This week our learners decided they wanted a sand pit that they could get into with no shoes and socks! so they worked together to find the perfect location, dug out the mud, cleaned it and filled it with sand!

Our interest in summer and the beach has extended into other areas within the garden. Our children have created the most wonderful paintings, look out for them in our outdoor art gallery at pick-up time!

After a recent beach trip some of our children were inspired to make their own beach scene.

By developing literacy skills in their home language, children have an easier time learning to speak, read, and write English in the future. If you speak another language at home we would love your child to share their favourite stories with us #inclusion #literacy #Diversity

A puddle is like a book, each one unique and filled with new possibilities. Just as books are a gateway into the world of words and stories, puddles provide children with opportunities to learn about movement, the natural world, and play SCN 0-12a
