Last week, we had some very special guests visit our nursery. 🦮
We were very lucky to have two Guide Dogs come to the nursery for a visit. Kyla, a beautiful black Labrador came in with her handler Mel, and Ann brought in her retired Golden Retriever.
The pre-school children listened to how Kyla leads Mel to the road crossing and puts her nose to the button for Mel to find and press. They were also interested to find out that the dogs can work out the height and width of the area that both dog and handler need to navigate through when walking.
The children were then given the exciting opportunity to meet and stroke the dogs and to ask their questions. The dogs and the children were so well behaved during the visit! 😊
Mel and Ann are volunteer speakers from the charity Guide Dogs, and we are very grateful to them for giving up their time to speak to the children about how important a guide dog is for those living with sight loss and the work that the charity does in training these incredible animals. ❤️

Earlier this week, our Pre-schooler's got active by holding their own sports days. 🏃
Lots of gross motor skills were put to the test including going through hoops, balancing a ring on their head, tossing a bean bag into a hoop, jumping, balancing, climbing, and a final run to the end! Phew! 😮🥵
They did amazingly, and were each presented with a certificate to reward their fantastic efforts.
Activities like this not only works their muscles and helps to keep them fit, but it also allows them to understand competition, accepting not coming first (or being gracious in victory if they do win), helps with focus and challenges lots of physical skills like coordination and balance.
Even a small obstacle course can reap so many benefits.

Last week our Toddlers planted sunflowers. 🌻
The team talked with the children about the process of potting and watering, and how our flowers will grow tall with lots of water and sun.
We are excited to see how big they get! 📏😁

We were very excited to release our butterflies this morning. 🦋👋
They arrived with us on the 14th of April as tiny caterpillars 🐛 and we have been fascinated watching 🔍 them grow and change into chrysalis' before finally hatching on Friday.
We cared for them by giving them fruit 🍊 and sugar water whilst their wings dried out and they were ready to fly away today. 🦋👋

Yesterday we had a wonderful VE day party! ❤️🥳
The children enjoyed a lovely tea with sandwiches, sausage rolls and vegetable sticks followed by cake, jam tarts and jellies. We played some music from the 1940's which the children danced to with their friends. 🎶
The children made some red, white and blue bunting to decorate the garden and wore their red, white and blue crowns which they all enjoyed making. We learnt about food rationing and why the streets were dark and why we celebrate this special day. We were also lucky to have a parent bring some RAF caps in and all of the children were very eager to try them on. 🫡
The sunshine made the party extra special! ☀️

Today marks the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, the day that marked the end of World War Two in Europe, a time when the world rejoiced at the end of the European conflict. Let us remember and thank those who fought and sacrificed to bring peace. 🕊️❤️
Street parties have been taking place up and down the country, as they did 80 years ago where huge crowds took to the streets to sing, dance and rejoice after nearly six years of war.
Today, we will talk to our Toddlers and Pre-schoolers about why we celebrate VE Day, and they will be having their own street party in our garden with bunting, sandwiches, cakes and some good ol' 40s music.
