What an exciting week we have had making the most of the glorious sunshine āļø weāve spent lots of time in the garden and have planted some fruit and vegetables in our new planter (with thanks to my amazing Dad ā¤ļø). We talked about what is needed to help things grow and we have continued to water our fruits and vegetables throughout the week, we canāt wait to enjoy them at snack time when they are ready!
We visited Cotebrook Shire Horse Farm where we got to groom a pony, feed the chickens and ducks, get up close with a Shore horse and see the foals š„°š“ we also embarked on a nature walk where we saw some exciting animals being fed by their keepers, this included otters, ferrets, foxes, Scottish wild cats and even a barn owl š¦
We had our toddler group on Wednesday where we focused on physical development, we particularly enjoyed crawling through tunnels and into tents as well as making lots of food in the kitchen area.
On Thursday we had a music class where we sang songs, copied actions and tried to follow a beat with instruments. We then enjoyed water play outside which was lots of fun, we practiced tipping and pouring and it helped us to cool down in the heat.
We finished the week off with a visit to Chester Zoo where we saw lots of different animals and even arrived at the lemur enclosure in time to see them follow the keeper in a line to where they were going to be fed š
