Stepping Stones Pre-school

Stepping Stones Pre-school We are a small and friendly pre-school offering inspiring and nurturing early years education and care for 2 to 5 year olds in a beautiful rural location.

Facebook is a brilliant way of communicating with all our families but we need to be mindful of our responsibility to keep the children in our care safe. Unless we have express consent we do not post identifiable images of the children and we never identify them by full name. We would also ask all visitors to our page to do the same.

In celebration of world book day this week, the children have been exploring their favourite stories. At carpet time today, each child picked their favourite stepping stones story. We then set ourselves the challenge of reading all of them throughout the day. The child partook in conversation of why they picked the book as their favourite. Then,after reading the whole group discussed their favourite part of the book.

This also led to lots of book based activities and child led play, such as recreating goldilocks and the three bears with real oats, and creating our own paper dolls.

What a fun, story filled day and yes we did manage to read each child’s favourite book!!!

Recently the children at Stepping Stones have been really enjoying mark making in different ways.
As the children love story books, we decided to make our own. Providing an empty book and letting the children’s imaginations run wild, we had books about parties, dinosaurs and princesses. The children practiced their marking making and drawing skills by creating all the pictures before telling their story page by page to the adult who then scribed their story.
