Children’s Mental Health Week…
Throughout a week in February, we supported Children’s Mental Health week by engaging in different activities throughout the week, encouraging children to be open, honest and relax here at Cribbs Causeway. Preschool relaxed by making infused water (orange, cucumber, and lime), they then chose to lie down and relax by putting some cucumbers on their eyes and later repeated words of affirmation. Throughout the week we also did some baby yoga where babies and preschool joined together, and babies had quiet time by doing small group key family time. The whole nursery then wore their lounge wear and relaxed by reading stories!
Preschool have been busy this month, engaging in a range of activities. They have been learning about the size of hands and how all our hands are varied sizes. They compared their hands by holding them up against each other and then decided to find some paper and pencils to draw around their hands, cut them out and then discuss the sizes afterwards.
We have been busy baking this month!
Toddler’s and babies had there very own private chef lesson with Tina. They made some yummy mufifn pizza’s, where they chopped up the vegetables, spread the tomato suace and then finished by sprinkling the cheese!
A huge thank you to parents who took home our baking bags this month too! We hope you had fun baking some yummy banana oat cookies.
