Small Wonders Thatto heath

Its beginning to look a lot like christmas ⛄️🎄

1st of December!!!! Toddlers have enjoyed getting in the festive spirit this morning, listening to our christmas songs and having fun in our christmas bauble jelly❤️

Our baby room have enjoyed exploring with Ice painting this morning 🧊🖌

Our Baby room has been taking part in lots of different activities to support their topic "Arctic animals"
The children have show a real interest in animals recently so Jessica used this to introduce new animal names and sounds 🦭🐧

Our preschoolers have initiated their own Play Project for this term! After reading the Stickman a couple of times the children asked at group whether they could make him... of course we said "yes!" We sat them in a circle and asked HOW they could make Stickman and WHAT would they need. The children gave lots of suggestions which turned a choice of activity into a Play Project.

A Play Project is where the children choose how they want to learn about an interest or a theme, it is split into four catergories; Make and Create, Draw, Build and Message/Write. Below are some of the things that preschool suggested... "draw", "playdough", "colours", "collect sticks", "cutting", "do body parts", "paint", "build him" and "use grass and leaves cos green".

Please keep an eye out for our Stickman Play Project Posts.

Our children had a lovely visit from the Road Safety Team this morning. They were so well behaved, sitting beautifully and using their amazing listening ears. The children listened to stories, joined in with songs and spoke about all the different important aspects of road safety. Well done Preschool and a big thank you to Mel from the Road Safety Team.

Our Preschool and toddlers celebrating Remembrance day 🌺

To some, our set ups may seem random 🤔, Everything we create in our nursery is based of the childrens interest and has a reason behind it:
Child wants a car, we make them a road
Child wants to make potions, we make a station
Child wants books, we make them a cosy corner
Child wants to be a teacher, we give them a uniform
Child wants a sand pit, we make them a beach
Child wants a home area, we add a kettle and iron

☎️ Spaces available for January 2023, 2 & 3 year old funded with a number of sessions to cater for all our families needs
