After nearly two years we have finally got around to getting a sign for our front gate, Sarah was very excited when it arrived in the post today!

💎 Buttons and gems 💎
Sometimes on a Thursday afternoon you just need a bit of clay and some fun bits and pieces to stick in it! It’s the perfect slow and relaxing post-lunch activity to build up energy for an afternoon outside.

🌳 April and early May 🌳
This short half-term is going by so quickly! Here are some little moments of high involvement and concentration, something we look out for and treasure. Montessori believed that the deepest learning happens when a child is concentrating on something self-chosen so we try to promote it and protect it when we see it.

🌷 March 🌷
It has been so very nice to have some sunshine this month, compared to the rain of January and February. We are in that sweet spot of not needing waterproof trousers but not yet needing suncream and we are all enjoying it very much!
It’s funny to think that this time last year we were preparing to move spaces for the second time, how lovely to be settled and staying in one place.

🪴 The Nursery Garden 🪴
This morning the sun was shining and I couldn’t resist taking some snaps of our garden space. We have access to five outdoor spaces here, many of them shared with , but this little nursery garden is all ours. The plants are growing, the wood-chip is ready for digging and the babies are ready for their daily walk in the pushchairs!

📚 WORLD BOOK DAY 📚 This week we have enjoyed marking World Book Day at Montessori. For us this looks like: Continuing to share a carefully curated and ever evolving selection of books in all areas of our classroom which includes both indoor and outdoor learning environments; asking families to feel free to send their children in throughout the week with favourite books from home; and, inviting children to dress up on World Book Day itself if they would like. At Montessori we spend a lot of time making sure that the books (as well as other resources on our shelves) are representative of our current cohort of children. It is extremely important to us that all children see themselves represented positively throughout our setting.

🎪 Circus Skills 🎪
We have had a wonderfully fun afternoon with .washy.clown coming in to visit us. He did a show, a workshop and giant bubbles and it was full of fun and joy!
Children took part in all parts of the show, spun plates, balanced and stood in giant bubbles - what an amazing experience. Swipe to the end for Karen being a willing volunteer!

🌧️ JANUARY & FEBRUARY 🌧️ A half-term filled with rainy grey days looks like wellies, wet weather gear, lots of splashing, trips to the library, cosy stories, lots of mark-making and endless exploring. 🤩 Despite the fun, we’re all very much looking forward to welcoming in the Spring 🌱🌷🌤️
