The Chronicle

This week we have had a lovely messy time, from painting with rollers on the floor (with winter sparkly paint), to scrimbling with shaving foam on the tables (practising our early writing skills)… it has been a whole lot of fun!  

Unfortunately Storm Christoph stopped us getting out as much as we would have liked but, today we had a break in the weather and made the most of it – putting on our wellies and digging for worms.

We have also had a couple of lovely emails from our friends who are staying at home, Ciara sang for us, Haris showed us his building and Ella has been exploring maths with her Mum, thank you. 

I would also like to thank all of our parents for supporting us through all the changes that have happened in order to keep everyone safe, we appreciate how difficult things can be for everyone right now, and what matters most, as always, is that all our children are still having a wonderful time and are happy both here and at home. 

Wishing you all a very happy weekend.

We’ve all enjoyed being creative this week playing with shaving foam. Thanks to its squishy, fluffy texture it is great for sensory play, helping our little ones to explore their senses. It also encourages fine and gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, cognitive and language development and much, much more. And best of all it’s often calming and always good, clean fun!

Our lovely Little Crackers squirted their foam, then swirled it with a stick and placed paper on top. After lifting the paper off, we scraped the foam away and were delighted to discover lots of marvellous marbled patterns!  There were lots of colour mixing conversations, and more than a little bit of old-fashioned awe and wonder.

We always enjoy our creative and imaginative play.
