Brodie Gets Busy in the Kitchen
Brodie has been helping mum and dad to prepare meals. This has encouraged him to try new foods, especially different fruit and vegetables.
That carrot and spinach smoothie looks delicious, as does your aubergine dish. You look like you are certainly enjoying your new favourite fruit – watermelon!
After all that hard work in the kitchen, we are glad to see you are getting the chance to go out exploring.

Planning Together
We hope that you had a relaxing Easter holiday, and that you have had a chance to explore some of the activities on the blog.
As always, we would like to work with our children and their families to plan and develop the learning experiences we provide to ensure they meet the children’s needs and interests.
If your child has new areas of interest you can let us know through the comments section allowing us to create ideas and activities to support and enhance those interest.
