The fizzy bottle effect is a term meaning someone is hiding the extent of how they are feeling ie holding things together. It can happen at school, social events, on holiday, at their friend's house. Due to a person holding this in, eventually it will result in all pent up emotions usually when back at home, being released.

A child can seem to have a really 'good day' but then has a 'meltdown' or even struggles to regulate themselves. It can come out of the blue following a period of your child being calm and regulated.

Thank you Gillian@musicbugs for such a fun music, singing and dancing session this morning. The children had great fun singing some new songs as well as favourite songs. Look forward to seeing you again soon.

This morning the children had a go at making Food Towers !

They made their towers using “crunchy, flaky “ crackers, “soft” bread, “creamy cheese” “crunchy, green” cucumber and “sweet” jam.

They used their knifes for spreading the soft cheese and jam and their folk for picking the crunchy cucumber. Every tower looked different. Some towers had flavours that were combined and some were made all of bread.

The golden rule is you don’t have to try it and you don’t have to like it! But we saw everyone having a munch 😋

It was a lovely autumn morning today perfect for going on a treasure hunt around our beautiful gardens.

We collected all the things that interested us. Along the way we spent time looking at the bugs we found and picked apples in the orchard and made music with the twigs we found.

When we came back inside we displayed our finds and had a closer look at treasures with the magnifying boxes.

The children wanted to touch and smell and cut up the treasures they found.

We chopped the apples up and shared them, some liked the sour taste, the green ones were sweet, but they all got eaten because they were “delicious”!

We shall leave our treasure out for the week and see how the children use it in their play and art work ??……
