Biodiversity at Knightsridge Early Years Centre
We had “newbies” join our nursery family in April. This sparked unwavering interest and learning in the minibeasts that could be found around our garden.
Have a look at our learning below.
Our "newbies" joined our nursery family today @KnightsridgeEYC 🐛. We are all looking forward to watching them develop and grow as we learn about metamorphosis.🦋 #lifecycles #developingbiodiversity pic.twitter.com/ELL9m51P5m

Going to School PEEP
As part of our Transition to School activities we will be offering a 4 week block of Going to School PEEP.
PEEP is an interactive parent and child group that can give parents/carers tools to support their child in early learning experiences. These groups will guide you through activities and experiences that will support your child’s development in early language and vocabulary skills, literacy and writing skills, developing mathematical knowledge and number sense, as well as routines and independence for joining Primary 1.
These groups will be held virtually through Skype and therefore a device that is internet enabled would be required.
You can sign up to attend following the links below.
The Easter Bonnet Parade
Child initiated learning at its best. We’ve had lots of fun with our Easter Bonnet Parade.
PEEP Virtual Playroom
There might not be a Fab Friday PEEP Group this week but you can still enjoy learning together through our Virtual PEEP Playroom.
