We enjoy mark making, wether it pens, pencils, paint, or lcd tablets, it all helps us develop our fine motor skills

We made our mums special cards and pictures, because we love them

Last couple of weeks with the little ones, so glad to have the sun shining and get outside properly for more than 10 minutes at a time,

Today is Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent for Christians. Today also marks the beginning of Ramadan, a Holy month for Muslims. It's not often they overlap. As we Pray, Fast and Give in both traditions, may we do so together as we focus on our relationship with God and with each other.

Fresh air and park this morning,

Messy church last weekend, we have been going to this group over the last 8 yrs at least, the people that run it, and the volunteers are lovely,

How each child ran with their own ideas,

Crafts, dance, in a week of learning, I mean fun filled days

Letting children choose what they want to play with and how they want to play is important, guided play is also important

Little tear for the children this week, That Fun Place in Bolton, really nice players and the staff were really helpful with allergy concerns, the food we ordered was really nice

We have a couple off this week with Hand , foot and mouth, a nasty virus that spreads really easy, making most children miserable and itchy, my policy is to exclude them until the spots have dried, even though the NHS says they can go into childcare/ school beggars belief,

Building, books, mark making,
