September 2024
Welcome to this month’s newsletter, where we look over the month of September.
Baby Cottage
The Baby Cottage had great fun outdoors exploring our mud kitchen in a variety of ways; using the pots and pans to fill and empty,
as well as making music. Babies wrapped up warm to head out in our new Turtle Bus, we went on a little wander to notice the sounds,
smells and sights outdoors. Lastly, back inside we continued our interest in filling and emptying containers as we added
ingredients together to create our own Banana Flapjack.
Baby Loft
The Baby Loft have had a great September! It’s been full of smiles and treasure. We’ve welcomed some new babies this month and have enjoyed taking part in different activities: riding the turtle bus and making our own flapjacks.
Toddlers
“Run, run, run, as fast as you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the gingerbread man” Toddlers read the story of the gingerbread man and then we made our own ginger biscuits.
Toddlers love to explore so they created their own treasure maps, we scrunched them up and stained them with tea bags to create an authentic look.
Preschool
Beep Beep! In preschool we have raced on the bikes and scooters, weaving around obstacles and exploring different speeds whilst developing out gross motor skills.
