Today, we had so much fun reading Elmer and the Rainbow by David McKee! 🌈 🐘 Elmer taught us about kindness and sharing, and we were inspired to explore the beautiful colours of the rainbow. 📖 ✨ We spontaneously took part in some creative learning, painting our own rainbows and singing a new song, The Spectrum Song! 🎨 🎶 🌈 The children loved mixing colours and seeing how they blended together, just like Elmer’s patchwork. ✨ It was a joyful day full of creativity, exploration, and laughter! 😃

Today, our little ones had so much fun making blueberry and banana muffins, and in the process, we enjoyed lots of wonderful learning opportunities! 🥣🫐🍌 🫐 Counted the blueberries as we added them to our mixture. 🔡 Explored the letter ‘b’ for blueberry, banana, and baking. 👋 Developed fine motor skills by mashing, mixing, and stirring. 🥗 Learnt about healthy food and how fruit helps our bodies grow. 😋Enjoyed a delicious treat after all their hard work! Baking is a fantastic way to encourage hands on learning, creativity, and healthy eating habits. We’ve included the recipe on our nursery Facebook page in case you’d like to try making them at home too! Let us know if you do, we’d love to see your muffins!
This week at nursery, we’ve been celebrating kindness and friendship with lots of caring, sharing, and creative fun! The children have enjoyed making beautiful heart-filled pictures, using paint, stamps, and even their own handprints to spread joy. We explored a Valentine’s sensory tray filled with red and pink rice, rose petals, and hidden hearts of different sizes and textures. The children loved feeling the soft petals, scooping and pouring the rice, and searching for the hearts, making it a wonderful sensory experience that encouraged curiosity and fine motor skills. Instead of making individual valentine’s cards, we all created special pictures for each other to celebrate friendship, reminding us how wonderful it is to share and be kind. It’s been a fantastic week full of kindness, laughter, and creativity! Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at nursery! ❤️✨
 We had so much fun today with our water play! There was plenty of scooping, pouring, splashing, and giggles as the children explored different tools and textures in the water. 💦 From catching colourful bears to fishing out numbers, everyone got involved and yes, we all got a little bit wet! 😆 Due to the huge popularity of last week’s activity, we even had some special surprise visitors… the penguins! They waddled their way into our play, making it even more exciting! 🐧❄️ While we were having fun, the children were also learning through play, practising their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, counting, and colour recognition.
