🚂 All Aboard for Train Track Fun! 🚂

Our Little Leapers had a wonderful time building and exploring with the train tracks today! 🛤️🚆 From connecting the pieces and designing different routes to pushing the trains along their creations, there was lots of busy thinking and imaginative play.

This activity supported problem-solving, fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness and creativity, while also encouraging children to share, take turns and work together. 🌟

Learning through play is always an adventure! 💛

A keep sake bag with The Gruffalo story tomorrow. Our older group of children enjoy creating things they can take home and share with their families. So this is perfect. They can design their own bags and complete the activities inside. All planned using the amazing .eyfs

We are a faceless childcare setting!! You may have seen some very disturbing social media posts on TikTok and other platforms relating to photos from schools and education provisions being manipulated using AI. This is why we remain faceless when we post our content. This not only protects the identity of our children and families, but it stops our content from potentially being misused! We will continue to post and will not include any child’s face or anything that would clearly identify them. Safeguarding children and families and one of strongest priorities. Please consider this when you also post in your own social media platforms. Nothing is safe in the wrong hands. Please be mindful!

Our Baby Room at Basildon has been exploring B for Bear. Becky created a glue and sticking activity for the children to explore their pincer grip movements to stick the paper to the glued area of their bear. Lots of sensory exploring and using key words and sounds for the letter B.

Our Basildon Little Leapers have been extremely eager to explore crafts this week. So we continued with our colour of the week and explored the letter B. B for blue, so used some pieces of tissue paper to colour the letter. Key focus words were blue, sticky and B.
