After the🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿game, we were ready for Coach Miles⚽️After warming up with stretches, we tested our agility with hurdles and sprints, before finishing with a dreaded penalty shootout! Determination, teamwork & confidence from all the children! #SignThemUp #ComeOnEngland

The Toddlers took turns cutting various vegetables! This experience not only taught them how to use equipment safely, but also helped develop their fine motor skills. They then blended them into a homemade soup, which they each took home in a cup! A yummy, hearty, autumn treat!

The Toddlers and Preschoolers have had lots of fun on the AstroTurf of @RastrickHigh. They enjoyed playing with the hula hoops, ball games, running races and more! #physicaldevelopment #multisport #fundamentalmovementskills

Child-led learning, supported by adults, empowers children to set the foundation for a lifetime of discovery. When we allow children to take a lead, their creativity flourishes and their engagement increases! #eyfs #earlyyears

When you read together, you're not just sharing stories; you're opening up a world of imagination, empathy, and knowledge. Every page is an opportunity for learning and bonding. Let’s create new memories and ignite a passion for books that lasts a lifetime!📚 #worldbookday2025
