🌻 Wellbeing Wednesday 🌻

Our brains help us think. Our hearts help us feel.

When we listen to both, we can learn, grow and be kind to ourselves and others.

🎵🎸 Future Band Members in the Making? 🎸🎵

The children have spent the last few weeks enjoying our wooden musical instruments, and a new DJ mixer quickly became a firm favourite!

To build on their interest, I decided to swap out some of our wooden instruments for electronic ones, changing the way we create and explore music together.

The children have loved experimenting with the drums, xylophone and guitar, creating their own music, putting on performances and making plenty of noise along the way!

I fear I may have accidentally started the next up-and-coming band... although whether they'll agree on what song to play is another matter!

✨ Handmade with Love ✨

The children loved creating these special photo frames for Father's Day, choosing their own colours, stickers and designs to make each one unique.

There was lots of concentration, creativity and pride as they decorated them in the garden, ready to be given as a special gift.

🖍️ Mark Making Doesn't Have to Be Paper! 🖍️

A cardboard box, a pen and a big imagination were all that was needed for this activity.

Mark making can happen anywhere, on cardboard, in sand, with paintbrushes and water, or even with fingers in mud. Every scribble, line and drawing helps children develop important early writing skills while having fun.

Sometimes the best activities come from the recycling pile!

🧩 Matching Time! 🧩

Animals, weather, vehicles and fruit, can we find the matching pieces?

The children have been using their observation and problem-solving skills to match the puzzle pieces before adding the wooden pictures on top.

Lots of concentration, lots of discussion and lots of fun!

🐦🦔 Our Garden is Full of Wildlife! 🦔🐦

One of the things we love most about our garden is watching all the wildlife that visits throughout the year.

Recently, we've spotted squirrels enjoying snacks from the squirrel café, a whole family of blackbirds, robins, blue t**s, butterflies, crows, magpies and plenty of pigeons, including the children's favourite, George the Pigeon, who is always recognised thanks to his wonderfully fluffy feathers!

We also have a particular magpie who regularly visits for a drink from the children's water tray. The children are always excited when they spot him stopping by!

We've been keeping an eye on our hedgehog house too. While we haven't spotted our visitor yet, we have noticed a little burrow appearing in the hay, suggesting that a hedgehog may have been visiting during the night.

The children have also enjoyed discovering lots of tiny baby snails and observing how different animals move, eat and behave in our garden.

With all the feeders, wildlife homes and habitats the children have helped to put up and care for, it's been wonderful to see so many creatures making use of them. Every visitor gives us another opportunity to learn about the natural world around us and helps the children develop a real appreciation for local wildlife.

🌻 Wellbeing Wednesday 🌻

I remind our little sunflowers that they don’t have to be like anyone else… and that’s what makes them special.

Being yourself is more than enough.

🧲 Exploring Magnets! 🧲

Which objects stick to a magnet? Which don't?

The children have been putting their detective skills to the test, exploring magnetic counters, shapes and a variety of different objects to see what happens.

Lots of curiosity, investigation and excited discoveries along the way!

Zooming, sharing and taking turns!

The Scuttlebugs are always a favourite in our garden.

Most days there are more children then Scuttlebugs, which creates lots of lovely opportunities for learning to share, take turns and wait patiently for a go. The children love zooming around the garden, choosing whether to go fast or slow, carefully steering around each other and building their confidence in movement and coordination.

They’re also very well looked after by the children, sometimes they even stop to “give the bike a wash” before carrying on their adventures again.
