Our children loved going out into the community to visit our local Library! They enjoyed listening to stories, joining in with the musical instruments, exploring the library and independently selecting books of their choice and learning how to borrow books from the library to take back to nursery with us! We try to visit the library as often as we can to promote the children's love for reading! ๐ฅฐ๐

We had so much fun learning all about healthy eating and the importance of keeping hydrated last week as part of Nutrition and Hydration Week! Here's a little insight into some of the fun things we got up to, including using real fruits & vegetables when learning all about the Hungry Caterpillars life cycle, sparking lots of conversations around healthy eating, using the peel and fruit & vegetables to paint with to provide further sensory experiences and treating our children and mummies to a lovely healthy breakfast! ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ฆ

On the 1st March Down Syndrome UK invited Nurseries, Childminders, Pre-schools and Early Years settings to plant a sunflower seed in class and watch them grow for 21 days ready for Down Syndrome Day on 21st March! Each flower, just like each child, will grow and blossom in different ways. We couldn't wait to get involved and our lovely children have planted their own sunflowers! They have been talking about the different things plants need to grow and how the seed will transform into a sunflower. ๐ป๐ฅฐ

The children love making cookies across the nursery and this time it was our Ladybirds turn! As they mixed the ingredients and shaped the dough they practiced saying key words to describe what they were doing such as โmixโ, โflatโ and "push". The children took them home to show their families and the best part - eating them! ๐ช๐
