Another great week. Every time we leave the house we check on "Mr Spider" and his web! He lives just outside our garden gate and hasn't moved all week. The children love stopping by to look at him as we leave!We joined the Zoo, and this week we went on a woodland walk and visited the aquarium and butterfly house, as well as the playground and indoor play centre.
We also attended Teddy Bear Bop musical movement session and went to a new stay and play session where we made fireworks crafts. Puzzles have been a keen favorite back at base this week, with all the children!

My favourite parts of the day are when the children get stuck into their independent learning, their curiosity and investigation creates more questions and they set about finding answers.
Today one of the explorers used my daughters fan to see what objects he could move and what happened if he increased the force. I didn't ask any questions to bring his learning along because his natural curiosity kept taking him to the next step. His excitement was priceless... 🔬👩🏼‍🔬🧬🧪🥼

Yesterday was Ukraine independence Day 🙏 We have a Ukrainian family as part of our setting so today we will take the opportunity to talk about Ukraine and different cultures, we are Lucky to have an older sibling here today that will be able to help us learn first hand.
The children will be offered Verenyky (potato dumplings) and homemade borstch (beet soup) today and through the week for those attending different days!
And we will be painting eggs for good luck (pysanky)!
Гарного дня

This morning we prepare to say goodbye to three out of my 4 original cohort!
I'm so grateful for having the opportunity to watch them flourish and be a part of the most important years of growth.
I'm thankful for their families, who put their trust in me before I had any testimonials, no ofsted report and was working alone from my living room.
We have all grown together kids and you will always hold a special place in my heart..
I'm happy I will see you most days in the playground and still watch you grow and be your cheerleader from the sidelines!
