Today we enjoyed playgroup and getting creative with our crafts. We all had a lovely time exploring different colours and talking about the colours we could see while creating our masterpieces. The children showed great imagination and creativity and were very proud of their finished artwork 🖼️ x

Today we went to explore the new areas at Imaginazone. The children really enjoyed themselves and had lots of fun participating in the role play activities. It was lovely to see their imaginations grow as they explored the different areas together 💕 x

This morning we enjoyed attending stay and play at Darlington Library. There were lots of exciting activities for us to explore and investigate. The children enjoyed participating in the different experiences, developing their curiosity and problem-solving skills whilst playing alongside their friends 🥰

This morning we enjoyed a walk around Teesaurus Park, exploring the dinosaur models. We had lots of fun!

This afternoon, after lunch, we continued our dinosaur theme with our very own dinosaur dig, where the children enjoyed exploring and discovering the hidden dinosaurs 🦖🦕 x

On Thursday we made the most of the lovely sunny weather. The children enjoyed exploring our sensory trays outdoors. We also had a trip to the park, supporting physical development and social interactions. Later, we planted our potatoes, giving the children a hands-on experience of growth and change while encouraging teamwork and care for our environment. 🌱 🥔 x

On Wednesday we had a fantastic time at our Tiny Beats session, exploring the weather through music and movement. Lots of fun was had by all as we listened, danced, and discovered different weather sounds together! ☀️🌧️🎶 x

We enjoyed a lovely afternoon session of stay and play at the library. 📚🪨
A calm and engaging way to spend the afternoon! X

This morning we explored the new tulip field, sparking lots of excitement and curiosity. 🌷
Inspired by what we saw, we visited the shop to choose some pots and plants, before returning to replant our gladioli and add a lovely splash of colour with some new flowers.

The children had lots of fun getting hands-on with the compost, carefully filling pots, planting, and watering our new additions. We talked about how plants grow and what they need to thrive. 🌱💧x

Today we practised our threading skills by carefully placing dandelions through the holes to create a lovely, bushy yellow mane for our lion. 🌼🦁

This activity helped develop our fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and concentration x

A morning at playgroup 🥰 x
