A big thank you to the family for bringing in delicious food for everyone to share—it made the day extra special 💕
We also had lots of Easter fun with an egg hunt and enjoyed making colourful Easter eggs, bunnies and chicks 🐣✨

Happy Friday!

Thank you to all the mums and grandmas for the lovely morning together yesterday! The children absolutely loved it, and it means so much to share these special moments with you.
We often talk with the children about the “superheroes in our lives” — the people who care for us, help us and make us feel loved. What a wonderful way to celebrate those special people together.
Everyone enjoyed decorating cakes, and it was lovely to see mums and grandmas joining in.
After parents left there were a few tears, but lots of cuddles helped. We then read the beautiful stories “I Love You Mummy” and "Grandma loves me”- stories. ❤

Weve had an amazing week also celebrating superhero day, the children looked amazing and really enjoyed it. We had all the superheroes out to play and a lovely superhero story.

The children have been demonstrating strength,balance and coordination through play outdoors with balancing beams and running,jumping,dancing,hopping and skipping.

We look forward to the lovely week ahead. And we wish you all a very lovely weekend. 🤗

Happy FRIDAY 🤗.

What a lovely first week back weve had! 😁

This week we celebrated Pancake Day as we missed it last week during half term 🥞The children have been learning about what ingredients we use to make pancakes and enjoyed lots of hands-on play with flour, eggs, mixing bowls and pans. It was a lovely sensory and mark-making experience!
And of course… we had pancakes for snack!
“The best day ever!” is how the children described it 🥰

We are making our very own hungry caterpillar this week, lots of fun crafts exploring different materials and textures and a lovely story time.🐛.

We look forward to another lovely week ahead & We wish you a very lovely weekend. 😀
