What have we been up to this month?
Warm welcome!
A warm welcome to our new kitchen team, Terri and Jade. We can’t wait to see what delicious dishes they create!
Babies
Babies have had a lot of sensory play this month and enjoyed the different textures in their trays.
With the weather becoming warmer and warmer, the babies have spent more time in their garden and enjoyed story time and their sand tray.
They also had a sensory walk indoors and walked through the slimy river and watery walkway.
Toddlers
The toddlers also made good use of their sensory trays this month and made a sensory walk too, their trays consisted of different textures perfect for little feet to stomp on. They then made a beach themed tray using some foam, sand and shells.
Toddlers made the most of the dry weather and had a picnic outside and brought all their favourite snacks.
They also practiced their chopping skills and made some wonderful fruit kebabs for their snack time.
Pre-School
Pre-school learnt all about bees and how they collect nectar from flowers to make honey! We then made our own bees by cutting out the stripes and sticking it all together.
They then had a special delivery of some caterpillars this week. The children are excited to watch them grow and have even started drawing pictures of what they might look like.
Earlier in the month, they put some old bananas to good use and made a wonderful banana bread, delicious!
