What We’ve Been Up To!
Our new educational programme is almost ready to launch and promises to be a brilliant combination of learning and fun. We will provide more detailed information about the programme at our next parent’s evening in April.
In the meantime, here are some of the projects the children have enjoyed this month.
Pre-schoolers prepare for Easter
What a busy bunch our pre-schoolers have been! This month they’ve been cooking yummy cheese straws, preparing pretend playdough food (delicious as ever!), and making Easter egg pictures with potato prints. Our pre-schoolers have also worked hard setting up and tackling an obstacle course in the nursery garden – an energetic activity which proved to be a real favourite! There has also been ‘spider shape sorting’, where the children used tweezers to put different arachnid shapes into bowls, and several Easter themed projects, including crafting Easter cards and making chocolate shredded wheat nests topped with mini eggs for their families.

Toddler Time
The toddlers have been busy making Easter chicks and on brighter days, building boats made of Duplo in the nursery garden. They’ve also been singing along and performing actions to their favourite songs and enjoying some wonderfully messy body painting! Our intrepid toddlers have also taken part in a balance obstacle course outside, as well as encouraging lots of giggles, this helps them improve balance and co-ordination.

Busy Babies
Our babies really enjoyed the special Mother’s Day event, which was lovely to see. They’ve also been making Easter cards along with other wonderfully sticky and colourful Easter-themed arts and crafts. This month has also seen the babies exploring sensory textures, such as, rough, smooth and hard, singing songs with actions, learning new words, playing with musical instruments and getting to grips with our new animal puzzles. Phew! Our busy babies really love learning through play!
