๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿป๐Ÿ“š February fun in our Toddler room ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’•
Our toddlers have had the loveliest time throughout February and weโ€™d love to share a little snapshot of what weโ€™ve been up to together.
This month has been all about love, sharing, friendships and feelings ๐Ÿ’›
We had so much fun exploring our emotions using The Colour Monster. The children searched for the Colour Monsters hiding underneath the silver glitter, carefully brushing it away with paintbrushes to reveal the different monsters and hearts in our tuff tray โœจ
We also shared a story all about feelings and, when we asked the children how they were feeling afterwards, they all proudly shoutedโ€ฆ โ€œHAPPY!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜Š
Another activity we really enjoyed was Old MacDonald Had a Farm.
We talked about which animals live on a farm, practised making all of the animal sounds and shared lots of giggles along the way ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ”
The children then used their fine motor skills to follow a trail using their fingers and paint sticks, completing a puzzle that led them all the way to the barn.
We also made our own animal stick puppets and created our very own farm stories together, finishing the day with a lovely sing-along ๐ŸŽถ
We explored The Very Hungry Caterpillar through lots of creative and hands-on play ๐Ÿ›
Each child painted a plate for the caterpillarโ€™s body, mixing colours to create their own designs. We played with wooden fruit, pretending to cut it in half, and used string to thread colourful beads to represent the caterpillar eating its way through the food, linking beautifully to the story we shared ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ“
For Book Week, we began with We're Going on a Bear Hunt ๐Ÿป
The children loved role-playing the story and exploring our sensory tray, using their feet to step into different textures. They described what they could feel using words such as โ€œCRUNCHโ€, โ€œsmoooooothโ€ and โ€œcoldโ€ โ€“ such fantastic language and confidence from our toddlers ๐Ÿ‘ฃโœจ
A month full of stories, friendships and happy little moments ๐Ÿ’•

This month in Preschool, weโ€™ve been focusing lots on developing our fine motor skills โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿ–๏ธ

The children carefully used scissors to cut around dinosaur shapes and then became little explorers in our archaeological dig, using paintbrushes to uncover dinosaur bones ๐Ÿฆ•๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ

Weโ€™ve also enjoyed practising our letter formation and building confidence with our early writing skills โœ๏ธ

As always, baking has been a big favourite. We made chocolate nests to link with the Big Bird Watch, where we talked about measuring our ingredients and went on to discuss the different birds we might spot in our gardens ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿซ

Preschool hasnโ€™t shied away from the rainy weather either! ๐ŸŒง๏ธ We loved making mud pies, splashing in puddles and spending time at Forest School ๐Ÿƒ We even had a go at making our very own fresh orange juice! ๐ŸŠ

Weโ€™ve also had lots of fun using our imaginations and dressing upโ€ฆ and even the staff joined in! ๐Ÿ‘—๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Half of children catch chickenpox by age four.
When they do, they're often off nursery or school for a week, meaning missed learning and missed work for parents.
We're rolling out a free NHS chickenpox vaccine as part of the routine childhood immunisation programme.

๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป Spooktacular Fun at FWP! ๐Ÿ‘ป๐ŸŽƒ
Weโ€™ve had such a fang-tastic time celebrating Halloween! ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธโœจ
Our little ones explored lots of Halloween-themed messy and sensory trays โ€” including a pumpkin, bat and rice tray! These activities are brilliant for developing fine motor skills through all the tipping, pouring and scooping fun ๐Ÿงก
We also had a frightfully fun Friday Halloween party, wearing our spookiest costumes! Throughout the day we baked Halloween cakes, played games, did lots of dancingโ€ฆ and even turned our teachers into mummies! ๐Ÿงป๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ
The children mixed up their own Magical Potions โ€” casting spells, creating slimy surprises and exploring textures using all their senses ๐Ÿงชโœจ
To finish our busy day, we enjoyed a special Halloween picnic for tea (and of course tucked into the cakes weโ€™d made earlier โ€“ delicious! ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿง)
What a wonderful way to celebrate together! ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’œ

๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿงช Spooky Toddler Fun! ๐Ÿงช๐ŸŽƒ

As we get closer to Halloween, our Toddlers have been enjoying lots of spooky-themed activities! ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ

๐Ÿง™โ€โ™€๏ธ Witchesโ€™ Potions
The children had lots of fun experimenting with different coloured liquids to create their very own witchesโ€™ potions! They explored colour mixing and watched how new colours appeared as they stirred and poured. Using pipettes and tweezers helped strengthen their fine motor skills and coordination too! ๐Ÿงชโœจ

๐Ÿ‘พ Feeding the Monsters
The monsters in our Toddler Room were feeling very hungry! The children used spoons to scoop up the food and feed the greedy monsters โ€” but had to be careful they didnโ€™t get their fingers nibbled! ๐Ÿ˜„ This activity encouraged handโ€“eye coordination, problem solving, and imaginative play.

Weโ€™ve had so much spooky fun getting ready for Halloween โ€” Happy Halloween from all of us! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ–ค
