helped each other and were very kind and helpful! We enjoyed eating some yummy pancakes! For Valentine’s Day we focused on what love means to us and how it makes us feel! We enjoyed taking it in turns to each give our friends compliments and describe what we love about each other! We made some beautiful Valentine’s Day cards too! Today we have had an amazing day celebrating Chinese new year! We have enjoyed lots of Chinese crafts - paintings, making dragon paper chains and Chinese fans! We had lots of fun dancing to Chinese music with our dragons! We also learnt about the Great Wall of China and got busy building our own version in the construction area! Of course we enjoyed some yummy food tasting and tasted some Chinese food! We also made our own fortune cookies in our Playdough area! We’re sure you’ll agree we’ve been very busy and had so much fun! We’re looking forward to a week off ready to come back after half term for lots more fun and learning! We hope all our families have an amazing half term!
