Wakitu Kids - Wilthorpe Primary School

There’s something special about squishing fingers into clay and turning a lump of nothing into something 🖐️ These will be ready for painting later this week! 🎨

Taking turns, helping each other, and most importantly, having fun!

Colouring isn’t just a fun activity; it supports fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and concentration. It also gives children a creative outlet where there is no right or wrong way to explore. 🎨✨

When children are given the space to try, adapt, and try again, they learn that challenges are part of learning. These moments help build confidence and coping skills they carry into everyday life. 💪🌱

Fine and gross motor skills benefit greatly from free play. From building and running to climbing and role-playing, these activities help children to strengthen their bodies, coordination, and confidence.

🎶✨ Dance party alert! ✨🎶
These tunes are enough to get anyone tapping their toes. We can’t think of a better way to stay warm, burn off energy, and have a whole lot of fun after school!

Puzzles today. Problem-solvers tomorrow. 🧩 Building focus, patience, and curious minds through play.

Happy Friday! Don't forget that free play is VERY beneficial for children - try to encourage your child to have time for free play this weekend 😌

Unstructured play helps children regulate emotions, unwind, and feel safe expressing themselves. 😌

We're so impressed with the incredible paper crafts Amos, Hedley, and Kinan created! ✂️✨

Wakitu exists to change the childcare story for families like yours. We know how tough it can be — childcare in the UK is one of the most expensive in the world, which makes parents feel stressed or stretched. Changing this narrative is exactly why Wakitu was created. ✨
