🏃‍♂️ 24-HOUR TREADMILL CHALLENGE – I NEED 6 PEOPLE! 🏃‍♀️

As some of you may know, Frankie will be running the London Marathon 2027 to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust. ❤️

To help her raise even more money for this amazing charity, she is organising a 24-hour treadmill relay challenge! 🔥

The idea is simple: keep the treadmill moving for 24 hours continuously, with each person taking turns to run for as long as they wish before swapping to the next person until your turn comes around again.

She is looking for 6 people to join her and take on this challenge! 💪

📍 24 hours
🏃 suggested 1 hour running per person at a time
👥 6 people needed
💷 £100 minimum fundraising target per person
❤️ All fundraising will go towards her London Marathon charity fundraising for Teenage Cancer Trust
🕝10th October 7AM- 11th October 7AM at a local gym

You don’t need to be an elite runner — just bring some determination, energy and a willingness to push yourself for an amazing cause! 🙌

If you’re up for the challenge and want to be part of the team, drop Frankie
a message!

Let’s keep that treadmill moving for a full 24 HOURS and raise as much as possible for Teenage Cancer Trust! 🔥🏃‍♂️❤️

We have been very lucky to have a visit today from George and Ada’s dad with some of his birds of prey. Ada showed us her bird Skye and George showed us his bird Buzz. We saw a hand reared falcon called Nemo and a hawk that was very noisy. We also got to see a bird fly from the garden and come back for his food.
Thank you very much to Ada and Georges dad, Damien, for taking the time to come and talk to the children and let is look at the birds and hear lots of interesting facts.

☀️ Our July Topic – Summer! ☀️

We’ve had so much fun exploring Summer this month! 🌸🌞

The children have enjoyed lots of exciting tuff trays, painting, crafts, messy play and summer-themed activities, exploring new textures, colours and ideas through play. 🎨🫧🌈

We’ve loved seeing their creativity, curiosity and smiles throughout the month! 💛

🍎 Fun Fact Friday at Hunnybears 🍎

Did you know? 🥤

When it comes to drinks for children under 5, water and milk are the healthiest choices.

🍊 Fruit juice and smoothies

* Although they contain vitamin C, they also contain natural sugars.
* Babies under 12 months do not need fruit juice or smoothies.
* If you choose to give fruit juice to children over 12 months, dilute it with 1 part fruit juice to 10 parts water and serve it only at mealtimes to help reduce the risk of tooth decay.
* From 5 years of age, children can have one small (150ml) glass of undiluted fruit juice per day, ideally with a meal.

🥤 What about squash, flavoured milk and fizzy drinks?

* These drinks are not recommended for young children because they often contain sugar, which can increase the risk of tooth decay.
* Even sugar-free or no added sugar drinks are not ideal, as they can encourage a preference for sweet tastes. Many are also acidic, which may contribute to wear of tooth enamel over time.

💧 Top tip: Encourage children to drink water throughout the day and milk at mealtimes to help keep little teeth and bodies healthy! 🦷💙
