As part of our ongoing Animal World project, the children explored tiger stripes and discovered that patterns aren’t just decorative- they’re clever camouflage! Through observation, discussion and creative mark-making, the children learned how an animal’s pattern helps it to hide in its environment.

National Storytelling Week reminds us that stories don’t only live in books 📚✨

With a light, a screen, and a little imagination, shadow puppets bring stories to life in a whole new way- through movement, voices, problem-solving and creativity. Children become the storytellers, the characters, and the directors all at once.
This is a great activity to try at home!

🦶🎨 Don't limit your creativity to just your hands: mark-making with your feet can stimulate a whole new level of imagination and unlock different parts of the brain. Give it a try at home and you might be surprised at what your child is capable of!

Did you know the folklore that during Passover, frogs hop into the kitchens where bread is made, and even into the ovens! This has inspired lots of frog-themed activities at the nursery this week!

Floating Flowers! For this activity, simply fill a container with some water, carefully place a folded paper flower onto the surface of the water, with the folded petals facing upwards, then watch as the petals on each flower start to unfold.
