Messy child Learning child!
There are times when you pick up your child and
think “Look at the state of you!” You might even despair at the stains on the new clothes that are on for the first time.
But worry not!!
Messy children are active learners!!
Stains are just a little record of some of the fabulous learning we have been doing!
Stains that come from nursery can return to nursery!
That’s why we have nursery jumpers and shirts – so that you don’t need to worry about ruining the clothes a grannie just gave. And old trousers and shoes or wellies are the best for nursery too. You see we value mess, we know how much learning can take place in mess! (which is just as well as most of us go home covered too!)
So next time you see your child’s jumper like this:
…..then we know you’ll say, “Wow you have been busy learning today – what were you doing when you played outside?”
…. And remember that anything that doesn’t wash out can be worn as a badge of honour as a good learning experience!
