At our Thicket Avenue Nursery in Fishponds our Bouncies have been looking at a theme of 'I wonder who came before us'.

We have been learning about Ancient Egypt and mummies, how they wrap them and how they built the pyramids.
They enjoyed learning about what else has been found inside the Pyramids such as different jewels and treasures. In preparation for our trip to the museum at the end of the month the Bouncies have showed a real fascination with Ancient Egypt and loved turning Ana into a mummy.
They even experimented with turning themselves into a mummy tooโ€ฆ the Bouncies are all very excited to see a real mummy in the museum.
I wonder who else came before us?

A huge thank you to all the families at our Thicket Avenue Nursery in Fishponds who joined us for our very special Preschool graduation celebration.
It was wonderful to see so many of you there to celebrate this amazing milestone with the children.
We are incredibly proud of each and every one of our Preschoolers and the learning, friendships, confidence and memories they have built during their time with us. Watching them grow and get ready for their next big adventure has been such a privilege.

Thank you for your continued support and for allowing us to be part of your childโ€™s early years journey. We wish our graduates the very best as they take their next steps to school.

At our Thicket Avenue Nursery in Fishponds the Preschool practitioners have been working hard to redevelop the room into a more natural, calming and inviting environment that better supports childrenโ€™s learning, development and wellbeing.

The area has been carefully designed to provide areas for exploration, imagination, creativity, communication and problem solving.

The children particularly enjoyed the new sand area where lots of construction has been taking place!

At our our Thicket Avenue Nursery in Fishponds we recently turned a rainy day into relaxing Spa Day.

We mixed together oats, bananas and a tiny bit of honey to make face masks.
We mashed the bananas using Mandy's utensils, scooped and mixed the oats in and Jazz added some honey for us.

We got comfy in our cosy area and all laid down on our yoga mats.
Jazz put on a diffuser and some calming lights and we all had our face masks and cucumber put on our eyes. It was so relaxing listening to the rain trickling down the windows. What a lovely morning!

We didn't think Jazz had enough on her face so we worked together to make sure her face was covered and put lots of cucumber on her eyes... Just to make sure she was extra relaxed!

At our Thicket Avenue Nursery in Fishponds we had a visitor!
A little friend flew through the office window to spend some time with us. He was only with us a short time as Mandy our cook whistled to him and he flew out.
Mandy's new specialism apart from being a wonderful cook is bird whisperer! ๐Ÿฆ
