African Adventures for our Pre-schoolers
Our pre-schoolers have been learning all about Africa.
Our pre-schoolers have helped transform the pre-school room into an African village.
Nestled in one corner is a vibrantly coloured African hut, whilst outside African animals, such as lions, cheetahs, giraffes and elephants roam the savannah – ok, the reading corner!
The children have created wonderful artwork of African scenes for the art board. In the last few days, they’ve been busy making coloured African pots out of papier-mâché.
The children have really enjoyed hearing imaginative stories about native creatures such as ’Milly the Meerkat’, however, one book that has had them all absolutely hooked is a large encyclopaedia all about African animals – bursting with images and animal facts.
As well as playing adding and subtraction games to help the children develop early maths skills, Mary has been working closely with the children on literacy and language.
Alongside matching sounds to words, they’ve been practising writing words beginning with the letter ‘N’.
Next stop on our pre-schoolers’ world tour is Australia, which will start at the end of October.
