🍂 Harvest Week at Nursery!🍂 We’ve had a wonderful week celebrating Harvest at nursery! 🌾🎃 The children have been busy exploring all things autumn through lots of fun, hands-on activities, including playing with autumn leaves and conkers, creating harvest-themed artwork and exploring our very own farm and vegetable patch! 🚜🥕🍂 We were also very lucky to have a special visit from the Reverend, who came to talk to the children about Harvest and why it is a time for giving and sharing with others. A huge thank you to all our families who kindly donated tins, jars and other food items for the children to give to Reverend as part of our Harvest collection. 🥫💛 And a big thank you the Reverend for taking the time to come and visit us — what a lovely way to finish our Harvest celebrations! 🌻🍁

♻️🌍 Recycling Week at Nursery! 🌱💚 We’ve had lots of fun learning all about recycling and how we can help look after our wonderful planet! The children have been busy exploring recycling through sensory and messy play, practising picking up and sorting rubbish, getting creative with recycling-themed painting activities as well as learning about reduce, reuse and recycle. We even took a trip to the recycling bins so the children could put what they had learned into practice! It’s been lovely to see everyone getting involved, working together and beginning to understand how even little hands can make a big difference. 🌎♻️

We have had lots of Summer Fun over the past couple of weeks, exploring and learning together! ☀️ We enjoyed visiting the boat at the harbour 🚢, making cakes 🧁, going for walks, spending time in the garden 🌿, getting creative with Play-Doh, and exploring all the different play areas. It has been wonderful to see the children growing in confidence, using their imaginations, and learning through play. We can't wait for even more Summer Fun over the coming weeks, with lots more exciting adventures still to come! ☀️🌈

🖐️ Building Little Hands, Big Skills! ✂️🎨🔤 Last week our preschool were busy strengthening their fine motor skills through a variety of fun, hands-on activities! From threading pipe cleaners into playdough, practising cutting skills, exploring letters, drawing patterns in sand, and investigating shapes through sensory play, every activity helps develop the small muscles needed for writing, self-care, and everyday independence. It's wonderful to see the children learning through play, showing creativity, concentration, and growing confidence with each new challenge. 💛
