One thing we love about being outdoors is giving children the opportunity to develop their gross motor skills! The children had so much fun using the crates to build a variety of platforms to jump from and safely take risks! They also explored their teamwork skills building large scale towers! 👷🏻♂️👷🏾♀️

We understand the importance of role play and the many benefits it has to children's learning and development, including building their confidence and independence. The children have been developing their knowledge and skills across all seven areas of learning in this fab Garden Centre set up in the preschool classroom! 🌿🔢🗣️👌🏼👫🌍📚🏡

We have had lots of fun celebrating British Science Week across the nursery! The Bees children have been experimenting with coloured raindrops working on their fine motor skills with the pippets and taking turns! They also loved making their own rainbow watching the colours travel on the kitchen towel to mix together and create a rainbow! This enabled the children to practice their physical development skills to pour the water, squeeze the food colourings and fold over the towels. They did amazing following instructions and taking turns! The preschool children have been having fun incorporating their Spring focus in their experiments! They have been experimenting and predicting what may happen when the flower drinks the coloured water! 👨🏿🔬👩🏼🔬🌈🌼

Our preschool children have been busy painting daffodils and planting sunflower seeds as part of their Spring topic! They have been focusing on creating closed shapes with continuous lines and beginning to use these shapes to represent objects, whilst showing a preference for a dominate hand! They have also been learning how to care for growing plants and are beginning to understand the need to respect and care for the natural environment and all living things 🥰

The children have been having fun celebrating the Hindu festival Holi; the festival of colour. Staff have been focusing on encouraging and modelling language and celebrating the festival Holi by filling and emptying containers whilst exploring different textures with our younger children. With our older children they have been practicing their independence and strengthening their fine motor skills in this fab colour mixing activity 🌈🖐🏼

We love bringing the children's learning outside and thinking of lots of ways to make learning fun! This is a great activity idea that can easily be recreated at home - all you need is some chalk, paintbrushes and a bucket of water! Chalk the numbers onto a fence/wall/floor, then trace over them with the paintbrushes and water! This activity is great for developing number recognition, strengthening hand muscles and supporting letter formation! 🖌️💦🪣
