🥕🥦 National Eat Your Vegetables Day! 🥔🌽

Today, our preschool children celebrated National Eat Your Vegetables Day by making their very own delicious vegetable soup! 🍲

The children enjoyed exploring a variety of fresh vegetables, learning about healthy eating, and helping to prepare the ingredients. They practised their chopping, mixing, and teamwork skills while discovering where different vegetables come from 😊

Well done to all our little chefs for their fantastic efforts today! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

Day Nursery

What a lovely morning our preschoolers had today! 🌍🥁

Over the past few weeks, we have been working with UpBeat Music, exploring African drumming and a variety of exciting musical activities. Today, we were delighted to invite our parents and carers in to share in the experience and take part in the fun.

The children were so proud to showcase what they have been learning, and it was wonderful to see everyone enjoying the music together. The smiles, enthusiasm, and confidence on display were fantastic to see!

A big thank you to UpBeat Music for helping to create such an engaging and memorable experience, and to all the parents and carers who joined us this morning and made it so special. ❤️

Day Nursery

📚✨ At Meadowbank Day Nursery, we believe books are a powerful way to inspire curiosity, learning, and a lifelong love of reading.

Our book displays include a wide range of fiction and non-fiction texts, helping children explore the world around them, discover new interests, and develop their knowledge and understanding. We carefully select books that celebrate diversity, promote inclusion, and reflect the experiences of all children and families.

We are also proud to promote Welsh language and culture through our book collections, helping children develop an appreciation of Wales, its traditions, and the Welsh language from an early age.

By making books accessible, engaging, and meaningful, we encourage children to become confident readers, thinkers, and learners.

📖❤️ Every book opens a new adventure!

Pawb Arts fun today ❤️

🌿 Encourage bilingualism through natural, everyday interactions

🌿 Promote hands-on, holistic development by linking language with physical and sensory experiences

🌿 Help children explore and connect with their cultural identity in meaningful ways

🌿 Create an inclusive environment where all languages and backgrounds are valued

Da iawn, A! Your passion, commitment, and innovative approach will continue to inspire both children and colleagues alike. We look forward to seeing all that you achieve in the future. 💚

A big thank you to Eva’s mum for bringing in the baby chicks and sharing them with our preschool children. The children were so excited to see them up close, and it was a wonderful introduction to learning about life cycles and how living things grow. 🐥💛

On Wednesday afternoon, we took our preschool children to the Borough Theatre in Abergavenny to watch the puppet show 'Hickory Dickory Dock'. The children thoroughly enjoyed the performance and were captivated from start to finish. It was a wonderful experience for everyone involved

🍪 National Biscuit Day 🍪

We celebrated National Biscuit Day by making our very own delicious biscuits! The children loved measuring, mixing, decorating, and of course tasting their yummy creations. 😋

Baking activities are a fantastic way to encourage creativity, teamwork, and early maths skills while having lots of fun!
