Research has shown that most children who start school at age five unable to speak in full sentences find it hard to catch up, and that this divide actually widens over the years.

The past few weeks have been amazing! From constructing a wall for our team to stay safe in, to making our own bubble mix, going on a safari, making sofas and creating a TV complete with a TV unit. This sparked our interest in electricity!😎

Create a rainbow to put in the window of your house. So other children can hunt for rainbows and look at different designs, as they’re out for a walk (not in groups). Make others smile! #frommywindow #chasetherainbow
