💚Happy New Term 💚

We are looking forward to welcoming the children back this week.

September has so many feelings for Early Years Settings, children and families, as we welcome new families to our community we also think about our pre-school leavers who are starting school.

We always take time for a staff inset day to prepare for the new term ahead and re-set the setting.

To start our inset day we reminded ourselves of our core values at Rock Solid;
Child Centred, Community Focused,Play Based.

We took time to plan ahead for the new term and re-set the play spaces.

Following the children’s interest in climbing last term we’ve added some stepping stones.
As well as a play sofa to enhance our calming area.

We look forward to the Autumn Term ahead and all of the child led learning that will take place.

Parents & Carers don’t forget to choose yourself a treat from the box at drop off this week! 🥰

Part of the vision when setting up Rock Solid was to become completely organic, we feel it’s important children have the opportunity to learn where the food on their plate comes from.

Over the last few years we’ve worked with our gardener to plant fruit & vegetables in the garden, the children have been able to help look after them and eventually harvest them for meals.

Each year we’ve had a go at growing more..
This year has been the best year yet!
We are so pleased the children can pick their own salad from the garden, wash it, prepare it and enjoy it for lunch!

Today the children’s side salad was all picked fresh from our garden - what a great achievement!

We’ve done our best at keeping cool this week!

We are so grateful to have air conditioned learning environments and passionate staff who’ve set up some great calming activities for the children this week.

The younger children have had lots of sensory stations set up to explore including coloured ice, shaving foam, play dough, mark making and water with citrus fruits. Alongside these activities we’ve played music with our sensory lights encouraging the children to stay chilled.

The pre-schoolers have enjoyed activities in the shade as well as collecting herbs and flowers from our sensory patch to make their very own flower crowns! They’ve enjoyed lots of books, creativity & water play too!

We’ve adapted our lunch menu serving a cold but substantial lunch, the children have really enjoyed the picnic style lunches this week.

Today we also enjoyed a visit from the Ice Cream Van (don’t worry if you missed it this time we’ve got a few more dates planned for the summer).

A BIG Thank you to our passionate staff team for providing some great activities to help keep the children cool & chilled this week!

🌈Child Led Rainbow Play Dough 🌈

We include the children when we make play dough asking them to choose the colour dough.

This morning the decision was set on
Rainbow colours…

The children and the practitioner got to work and before 9am we had some amazing rainbow dough!

Ingredients in today’s dough -

Flour
Water
Food colouring / paint
Hand Cream
(holds it all together & provides a nice scent)

Mix it all together, adding more flour when needed until you have a dough.

It’s always very messy but great fun!

📚Book Day 2026 📚

Every day we engage in a variety of books together in setting, it’s always great to observe the children’s genuine love for books!

This week we’ve joined in with World Book Day (UK & Ireland) with various activities based on some of our favourite books.

🐯We’ve made tea, sandwiches for our lunch & fruit milkshakes, linking to The Tiger Who Came To Tea.

🪱We’ve searched for insects in soil, and created our own insects using cinnamon play dough linking with Super Worm.

🌈We’ve enjoyed The Rainbow Fish Story thinking about kindness, sharing and friendship. We then created our very own Rainbow Fish collages with various materials.

🐛The Younger children have engaged with a variety of sensory stories, as well as creating butterfly & caterpillar prints based on The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

💿We’ve purchased and enjoyed some new books together including some Barefoot Books to go alongside our CDs.

📚The children have also been able to choose a book to take home and enjoy with their families.

💫Thank you to our staff who’ve set up these amazing activities for the children this week 💫
