💛 **A Big Thank You to Our Families!** 💛

We are so grateful to the families who have donated pre-loved books and puzzles for our reading and play corner. These contributions make our space richer, more inviting, and meaningful for the children.

Not only do the donations support **sustainability** ♻️, but they also help children feel a stronger **sense of belonging** as their home experiences are reflected in our learning environment. This is a wonderful example of how partnerships with families build community and support every child’s learning journey. 🌱📚🧩

📚✨ Have you seen our cosy reading and play corner? It’s quickly becoming a favourite spot for the children!

Here, they can:
💛 Curl up with a story (or listen to one with friends)
🧩 Tackle puzzles that get their brains ticking
🥁 Make music and explore sounds with instruments
👀 Discover books filled with rhymes, numbers, textures and more

What looks like simple fun is actually helping your child:

Build confidence and independence

Learn to share, listen and work with others

Strengthen their problem-solving and creativity

Develop early literacy and communication skills

So when you see your little one happily lost in a book, or banging out a tune on a drum – know that they’re learning, growing, and developing important life skills too. 🌟

Look who we found in the sand pit. And he had a friend with him this time.
Frogs are sensitive and breath through their skin. Avoid touching them with your hands unless you have washed and dried them or use moist, powderless gloves and only for a short time.
We scooped the sand and let them sit on that for the kids to have a quick, close up encounter.
