🎾⚽️Sports Week⚽️🎾

In celebration of the World Cup and Wimbledon starting, each room dived into a new theme of Sports last week 🤸‍♂️

Preschool were particularly interested in learning about different teams in the World Cup which lead onto learning rules when playing football. They shared thinking skills in how they could make their own goals and begun arranging themselves into team red and team blue. Children played games each morning and afternoon, showing skills in tackling, kicking and saving goals 🥅

Toddlers played a range of circle games using balls, parachutes and cones. Babies explored rolling and throwing balls overarm as well as in a net. During outdoor play, toddlers would line up ready for a range of races involving running, hopping, jumping and crawling 🥇

🥰 Fathers Day Breakfast Morning 🥰

Last Friday, dads were invited in for a breakfast and book morning with their children. They were able to choose from a selection of fruit and pastries before having some special time reading favourite books 🍓🥐📚

This followed on with preschool and toddlers having opportunities to share things about their daddy or family during a grouptime. One child said 'I love my daddy because he takes me to the science centre' whilst another said 'I love my daddy, he is silly' 💓

🦁🐘The Big Toddle Walk 🐘🦁

On Friday, our children participated in a safari themed half mile walk around our area to support the charity called 'Barnado's'. Barnado's are a wonderful charity who support fostering and adopting children and give support to parents. 💚

Please see the link below for more information about the charity organisation and how to make a donation:

www.barnardos.org.uk/events/big-toddle

The children chose safari themed masks and joined parents for a walk around Marleigh. The children did lots of animal actions along the way and when we got back to the nursery they then made their own safari set up's in the classrooms and acted like different animals for the day. 🐾🦏
