Things to do at Home
Encourage the children to think and talk about the seasons and the changes these bring. Discuss with the children what they like to do when playing outside at pre-school and inform your child’s key person. Take a trip to the supermarket and encourage your children to explore the vegetables and fruits looking at different textures using their senses. Introduce our new French words. Talk to the children about the Queens Jubilee and what we are celebrating.
Please bring in from home
