Today our children enjoyed a wonderful adventure as we took a walk to the Snap Dragon Festival!
Along the way, we spotted lots of exciting things including the police station, buses picking up passengers, and even a friendly postman. We talked about everything we could see as we explored our local community.
When we arrived at the festival, our first stop was the duck pond where we counted 6 ducks swimming together. The children enjoyed talking about the different colours they could see before making their way to the park. They had lots of fun on the swings and both the big and little slides, showing fantastic patience by waiting for their turns so nicely.
One of the highlights of the day was meeting the local emergency services! 🚑🚓 We spotted an ambulance and a police car, and the wonderful crews invited the children to sit inside the vehicles with the flashing lights on. We talked about how ambulances help people when they are poorly or injured, and the friendly police officer kindly gave each child a sticker to take home.
After all the excitement, we found a shady spot to enjoy a well-earned drink before heading into the soft play tots tent for even more fun!
On our walk back to nursery, we stopped at the local shop where the children each chose a biscuit as a special treat. They waited patiently in the queue, helped to pay for their biscuits, and enjoyed them at lunchtime.
What a fantastic day full of community exploration, learning, and lots of smiles! 🌟😊
