This morning our Wise Owls children we're very excited to meet a police officer. 👮‍♀️👮‍♂️

The children learnt about their role in the community and how they keep people safe. The children listened carefully, asked questions and shared their own experiences, supporting their communication and language development. They developed their understanding of the world by learning about people who help us and the important role police officers have within our community. 🚔🚨

🐌 A little discovery 🌿

Young Owls were delighted to find a little snail hiding in one of our tyres! The children were given uninterrupted time to observe, explore and wonder, following their own curiosity and asking questions.

Moments like these promote awe and wonder, curiosity and a love of learning, while allowing children the freedom to explore the world around them at their own pace. 💚🔎🐌
