The snow came at the perfect time last week, to start Room 2’s ‘Winter Wonderland’ theme this week. We have explored the winter season, the children have observed how ice is formed and how it melts, using their senses to observe the cold outdoors. The children enjoyed a variety of winter crafts including, but not limited to, making their own snowmen, decorating snowflakes and helping create wonderful winter window displays. Role play was transformed into Elsa’s ice palace, accompanied with princess and superhero fancy dress, lots of singing and dancing! What a wonderful week we have had, the perfect end to a frosty November ⛄️❄️ ... See MoreSee Less

This week, our little learners in Room 1 have been exploring the wonderful world of nursery rhymes! At ages 2–3, rhymes play a huge role in early development — helping children build vocabulary, strengthen memory, develop rhythm and listening skills, and even prepare for early reading.We’ve had so much fun discovering new rhymes together while also enjoying lots of familiar favourites.
