25.01.2022 Today the Nursery children helped make "Cloud Dough". They all took turns to help squeeze out the shampoo and mix the dough together. This activity encouraged the children to use their fine motor skills when using the different utensils and cookie cutters, and also promotes their sensory development by feeling the smooth texture of the dough.

07.01.2022 The twelve fundamental movement skills are: balancing, running, jumping, catching, hopping, throwing, galloping, skipping, leaping and kicking. Studies show that if children develop these skills in the early years, they are more likely to have an active lifestyle as an adult. Today our Toddler children practised throwing and catching a ball through a hanging hoop. This experience also strengthens childrens stability skills such as balance, twisting, turning and bending.
