We’ve been making the most of our outdoor space this week with lots of active, hands-on play! The children have loved crawling through tunnels, building their confidence and coordination, and taking part in a fun “cleaning” activity—washing our colourful rainbow fence using brushes. This not only encourages teamwork and independence, but also helps to strengthen the muscles in their wrists, hands and arms, supporting early writing and mark-making skills.

We were also very excited to receive our new wooden building blocks! The children have been busy using their imagination and creativity to design and construct amazing cities and buildings. It’s been wonderful to see their ideas come to life as they explore shapes, balance and problem-solving through play.
