Flying Start @ Helston Pre-Schoolers Get Messy With Paint!
The pre-schoolers at Flying Start @ Helston have been getting stuck right in with their hands to mix up new paints!
The children really enjoyed seeing the colours mixing together and see what colour they ended up with, as they used their hands in a full-sensory experience!
Flying Start @ Duchy’s Pre-School Visit The Honey Fair!
The pre-schoolers at Flying Start @ Duchy enjoyed a very exciting trip on the mini-bus into Callington, to visit The Honey Fair…
The staff and the children looked around all of the stalls, where they learned all about bees, and saw them up close, and then saw the honey! They also saw some owls, and listened to the noises they make!
A fantastic trip – just look at those happy faces!
Flying Start @ Duchy Enjoy Cooking Club!
The babies, toddlers and preschool at Flying Start @ Duchy have all been joining in with weekly cooking club! The children have enjoyed making lots of different treats to take home or eat for snack time, and they have been mixing, rolling, stirring, pouring, and spreading!
This week it was pitta pizzas on the menu! The children carefully spread the tomato puree on to the pitta and then sprinkled some cheese on top.
They all then had a choice of ham, tomatoes and peppers to place onto their pizza… The babies enjoyed tearing the ham and placing it, and the toddlers and preschool enjoyed cutting up peppers and tomatoes to put on their pizzas!
Once they had cooked and cooled down, the children enjoyed eating them for afternoon snack… Yum!
Flying Start @ Helston Bake Food From Fiji!
The children at Flying Start @ Helston have been combining cooking club with learning all about different cultures around the world…
And this week, they made Fiji Honey Cakes, which are a traditional Fijian sweet!
The children took in turns to add the ingredients, and to stir them all up, and then the mixture was baked in the oven.
While the cakes were cooking, the children and staff all chatted about what Fiji might be like, and their culture which is different to ours.
Once the cakes had cooled, the children got to try them and take them home – delicious!
Flying Start @ Helston Draw & Act Out Emotions For ‘World Mental Health Day’!
Flying Start @ Helston have been doing lots of activities exploring their feelings, in aid of World Mental Health Day…
The pre-school children drew pictures of what makes them happy, and what makes them sad, after discussing it all together… Look at these fantastic pictures!
The children all spoke about the different feelings that they sometimes have, and came up with words such as excited, happy, sad… the children then made the faces for each of these feelings to the camera, and those pictures were made into special decorations for a feelings tree!!
Finally, they got into a large group to do photos of different emotions… They particularly loved making silly faces for when they are feeling happy, excited, and silly!
Well done Helston for all these great activities – and lots of great facial expressions – exploring emotions today on World Mental Health Day!
