A little about Saplings Class

Our preschool children have their own purpose built classroom and we are lucky enough to have extensive grounds , so the children benefit from playing and learning in the outdoor classroom, the pencil garden, the forest school as well as getting to use all the play equipment on the playground and field. 

Our Aims

* To provide the highest quality early care and education for each child, everyday.
* To nurture each child's unique qualities and potential
* To work in partnership with parents to help children to learn through play and develop mentally, physically and socially.
* To have as much fun as possible.

Our Themes this term are:

Summer 1 - Sunshine and Sunflowers

This seasonal project provides opportunities for outdoor learning and teaches children how to care for the plants and animals in their local environment and how to stay safe in the sun.

Summer 2 - Animal Safari

This project teaches children about the animals that live around the world, how to look after animals and the importance of caring for our local and global environments.

Forest School

Here at Kensworth Pre-school we offer Forest school sessions every week. 
The children have the opportunity to make trails, build dens, learn about nature, and work with their imaginations. It would also be good if children could have a pair of named wellies and a puddle suit that stay in school as we also make trips to our pencil garden allotment and onto the school field.
