Spring 🌷 ☀️ 🌸

We have started to explore all things spring, following the children’s curiosity about the changing world around them and it’s something we are looking forward to exploring even more.

We’ve begun talking about new life, growing plants, and seasonal changes, supporting understanding of the world,

🍊 Fresh Orange Juice 🍊

The children enjoyed making their own fresh orange juice using a hand squeezer, exploring how we can prepare healthy foods from scratch.

This activity supported physical development as the children used their hand and arm strength to squeeze the oranges, helping to build fine motor skills and coordination. It also encouraged independence and turn-taking, as well as communication and language while we talked about the process and the taste.

☘️ St Patrick’s Day Fun ☘️

We’ve had a fantastic time celebrating St Patrick’s Day with lots of Irish-themed activities!

The children enjoyed learning some Irish dancing, getting active and having lots of giggles along the way. We also made traditional Irish soda bread, exploring new ingredients and developing our independence skills.

Our celebrations continued with creative crafts, helping to support fine motor skills and self-expression. It’s been a fun-filled week of learning, culture, and creativity! 🌈✨

We have been busy exploring paint and a variety of materials, enjoying the freedom to express themselves through colour and creativity.

We’ve been learning about colours, including recognising and creating beautiful rainbows, while developing our fine motor skills through brushing, dabbing, and mixing.

🌸 Mother’s Day 🌸

We’ve been busy preparing for Mother’s Day by creating our own beautiful bouquets, cards, and special gifts.
A lovely opportunity to promote kindness, thoughtfulness, and self-expression, 💖

💖 Valentine’s Learning Fun 💖

❄️ 🦕❄️ Winter, Ice & Dinosaurs 🦖

In January, we followed the children’s interests, exploring winter, ice, and dinosaurs through a range of fun, hands-on activities.

Activities to develop fine motor skills, creativity, and problem-solving, all while following what the children enjoy most. A great start to the year full of exploration and learning through play! ❄️✨
