Welcome to Pre-School
Summer Term in Pre-School
Our theme this term is Courage
The inspirational texts on our Summer bookshelf will inspire our learning across the curriculum.
We will develop our understanding of the books and learn about ways we can show courage and be brave in a world we know now and a world yet to be discovered.
‘Tad’ is a big story about a tiny tadpole – about growing up, branching out, and taking a leap into life.
‘Jabari Tries’ helps us understand that it is ok to be scared of doing something you’ve never done before.
Learning about the inspirational life of ‘Maya Angelou’ who showed courage to express her views and opinions.
‘All Are Welcome’ is a bright and uplifting celebration of cultural diversity and belonging, where all children are welcome in the classroom
‘Pink is for boys’ invites and encourages girls and boys to enjoy what they love to do.
‘Lost in the City’ is a charming and heartfelt tale of adventure about finding your self-confidence.
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
We will be working collaboratively, taking responsibility for our actions, understanding emotions and solving conflicts.
Physical Development
We will be developing our fine motor skills and working on core strength and co-ordination.
