The dirtier the feet, the happier the heart 🦶🏼

Going barefoot is the most basic sensory experience of them all – the feeling of dirt, rocks, leaves and twigs beneath their feet. Our feet are hard-wired with multiple pressure points and nerve endings to convey messages to other parts of our body. Going barefoot stimulates them and, in turn, our entire nervous system. It also helps children orient their bodies in space, and develop skills like balance and coordination.

What a perfect way to connect with the earth by putting our feet on the ground ❤️

Filming Reminder! Hello all. As many are aware there has been a movie that is being filmed in and around Gravesend. We at the Hive are lucky enough to have filming going on outside the setting on the Hive where you will see many props such as tents, skate board ramp graffiti. Shutters have been painted on with wordings and many more props are out to create the aesthetic for the movie 🎥. We have been speaking with the children and creating our own shows such as today we are having our own Xfactor style activity within the session.

Today we are exploring Literacy while using our senses. The children hear the story ‘Three Little Pigs and the wolf’. They are provided different resources to tell the story in real time while exploring maths, Expressive art and Design Literacy and knowledge and understanding of the world to name a few. The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring this activity and added their own ideas and created new experiences. .....

Our little explorers enjoyed a spot of gardening in the great outdoors today! They used their curiosity to explore the different ways of transferring dirt and soil to pots to plant some seeds. Encouraging the development of their fine motor skills they used gardening tools and worked together. We talked about what helps our seeds to grow, what bugs live in these habitats and how we can look after them.

This morning our Little Explorers used their imagination and resources that they could find to create a camp fire. Children manoeuvred the logs and tree trunks in the garden to create their own seating area. The children then tested their theories and showed initiative as they became active learners using wood and string to build the fire stabilising the kindling sticks and developing their fine motor skills as they thread and knot string. They then used their imagination to make a ‘fire’ using material. We then spoke about boundaries and being safe all the while extending children’s vocabulary also their knowledge and understanding of the world.

Yesterday Little Explorers celebrated Eid and explored children’s curiosity to learning by offering sensory activities that provoke children’s communication and opportunity to ask questions as they discover new qualities such as different cultures and knowledge and understanding of the world.

We explored our senses this morning using sphere shaped ice with flowers picked while on a walk to the secret garden. The explored shape space and measure while conversing about the world around us. Touching and feeling the ice and water testing theories . We added lavender oil to create a calming feel and smell.

We took our Little Explorers our on a local walk around the community where they enjoyed scavenging for natural loose parts. We used the pine cones they retrieved to look at sizes and shapes we then used our fine motor skills and creativeness to make bees to live in our tree at The Hive 🌿 🐝

Hi All 😊

We are so delighted to be able to share with you all that on our recent Ofsted inspection on 18th May 2023
Ofsted graded us OUTSTANDING in all areas

The Ofsted inspector said that we are just the second provision she has judged as Outstanding out of 160 inspections within the year.

Many provisions have not managed to maintain their Outstanding as the requirement have become harder

However, we have continued to meet all the requirements and improve the delivery of our service
