21.01.2022 Happy Fathers Day!

21.01.2022 Friday the 14th of August - Red Nose Day to help raise awareness of Sudden Infants Death Syndrome (SIDS) we had planned a special day by wearing the colour red and set up a variety of fun activities. Out in the main yard we had our party set up for our friends to enjoy. We had the disco in the centre of the yard where the children rolled the dice and danced to the picture that the diced lands on from the poster, we had some scented cloud dough under the covered area, a sens...ory trough filled with red rice and pasta, face paintings, playdough down the back on the grass, red paintings, Red Nose Day colourings, bubbles and dancing around with red streamers. As you can see we all had a fantastic time enjoying one anothers company and all being involved as a centre. The toddlers especially had so much fun exploring the slime and blowing bubbles using the bubble wands. See more
