Today, the babies enjoyed a fun sensory activity inspired by one of their favourite stories, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

The babies explored scooping, pouring and sensory play, helping to develop their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. They had lots of fun exploring the different textures and using their hands and tools to scoop, pour and investigate.

A lovely hands-on learning experience based around a story they know and love.

It was a fun and memorable day for everyone.

We hope everyone has enjoyed a wonderful summer break.
We are looking forward to welcoming all the children back to St Comans Afterschool and hearing about everything they have been up to over the summer holidays.
A little reminder that we reopen on Thursday 27th August following our summer break.
We can’t wait to see everyone again and get back to all the fun at St Colman's Afterschool.
