🌻 Sunflowers 🌻
Back in February we planted some sunflower seeds. Once the seeds had established, we sent the sunflowers home. We’ve had a couple of updates on our seedlings and look how much they’ve grown!

Today we visited Historic Dockyard Chatham with our friends at Laura's Treasures Childminding. There were VE Day celebrations and the children saw veterans, soldiers, the Mayor and a Town Crier 🔔 not to mention playing in the park, the soft play and looking at the boats ⛵️
The town crier came to see us and showed us his uniform and rang his bell. The children all thought he looked like a pirate.
We’ve been practicing our “hear ye” all the way home! 📣

we couldn’t miss this learning opportunity! Watching the cement lorry for the new house being built.

We spoke about the lorry spinning and mixing, we watched the digger move around with a flashing orange light, we waved to the builders and waved goodbye when the cement lorry left 🚛

📸 Photo Dump 📸
Here’s just a handful of pictures taken over the recent weeks. Trips to the park, walks in the woods, playing with friends, blowing bubbles and more arts and crafts!

🎨 ✂️ Arts and Crafts 🎨✂️
A busy afternoon spent doing arts and craft. Practicing our scissor skills and creating some masterpieces!

👩‍🔬 👨‍🔬 Float or Sink 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬
Today we experimented with things that might float or sink. We collected lots of different bits and we spoke about whether we thought they might float or sink. We then ticked it on the list ✅ The children had mixed guesses but were so pleased when they were right!

🚌📚Our ride on the bus 🚌📚
Earlier this month, along with Laura's Treasures Childminding we took a ride on the bus to the library. The children spoke to the driver and we found our seats. They loved looking out of the window and when the wipers started, they started to sing the Wheels on The Bus!
We had a great time looking at some books, reading together and also on our own. Finishing the morning off feeding the ducks and then taking the bus back home.
