Our New Mud Kitchen has been a big hit outdoors.

The mud kitchen provides children with opportunities to explore, imagine and recreate familiar experiences from home.

Using real-life pots, pans, utensils and kitchen equipment encourages children to become curious, independent learners. 🍳☕️🥣

Children can cook, mix, pour, serve and create together using early maths concepts and natural material whilst enjoying the freedom of outdoor play. 🌲🌳

It promotes talking, listening, sharing and taking turns. Whilst encouraging imaginative play and use of their physical skills 💪🏻💪🏻

A simple outdoor space where children can create big ideas through play. 🧒🏻👧🏻

🐞 Our Bug Hotel 🐛

Our bug hotel provides a wonderful opportunity for children to explore, investigate and connect with the natural world.

Using natural materials such as logs, sticks, leaves and stones, we have created a welcoming habitat where children can search for and observe a variety of minibeasts.

It encourages curiosity, investigation and hands-on learning, helping children understand that even the smallest creatures have an important place in our world. 🐞🐛🦟🪲🪳🕷️

This week has seen us going out in to the local community and walking down to the Snap Dragon Children and Families Festival 🐉🐉🐉

We had fun exploring the park and seeing ducks at the pond 🦆🦆🦆

We found a bubble station where we could make lots and lots of bubbles, amongst various sensory toys 🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧

Snappy was walking around 🐉🐉and there was lots of music too 🎵🎶

The children have enjoyed exploring our new water wall. They poured water into the different coloured funnels and watched as it travelled through the tubes and into the trays below. They tried different funnels to see where the water would come out.

They used good hand control when pouring and moving the containers and began using words such as full, empty, more and gone. They showed an understanding of cause and effect by noticing that the water kept changing direction.

We think our water wall is great 🟢🟠🟣🔴🔵🟡

As the year is coming to end for some of our school leavers, we get lovely feedback from our parents.

Thank you for your support and trusting us to provide care for your child 💜
