We had lots of fun in our Sports 4 Tots - Cornwall session this week as we enjoyed playing cricket!

The children took turns being batters, using the bats to hit the balls off the cones, while our fielders ran to collect the balls and put them back on the cones.

We had a fantastic time practising our batting, running, coordination and teamwork!

What a fantastic time we had on our trip to Trevaskis Farm! The children were all absolutely brilliant and had so much fun exploring the farm, seeing all the animals, pumpkins and discovering the spooky Halloween decorations! 🎃🕷️

A huge thank you to all the parents who joined us for the trip and got involved in all the fun. We really appreciate your support and loved sharing such a lovely experience with you all! 🍂

The children have enjoyed dressing up as doctors and nurses this week in our baby clinic role play, looking after their little patients!

During Sports 4 Tots - Cornwall, the children enjoyed playing hockey! They practised using their hand-eye coordination to control the ball with their hockey sticks.

The children have all come home with their very own bookbags this week! We hope you enjoy sharing special story times together at home.
Once you have finished your book, you can return the bookbag to nursery and help your child choose a new story to bring home.

We look forward to seeing everyone for our nursery trip to Trevaskis farm on Monday (weather permitting).

This week at Sandcastles, the children have been building on thier friendships and spending lots of time together exploring different activities.
We enjoyed making apple crumbles to take home, developing different skills through mixing, pouring and working together.
We have also taken part in Sports 4 Tots - Cornwall matching colours and working together in groups. It has been lovely to see the children developing their teamwork, communication and friendships while having lots of fun!

This week, we continued our farm shop role play and used vegetables to make colourful prints with paint. The children have been developing their fine motor skills through a range of activities and especially enjoyed exploring our mud kitchen with the new seasoning shakers.

During Sports 4 Tots - Cornwall, we used footballs to practise colour matching, balancing and coordination. The children had lots of fun while developing these skills!

What a lovely week at Sandcastles full of fun, playing and exploring!
Our roleplay farm shop has been a big hit! The children have enjoyed exploring different fruits and vegetables while learning about healthy foods and making their own choices during play.
We’ve also started creating our display for our new topic, Elmer’s Friends.
During Sports 4 Tots - Cornwall, we focused on listening carefully to instructions and matching colours, helping us develop our listening, concentration and teamwork skills.

First of all, we would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who helped make our stall at the school fete such a success! We had a fantastic time and are delighted to share that we raised £166. Thank you to everyone who donated and came along to support us – we couldn't have done it without you! 💛

We've had another fantastic week at Sandcastles! With the sunshine continuing, we've been making the most of our outdoor spaces, exploring the gardens and keeping cool with plenty of shade and water play. ☀️💦

We would also like to thank Trimar for donating us a glass aquarium for our baby frogs to grow, while we eagerly await the building of our new pond. We can't wait to watch them continue their journey! 🐸

During Sports 4 Tots - Cornwall , the children developed their hand-eye coordination by catching balls with both their hands and nets. They also worked brilliantly as a team, passing the balls to one another using their nets, showing fantastic teamwork and communication skills. ⚽🎾

We hope you all have a lovely weekend. Remember to stay safe in the sunshine, keep hydrated, and don't forget your sun cream! 😎☀️

We can't wait to see you all on Monday for our final fun-filled week of the school year! 🌈

☀️ Wow, what a fantastic week of sunshine we've had! We've made the most of the beautiful weather by spending lots of time outdoors, enjoying the fresh air and making wonderful summer memories together. 🌞

The children have loved creating dens under the tarpaulin to make some shady spaces to play out of the sun. As well as playing in our swimming pool! There were lots of smiles, laughter, splashing, and water games as everyone enjoyed cooling off in the warm weather.

We finished our sunny week with an exciting water fight, which was a huge hit with both the children and the adults! 💦 Everyone had the best time laughing, running, and squirting each other with their water guns.

During Sports 4 Tots - Cornwall, we used tennis rackets to develop our balancing skills while also practising colour matching. The children worked brilliantly together, passing bean bags to their friends, encouraging one another, and showing fantastic teamwork. 🎾
