Congratulations to last week’s wonderful award winners. What lovely smiles.
Award Winners
Fingers, Forks and Chopsticks
For all the super resources we have which the children love to choose and explore, sometimes a sensory experience can be the best activity of all. The children have loved experimenting with the tray of spaghetti this week, producing some super vocabulary to describe it and developing their fine motor control as they explore it with their fingers, forks and chopsticks. We hope that you like these action shots of some of the morning children in spaghetti action.
Proud Family
Georgia’s family likes the photo of her with her certificate:
“Aww my girl so proud”
She certainly looks pleased with her achievement. Well done!
Derek the Paramedic
As we begin to learn about our community and the jobs we can grow up to do there, the morning children had an exciting visit from ‘Derek the Paramedic’, also known as Harper’s Papa. The children enjoyed finding out about the equipment he uses in his job and Derek listened very patiently to stories of medical situations the children had experienced as we tried to work out when we need an ambulance. They were also excited to see all the equipment inside the ambulance which he kindly brought to Nursery and, of course, the blue light and siren were great highlights of the visit.
Thank you so much to Harper’s Papa for taking the time to talk to the children about his job and for showing them inside an ambulance which he hopes should make it less worrying for a child if they ever need to use one for a trip to the hospital.

Dentist Joshua
Joshua’s family has been looking at all the photos from Toothtastic Tuesday when he tried out all the different activities.
“Joshua loved dressing up as a dentist and he loved inspecting teeth. He just got stuck straight in.😊 ”
“Joshua loved brushing the teeth that day. He concentrated so hard & done his very best. Well done Joshua! Lovely picture here of him & Bethany.☺”
“Joshua sat just like he would visiting the dentist. Mummy & Daddy are very proud of him.😊”
He does look very busy in these photos – great concentration Joshua! It was lovely that your Mummy was able to join in with you at the activities too.
Super Den
I wonder if anyone has noticed a recent change in our outdoor area? Some of the morning children were very busy recently, creating a new style of den that we had not seen before, using the fence as part of their construction. What great teamwork and perseverance they showed to create a really super den where they enjoyed great imaginative play. The children decided to leave some of the wooden planks round the corner of the fencing so we will wait to see what might develop there next.
