News from Poppies Pre-School

News from Poppies & Poppyfields Nursery

Spring is knocking at our door and bringing beautiful opportunities for our children to enjoy! We have been looking at new life and growth, including frogs, sheep, and lambs. We have been exploring flowers and seed planting and grew ‘Sweet Potato’ characters which gave children opportunity to understand what plants need to grow. We have also compared heights; of ourselves and buildings which was great fun as children created tall structures!

We have welcomed new families into Poppies life this term and are enjoying getting to know them. New children are settling well and getting to know our gardens, builder’s yards and play spaces. Staff have all researched mini ‘Topic Ideas’ , which children are being introduced to, including ‘large scale construction’ , ‘fun with water’ , ‘music’ , ‘loose parts’ and ‘concepts of Reggio Emilia’ . These have added an even greater depth of opportunities for our children’s enquiring minds!

Our breakfast and after school children have been equally busy, with sports activities, den building and fun with Spring inspired paints and crafts!
