Preschool 3 assembly!

Last week, Rainbow and Daffodil classes presented songs they have been learning at the Preschool 3 assembly. These songs were related to our Unit of Inquiry about Products, in particular, food. The children performed very well and had  fun singing Pat A Cake, I’m a Little Teapot and Hot Potato for the parents, other preschool classes and teachers.  Good job Preschool 3! Also thank you to Ms. Catherine who made some lovely chefs hats for Rainbow class.Assembly June 012 Assembly June 020 Assembly June 033

School trip to Carluccios!

On Sunday the children went on a school trip to Carluccios. They had a great time there, learning how to make pizza dough and then their own pizzas! At the end of the trip they tasted what they had made. It connected very well to our Unit of Inquiry about ‘Products’ and how food goes through a process of change before it reaches us. _MG_4173 _MG_4182

 

Cooking!

Preschool Three have been cooking every week during our unit about Products. So far we have made rice krispie buns and pizza. Tomorrow, Rainbow Class will be cooking bread and observing the changes bread goes through as it is being made. Also as part of this Unit of Inquiry, we have discussed food origins as well as clothes and how certain types of clothes are made, in particular wool clothes. The children have also been creating a large collage which shows a mother hen with her baby chicks, laying some eggs. The children have worked hard to complete this collage, using paint, cotton wool and yellow shredded paper.  The children have really enjoyed learning all these new concepts throughout this Unit!

Preschool 3 trip to Roza Hassad!

Our Preschool 3 classes took a visit to Roza Hassad. We left bright and early at 8.00am from the school. Our group consisted of our Preschool 3 classes, our Preschool 3 teachers and four parents who kindly volunteered to join us for the trip. We began our trip in the showroom. The children sat down and watched a nice slide show about plants, which was accompanied by relaxing music. Then, our group leader directed us into beautiful greenhouses. Our Preschool 3 classes REALLY enjoyed exploring the greenhouses and smelling the different flowers.
