🧚🍽Magic starts here!🧙🥣

Our little explorers had so much fun using their imaginations to make a magical dinosaur soup! 💚 They poured, mixed and stirred all sorts of ingredients, including flowers, cornflour, cinnamon and cocoa powder, creating the most colourful and exciting mixtures. 🌸🥄
Of course, no dinosaur soup would be complete without a few spiders thrown into the mix! 🕷️🦖 The children loved serving their special creations to the dinosaurs and getting stuck into some wonderful sensory and imaginative play.

🌎🪐Our own planet- Earth!🌟🥰

Today in the forest, the children worked together to create Planet Earth on cardboard using natural materials. They collected stones, leaves, bark, sticks and soil to represent different geographical features, exploring their textures, shapes and colours.

This hands-on activity encouraged creativity, teamwork and problem-solving while helping the children develop an understanding of our planet’s diverse landscapes and the importance of caring for nature.

🛰️🚀Blast off! ✈️

Our children had an amazing time exploring our very own space station! They learned about astronauts, rockets, NASA, spacesuits and life in space, while using their imaginations to operate levers, switches and the control room. 🛰️

🌱💧 Little Scientists at Work! 🔬

Today, our children explored how water interacts with soil, sand, and stones. They poured, mixed, observed, and discovered that soil can absorb and hold water just like plants need to help them grow! 🌿

Through this hands-on experiment, the children developed their observation, prediction, and cause and effect skills while learning about the world around them.

🥁🪘what a magical morning for our pre-schoolers🥁🎼🏫

Children had such a lovely time visiting @kcscambridge today! They had so much fun singing and dancing along to Dingle Dangle Scarecrow, explored different rhythms and enjoying drumming.
Our little ones came back to nursery absolutely buzzing with excitement! They couldn't wait to show their teachers all the new techniques they learned!
