Sensory play. The Explorers engaged with a variety of different equipment to investigate and create various marks during their sensory play. They also showed great skill in sharing the resources while they mixed, scooped, emptied, and filled as they explored. 😊

🌈 Exploring Primary Colours 🎨
The Adventurers room, had lots of fun exploring colours by mixing, spooning and squeezing! 🔴
The children loved using the pipettes to mix the paint, often getting excited and pointing at what colours they had made. Everyone was also great at sharing, working together and using lots of lovely language such as “mixed” and “Rainbow”. 🔵

Laser Tag
The Adventurers enjoyed an exciting game of laser tag, with various spots around the garden to duck and hide, utilising our prepositions to navigate and hid from the colourful water. They manoeuvred around using tyres and pallets, trying to sq**rt water from their coloured teams at friends on the opposing team.
What began as a calm game focused on shooting and aiming at targets, relying on great hand-eye coordination, quickly turned into a messy adventure. They sq**rted water at their peers, testing how far it could reach, demonstrating impressive motor skills and accurate aim. 😀

Embracing Creativity 🎨🫟🖌️

Our Inventors and Adventurers dived into various avenues of creativity.

The Inventors engaged their bodies, using their feet and hands to craft unique pieces of art. They experimented with an array of materials such as spray bottles, rollers, cotton balls, paintbrushes, and balls, thoroughly enjoying each method they explored.

Meanwhile, the Adventurers tapped into their imagination by using their fingers and cotton buds, as well as paintbrushes, to create vibrant designs on cling film. They even discovered an exciting technique by drawing underneath the table instead of on top, which they found such fun. What a wonderful way to explore different ways to be creative. 😀

The Retreat and Explorer children engaged in a range of ball activities, pushing, throwing and kicking while facing some obstacles.

What are the benefits of ball games?
Playing with balls is a fantastic foundational activity for babies. It develops hand-eye coordination, gross and fine motor skills, and visual tracking. Rolling and passing balls also build spatial awareness, teach cause and effect, and encourage early social and communication skills through interactive, back-and-forth play. 😀

The Adventurers save the day!

The children discovered how to keep our oceans clean and why it’s important for the safety of sea creatures. They enjoyed reading stories about this topic and then took part in an exciting tuff tray activity, where they rescued their own toy animals from rubbish and cleaned up the mess. 😊

Discovery Graduation 2026

This was our largest graduation to date, with nearly every child beginning their journey in our Retreat room and continuing all the way to the Inventors. It has been wonderful to witness their growth and development over the past four years. We wish you all the best as you embark on your new school adventures. 😀

That’s not my…….

Our little explorers thoroughly enjoy the “That’s Not My” books. During their activities, they not only engaged with the stories and props but also discovered a variety of textures. They painted with different materials and explored an array of textiles. There was a wealth of vocabulary being used to describe these textures, such as smooth, rough, spiky, shiny, bumpy, and many others. 🐻🐰🐝🐲
