I’ll huff and I’ll puff…
Following on from the story of the month Toddlers reenacted The Three Little Pigs building houses out of sticks and bricks, talking about which house is the strongest.
Easter at Horfield
The children celebrated Easter by taking part in a range of activities. Babies explored a sensory tray full of chicks and eggs whilst Toddlers played place the tail on the bunny.
Thank you to everyone that came to the Easter Tea, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. The children had lots of fun taking part in our Easter egg hunt and enjoyed having a visit from our special guest, the Easter Bunny. We were also very impressed with the children’s homemade Easter bonnets!
