Abbey Childcare

🎉 Abbey Party Day 🎉

Today we had our party day and what a day it was, jam packed with lots of fun and laughter ❤️

To start off our day we enjoyed some races, where the children had to throw bean bags into hoops, race around comes and balance a plastic egg on spoons! 🥚

This morning we enjoyed face painting and gillitger tattoos, the children got to choose what they wanted. The choices ranged from Spiderman, to rainbows, to bluey, to Rumi to Pepsi logos 🌈
It was so much fun watching the children enjoying having their face painted and having their glitter tattoos done. Staff got involved too which made it even more fun for the children ❤️

At dinner time we enjoyed some party food while listening to some party music. It was lovely to hear everyone talking about their faces, what they had and talking about other parties they had been to 🎉

After dinner we had our much awaited water fight! 🎈 the children and some staff had been waiting and asking for this for weeks 🤣 Today was the day! and what a water fight it was! very few children and staff came away dry 💦 The children had so much fun throwing their water balloons, the garden was full of laughter ❤️

🍰 Tesco's Visit 🍰

Happy Monday!
It is our last week of holiday club before we close for summer holidays! What a fun packed week we have planned!

But first ....
Here's a little catch up of what we done last week ..

We walked to Tesco's! 🛒 We had our shopping lists and were ready to shop for our cake ingredients.
It was a great opportunity for the children to be able to read the shopping list and match the items needed on the shelf. The children were able to talk about the different prices of the items and the different weight in what we bought.

While walking around the children told us lots of different stories of when they go shopping and what they buy 💰

After we had our ingredients it was time to scan! The children had the opportunity to scan the items themselves at the self checkout, they learnt how to find the barcode and where to scan it on the machine. This was a great life skill for them to learn for when they are older.

On our way out of Tesco's the children had a free apple to munch on after their hard work of shopping 🍎 thank you Tesco's

Once we got back to childcare, we popped our ingredients together and made some delicious cupcakes.

Our visit gave the children a great opportunity of understanding and knowing how to buy items that we need and how we can use them after.
