Our Younger and Older Squirrels have been busy enjoying bee-themed sensory play today! 💛

From floor trays to tuff trays, the children explored a range of textures, colours, and materials, getting hands-on with “honey” play, scooping, pouring, and discovering new sensations.

A lovely, buzzy day full of curiosity, exploration, and smiles! 🐝

🐝 World Bee Day in Alice’s Class 🐝

Our younger preschool children in Alice’s class have been busy celebrating World Bee Day in the sweetest way! 💛

Together, they created their very own beautiful bee hive, filling each honeycomb with kind and thoughtful messages. From “bee kind” to “bee happy”, the children explored what it means to be a good friend and how small acts of kindness can make a big difference 🐝✨

Alongside this, the children enjoyed exploring our bee-themed activities, learning about bees, their homes, and why they are so important to our world 🌼🍯

It’s been a lovely way to introduce early discussions around kindness, caring for others, and working together—just like bees do in a hive! 💛

🐝🌼 **World Bee Day in Mrs Mardell’s Class** 🌼🐝

Today, our busy little learners in Mrs Mardell’s class have been celebrating World Bee Day through lots of fun, hands-on activities!

The children have been exploring the fascinating world of bees – learning all about **pollination**, how bees help flowers grow, and why they are so important for our planet. We talked about **hives** and how bees work together as a team, each with their own special job.

Did you know…
🐝 Bees communicate by doing a little “waggle dance”!
🍯 One bee will make just a tiny amount of honey in its lifetime
🌸 Bees help to pollinate around a third of the food we eat!

The children took part in a range of playful activities to bring their learning to life, helping them understand these big ideas in a fun and meaningful way.

At nursery, we love creating opportunities like this where learning happens naturally through play, curiosity, and exploration – and today was certainly buzzing with excitement! 🐝💛

Last week, the children in Mrs Mardell’s class took part in some lovely activities to mark Mental Health Awareness Week 🧘‍♀️💅✨

They enjoyed yoga sessions, relaxing face masks, and even some nail painting – all of which were a big hit and gave the children a chance to slow down, have fun, and spend time focusing on themselves and each other.

While these activities were a lovely way to recognise the week, supporting children’s mental health and wellbeing is something we prioritise every single day in nursery. Through our nurturing relationships, consistent routines, opportunities to express emotions, and creating a safe, supportive environment, we help children build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self.

For us, it’s about the everyday moments – listening, comforting, encouraging, and celebrating each child – not just the special activities 💛

🎶✨ Jo Jingles Fun! ✨🎶

Our younger Squirrels and Village class children had a fantastic time during their Jo Jingles music and movement session! 🐿️🏡

The children loved exploring a range of instruments – shaking, tapping and making lots of joyful noise as they moved along to the music. 🥁🎵 It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they joined in with the actions and rhythms.

There was even a magical disco light shining across the floors and ceilings, which the children were fascinated by, along with a bubble machine that filled the room with floating bubbles – adding even more excitement and wonder to the session! 🌈🫧

A lovely, lively experience that supports coordination, listening skills and lots of smiles all round 😊💛

Lots of fun in Alice’s class out in our Forest School area! 🌿
The children loved exploring the outdoors and had a great time blowing bubbles, watching them float through the trees and chasing them in the fresh air.

A lovely way to enjoy nature, build curiosity, and develop those all-important gross motor skills! 💚
