Star of the week ⭐️
Our star of the week this week is Arizona!
She’s settled in so well, she’s a great part of the team.
The children adore her and we do too.
She runs a great ‘bucket time’ for the children to explore and learn from, and nothing is too much for her.
Thank you for everything you do Arizona!

Our wonderful Donna and April came into Investigators today to design the children's very own pasta necklaces.
They had the opportunity to get as creative and festive as they liked and add sequins, paint, glitter and more!

Well done Donna Keane 🌟 👏🏻
Smashed it as always👏🏼⭐️
I would love their recipes as my kid loves their food 😄
Discoverers went on a very exciting trip into the local community as they have been exploring transport. They walked to the bus stop and waited very patiently for the bus to arrive, they done lots of big waves to the Driver as they climbed aboard and they went to discover what vehicles they could see along their journey.
They were very chuffed to of spotted motorbikes, cycles, cars, lorries and even a digger.

Pre-school have had a day full of science activities. They had a mini beast hunt, focused on the important of oral hygiene by looking at different foods which may have too much sugar and cause harm to their teeth as well as practicing the best techniques to make their teeth sparkling clean using a toothbrush.
They finished off with a science experiment which involved a test tube with some bicarbonate soda inside, a pippet to squeeze white vinegar and food colouring in to the mix and then they watched coloured bubbles appear and ooze out of the tube.
