🌱 Our Garden 🥕☀️
The preschoolers have loved spending time in our garden this week 😊, getting hands-on with planting and growing. They worked together to plant a variety of crops 🌼, carefully filling pots with soil, watering the plants, and learning about how things grow. There was lots of excitement as the children harvested fresh carrots from the garden 🥕, proudly digging them up and exploring their different shapes and sizes. Through gardening, the children enjoyed sensory experiences, teamwork, and learning about nature and healthy foods 🌿✨ It has been a wonderful week full of discovery, care, and outdoor fun!

🌿 Today in the garden, the children had so much fun exploring and building! 🪵✨

Using the large wooden blocks, the children worked together to create tall towers, carefully balancing and stacking as high as they could. This activity encouraged problem solving, teamwork, hand-eye coordination and lots of concentration! 💚

Alongside this, the children loved exploring our sensory flower garden, using scoops and bowls to pour, mix and investigate different textures and colours 🌸🌈

It has been wonderful to see the children so engaged in their outdoor learning and creativity today! ☀️🍃

🌿 Pre-schoolers Garden Fun ☀️
We’ve had a lovely time enjoying the sunshine in the garden 😊, where the children explored obstacle courses, practised their balancing skills, and had lots of fun running and playing together. There was plenty of sensory play too, from washing baby dolls in bubbly water 🫧 to exploring colourful foam and water play 🎨, as well as mark making and building activities. It was a fun-filled week of learning, creativity, and laughter! ✨

This weeks fascinations in the Transition department 🍃 ✨

This week in preschool, our little explorers have journeyed to two exciting parts of the world through play! They spent time in the vibrant Jungle, where they discovered all kinds of fascinating animals and plants. The children enjoyed using their imaginations to create their own jungle adventures, pretending to rawr like lions 🦁

They also ventured to the chilly Antarctic, where they learned about the icy landscape and the fascinating creatures that call it home, like penguins and seals. The children had a great time making snowballs, deepening their understanding of different environments. ❄️

Through these imaginative journeys, the children are learning about the world around them while developing their creativity and social skills. It's wonderful to see them engaged and enthusiastic in their play
