News from Sherington Pre-School
The children aT Sherington Pre-School enjoy a rich and diverse learning experience in a fun-loving, warm and caring setting.
We were delighted that our Pre-School was recently awarded a Quality and access grant from Milton Keynes council totalling almost £3000. This substantial grant has enabled us to purchase some fantastic brightly coloured tables, new chairs, several floor-coverings, abundant new soft-seating as well as several key pieces of play and learning equipment. We are extremely grateful that the council agreed to support our efforts to both improve the quality and accessibility of our setting, and to enhance our delivery of the eYFS curriculum.
We were most pleased to have much of this new equipment in place just in time for the Sherington Preschool’s latest Open day which took place on the 15th February. it is our view that obtaining this furniture
and equipment has been fundamental to us providing an improved setting with more distinct spatial differentiation, where each activity-area is clearly separated by either physical objects or intuitive visual clues. This improved environment supports the ways in which our children interact whilst encouraging them to explore the setting in full, and learn independently.
here at Sherington, we aim to provide an innovative and stimulating learning environment. Shortly after new Year, the children were extremely pleased to receive a visit from Golf-pro, danny Poulter.
danny kindly brought in his golf clubs and air balls to show the children how to stand properly and hit the ball. it was very entertaining particularly when he drove the balls to hit the ceiling. The children were of course, utterly delighted!
right now, we’re
working really hard,
and seeking some
additional funds to
fully develop our exciting new project, ‘home-grown in Sherington’. This project fits neatly into our overall theme of ‘Journeys and Outings’ and will see us take the children on a series of exploratory walks around the village. during each outing, they will make their own discoveries and learn about the animals, vegetables, fruit and crops that surround them. if anyone feels they could support this project either financially, or in other ways, then please do contact us.
Finally, we would like to thank all our friends who supported our all- new Mad March hare affair on Saturday 12th March. The event was a great success and lots of fun.
