🌼 This week, our little learners will be exploring, creating and growing through a range of exciting activities! 🌼

The children will have the opportunity to create beautiful daffodils using recycled materials, developing their creativity, fine motor skills and understanding of the changing seasons. 🎨🌱

They will also be practising their number recognition and hand-eye coordination through fun lacing number activities, helping to build the foundations for early maths and writing skills. 🔢🧵
As part of our focus on emotional wellbeing, we will be sharing stories and encouraging conversations about feelings, kindness, confidence, resilience and finding calm. Through these discussions, children will be supported in recognising and expressing their emotions in a safe and nurturing environment. 💛📚

We are looking forward to a week full of learning, discovery and opportunities for every child to develop new skills through play and exploration.

Tiny hands. Big imaginations. 🌿🪵🐞

Today the children will be invited to explore, create, investigate and discover through a range of open-ended play experiences. From bug-filled sensory trays and loose parts play to colourful construction and creative mark making, each activity will become its own little world once the children begin to engage with it. ✨

One child may create a jungle for insects. Another may build a castle. Someone else may simply enjoy scooping, pouring, mixing and exploring different textures. That’s the beauty of child-led play… there won’t be a “right way,” only curiosity and discovery. 💚

These activities will help to support: 🐞 Imagination & storytelling
🖐 Fine motor skills
🧠 Problem solving
🌱 Sensory exploration
💬 Communication & social development
🎨 Creativity without limits

Sometimes learning will look like organised chaos scattered across a tray… and honestly, that’s often where the magic will be found. ✨
