Our Learning Activities:
Here at Threemilestone Preschool, we firmly believe in the positive impact that books can have on teaching children and the enjoyment of sharing these stories with their families. We focus on a particular story over a 2 week period as we have noticed in the past through evaluating our planning that this allows the children to really consolidate their learning and extend their listening and attention skills. By implementing a 2 weekly planning schedule, this allows us to expose the children to a variety of stimulating activities to develop and inspire the children, it also enables us to extend and challenge the children’s learning and development. During this time, we teach the children new words and vocabulary to deepen their understanding in a variety of scenarios.
As Staff we thoroughly enjoy this approach to learning as the children mirror our excitement, which is not only rewarding but also inspiring….we hope you feel this way too!

1,2,3, Do The Dinosaur - Week 1
The children showed great excitement as they became palaeontologists, discovering dinosaur bones in the sand trays and creating prehistoric footprints using toy dinosaurs and paint! We have even learnt how to dance like the dinosaurs by following the moves of an explorer called Danny.
Here Tanaya was excited to have dug up a skeleton of a Dinosaur burried in our sandpit!.
The children also loved using the Dinosaurs to make footprints in playdough, Ollie chose a T-Rex because "They're more scary!"
