It has been a busy Summer term at Melbourn Playgroup & Melbourn Out Of School Club (MOOS). The Playgroup has been getting the older children ready for their transition to school. We have the fortunate position of being situated on the Melbourn Primary School grounds, which has presented some wonderful opportunities for the children. The children have been on walks around the school field finding natural materials and looking for bugs. They have had the chance to practice Sports Day and enjoy the full use of the schools outdoor facilities, something we would like to thank the school for.
Fun in our outdoor area
We have had a great time taking the children in for special school lunches to get used to holding the tray and eating in the school hall; giving them the chance to experience first hand what it is going to be like at school. Practising changing into P.E. kits has also been great fun – although the P.E. lessons tend to take less time than getting changed! These simple but important skills seemed to really help the children last year and I am sure will help this year when starting on their big adventure to school. We would like to take this opportunity to wish all the pre-schoolers lots of fun in September and we will of course miss them all, but know they are all ready for the next part of the educational journey. We look forward to welcoming back all of our younger children, in September. melbournmagazine
