Orchard Lea Nursery & Preschool Keynsham

~ Playdough Tools ~ Our physical skills are developing every day at this age. And using tools is new to us.

Using them in our play is a great way to strengthen the muscles we need and get all the fun practice in.

~ New Skills ~ Trying things out in a fun way makes learning new skills a doddle!

~ independent play ~ solitary play is valuable to a child's development, it teaches self regulation, concentration, independence and creativity.

~ School ~ The children are getting excited about their next big adventure, starting school!

They love to look at the board and talk with their friends about who is going where 😍

~ Together ~ Never far from enjoying a book together! 😍🤗👫👬👭

~ Garden sing song ~ We love a sing song wherever we are, the garden included!

~ Animal Food ~ There were so many ways this tuff tray of cereal and animals were played with!

Some children fed the animals, others used the animals to stomp and crush the cereal (such a great sound/noise 😂) and others made it into rain "it's raining it's pouring!"

And of course there was a bit of tasting 😂

~ Babies and Books ~ Reading a picture book together is a great way to bond with your baby.

Point out the pictures and talk about the story. Babies LOVE books!

~ Down Under ~ Just us hanging out under the bench! 😂

~ New Season ~ Spring/Summer has arrived and we're looking forward to everything it brings!
