Bear Dancing With Nicky and her Accordion

Wise Owls had a visit from a lovely lady called Nicky who brought along her Accordion. We listened as Nicky played different songs such as the Wheels On The Bus and Old McDonald Had A Farm

Nicky also taught us some dancing called Bear dancing which originates from Belgium.

We were all excited to explore and learn about the accordion and how it works and how it makes such a magical sound

April - Month of the Military Child

Both the staff and children joined in the fun of Purple up day in recognition of the month of the military child.
Thank you so much to our parents who have shared some lovely military related photos of their uniforms, job expierence and job roles such as flying helicopters. The children have even got to wear a flying helmet provided by one of our parents.
Thank you to the Station Commander for coming to read stories to our children in Preschool and for answering all their very inquisitive questions.

And finally meet “Roy” our Military child created by Wise Owls 🙂

We just wanted to share a massive thank you to one of our parents, Danny and the team from Babcock for their wonderful volunteering efforts today!

They tidied up our outdoor area, painted fences and sheds, moved fences and gates, fitted foam flooring in one of our sheds and completed some wonderful gardening! Along with the last minute on the spot jobs of course 😁

Your hard work is massively appreciated in making a difference to our children's outdoor spaces.

Thank you once again!
