Our Bluebells have had lots of fun rescuing pom poms from the spiders web! They did an amazing job using their fine motor skills to pick up the pom poms with the spoons and tweezers! We talked about the different coloured pom poms and the children were all great at identifying them! Well done! 😀

This week our toddlers are enjoying exploring the soil and discovering insects and worms using tweezers and cups. They showed curiosity and excitement while carefully picking up the worms and looking closely at the insects. This activity is supporting fine motor skills, turn taking, and early exploration of nature.🐛🐜🐞

We have also been feeding the farm animals with oats and cornflakes and talking about the different foods farm animals eat on the farm. The children enjoyed discussing which animals eat hay, grass, and vegetables, while exploring feeding and caring for animals through play.🐑🐮🐷🐴

Today in our Sunflower's room we have a fun maths activity for the children to explore! The children were guided to write and recognise the numbers! After they had traced the numbers using their fine motor skills, the children then had to find the right number of dots to match them together. Our Sunflowers had an amazing time exploring this activity, well done☺️

In Snowdrops our babies have been celebrating St George's Day with red and white oats. They have been using their fine motor skills to grasp the oats with their hands and practising scooping with spoons and pouring with cups. The babies loved hearing the sound of oats dropping to the floor.

DandeLION Fun!!

Our preschoolers loved our outdoor activity today, they searched the grass for dandelions to thread through their lion masks.
We love to get out in the sunshine, we're keeping our fingers crossed for more sunny adventures soon 🏵🦁.
