This week in preschool, the children will learn about keeping their bodies healthy by focusing on the heart and lungs. They will also work on rhyming words through stories, poems and games. The letters S and A will be introduced. At home, parents should read rhyming stories, encourage trying new fruits and vegetables, and find objects starting with S and A. Children must stay home if sick and clothes should be labeled.

1. Preschool Year 2
Dear Parents, 16 – 20 January
Activities we will be doing in Preschool
 This term we will be talking about our bodies and how we can keep them
healthy. Over the next couple of weeks we will be concentrating on the
heart and lungs as we look at how we exercise to make them strong and
fit.
 We will be reading lots of rhyming stories and poems and playing lots of
rhyming games to encourage the children to hear and recognise rhyming
words.
 We will be introducing the children to the letters ‘s’ and ‘a’ and
encouraging them to name objects that begin with these sounds.
Activities to do at home
 Read rhyming stories with your child and talk about words that rhyme with
simple words like cat, dog, pig, etc.
 As we are talking about healthy living we will be looking at a variety of
fruit and vegetables. Encourage your child to try a new type of fruit or
vegetable and let us know which ones they like, or don’t like.
 Look for objects in your home that begin with the letters ‘s’ and ‘a’
Notices
 Please remember that if your child has been sick or has had diarrhoea they
must not attend preschool for 48 hours.
 Please name your children’s jumpers and coats to enable us to give the
correct garment to your child.
