From imaginative storytelling to exciting forest adventures, it's been another wonderful week at The Anchor!

This week, the children explored a variety of storytelling-themed activities, bringing their imaginations to life through play. Using playdough, they created their own imaginative characters before putting on fantastic puppet shows in their very own puppet theatre, entertaining their friends and building confidence through role play.

Our outdoor adventures continued in the forest, where the children enjoyed the swing, exploring the stick house, and making the most of the natural environment around them.

It has been a week full of creativity, imagination, friendship, and learning through play. We can't wait to see what exciting adventures next week will bring! πŸ’š

What an adventure we had in the woods this week! 🌳✨

The children worked together to build their very own den, making all the decisions themselves β€” from choosing the branches to planning the shape. πŸͺ΅πŸ’‘

So much teamwork, creativity and excitement! 🌟

We had a very special visit from the Army’s bomb disposal unit, who brought along their vehicle and equipment for the children to explore. The little ones were captivated as they discovered how everything works and learned about the important role the team
plays.

There were wide eyes, curious questions, and so many excited smiles β€” a truly memorable experience for our little learners.
