This week in nursery we’ve been having festive fun exploring our Reindeer Soup tuff tray! 🦌✨🧊🎄
The children have loved mixing, pouring and scooping as they created their own magical Christmas concoctions using natural materials and lots of imagination.

Last week the children made their reindeer food, sharing lovely ideas about Rudolph and Christmas Eve.
They can’t wait to take it home next week and share the Christmas magic with their families! 🦌✨🎅🏼

🌟 A Big Thank You! 🌟

Thankyou to one of our nursery parents, Bronwyn for coming into nursery last week to show the children her job and to lead a fantastic biscuit-decorating activity! 🧑‍🍳🍪

The children had an amazing time rolling and stamping out fondant shapes, painting them and creating beautifully decorated biscuits. They were so engaged and excited to learn new skills and it was wonderful to see their creativity shine.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share such a lovely, hands-on activity with us. Experiences like this inspire the children and make their learning so memorable.

✨ Please follow and support her business The Willow & Blossom Bakery

Thank you for making the afternoons extra special! 💛✨

This week in Nursery, we have been learning all about fire safety!
The children explored what to do if their clothes were ever to catch fire — a very important life skill.

We practised the three simple steps:

🛑 STOP — Freeze like a statue and don’t run
⬇️ DROP — Carefully drop to the ground
🔁 ROLL — Roll over and over to put the flames out

Have a fun and safe Bonfire Night everyone 🎆✨

🍁🍂Making the most of the autumn sunshine this week ☀️

Our nursery children have been out and about enjoying all the wonders of the season - from spotting cows in the fields and collecting conkers 🐄 to picking apples and meeting and feeding ponies 🍎🐴

There’s nothing like fresh air, curious minds and a bit of sunshine to make learning magical 🌞🍃
