This week preschool has been learning about how to stay safe while using the internet. Tuesday was safer internet day, so we read Chicken Clickin’, a book about a chicken who meets a friend on the internet and plans to meet them. However, the friend turns out to be a big bad wolf. We discussed the meaning of the story and sat down and created a mind map of the different ways we can keep safe while using the internet.
The children in the Day Nursery @ Flying Start Cornwall College have been exploring Christmas playdough. The children love anything creative and messy so got suck straight in. The children used their fine motor skills to roll the play dough into balls to make snowmen and snowballs. Whilst playing, they spoke about what they were doing. The children also practiced their Christmas singing, particularly enjoying the song ‘Christmas Pudding’.
This week the preschool children @ Flying Start Cornwall College have been learning about and celebrating Thanksgiving. We’ve made a range of turkeys, using our handprints, feathers, and sponges with paint. We’ve also been talking about what we are thankful for, drawing it on a leaf to put on our thankful tree.
The preschool children @ Flying Start Cornwall College have been using the tinkering set in the outdoor classroom. They’ve been hammering golf tees into pumpkins and making patterns using nails and string. We’ve talked about the importance of using the tools safely and together wrote some golden rules to follow.
Flying Start at Cornwall College have been learning about Remembrance Day. The children in Preschool coloured in their poppies and wore them during the 2-minute silence at 11 o’clock. They’ve also been exploring colours using the pipettes and creating poppies using the transient art. The Pre-schoolers also remembered the animals who lost their lives by making purple poppies. The children in Day Nursery also made poppies out of different materials and watched a video on why we take part in remembrance day.
The Preschool children @ Flying Start Cornwall College have been learning about Bonfire Night. They’ve been making fireworks with paint and bonfires with tissue paper. We’ve also been talking about fire safety, and how to stay safe when around fires and fireworks.

This week Preschool @ Flying Start Cornwall College have been rescuing dinosaurs from ice eggs. They used different tools to break down the ice, such as chop sticks and tweezers, and then watched as they poured salt onto the ice to see how it makes it melt faster. They used toothbrushes and paint brushes to rub the salt into the ice to speed up the melting process.
Flying Start @ Cornwall College preschool have been creating story boards. Just loo at the fantastic detail!
