💂♀️Rememberance day💂♀️
Today we went to visit Tunbridge Wells War Memorial to pay our respects and lay a poppy wreath to remember those who fought for our freedom. The children were intrigued by the other wreathes, crosses and messages, asking us to read them out and wanting to learn more. ✝️
We listened intently to The Last Post, and were very respectful and quiet for the 2 minute silence. We were very grateful to be stood very close to the mayor, and watched him lay a wreath too. After the 2 minute silence, a few people came over to us to compliment the children’s behaviour and say a big well done, and let us know how happy it made them to see the children be so respectful! ❤️
Back at Nursery, the team and many children took part with the 2 minute silence too.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.” 💂♀️

Bonfire night safety ✅
Bonfire night can be magical and exciting, however comes with many dangers. By preparing and being safe, you can enjoy all the fun!
Yesterdays learning activity was to promote fire safety with the pre-schoolers, with a big focus on standing back from fires, having an adult nearby for help, and never ever touching or playing with fire. The children were introduced to the fire safety circle, and discussed how they plan to stay safe whilst watching firework displays.
The children gathered some loose parts to help create their fire, with many children naming colours they can see and recognising that wood helps fires to burn! Josh spoke with the children about how some fires can have blue flames and that these are the hottest types of fire. 🔥
Have a safe bonfire night all!🎆 ... See MoreSee Less

At at a recent team meeting, we explored the curiosity approach and how we can use open ended resources to support children’s creativity and imagination.🔮
We set out some resources in the middle of the room, split the team into smaller teams, and set the timer for 7 minutes. In this time, the team had to collect 3-6 resources, decide what activity they would like to create, how they can make this suitable for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers and what learning intention is behind this activity.🧠
We think the teams did amazing, what do you think? 😍 ... See MoreSee Less

🍂Nature walk🍂
Today some of our inventors went for a lovely nature walk with the aim of finding lots of leaves and twigs! We started off walking to our local park, hunting and seeing how many leaves we could find. We also saw a bug hotel which was super exciting🐞🐛🐜
After listening to a story, we decided to head off and look for some different types of leaves and look at the size of the ones we found!🤩 ... See MoreSee Less

🪔Celebrating Diwali🪔
Across the Nursery, we have celebrated Diwali through varying activities. The investigators room have created their own henna and have designed their own patterns onto paper. The children learned that we use henna at Diwali to symbolize good luck, health, positive energy, and to express joy during the festival. Henna helps us to celebrate the Festival of Lights.🕯️🪔
