Bisley Pre-school went to Fisher Farm! We were very lucky to have such lovely weather. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves the teachers certainly did!! 
A big thank you to Mrs Hunt who brought in her tractor. The children enjoyed sitting inside and learning new facts.
Today the children were scientists and experimented with raisins and lemonade .
The link below is a video of what happened.
Over February Half Term the teachers have been into Pre-school to update the garden with the arrival of new toys, decorations and equipment. They have also painted the fences to enhance the children's outdoor learning environment.
At the beginning of the year we enjoyed a brief flurry of snow. The children were very excited and playing in the snow and made a snowman.
The children celebrated VE day (70 years since world war two ended) by dressing up in red white and blue. The role play area was set up as a street party and the children made cakes and decorated them with red, white and blue icing.

The children made Poppy hats and wore them when they went next door to the Day Centre for the Two Minute Silence. All the children sat beautifully whilst participating in the Two Minute Silence all the teachers were very proud of all the children.
Last Week was Pet Week at Pre-school and the children had some very special visitors. Mrs Lakeman brought in her rabbits Smudge and Eric.
