🧺 Try at Home! 🧦
Pegging up laundry (even tiny dolls' clothes!) is a wonderful way for children to help out at home.

This simple, practical task supports fine motor skills, hand strength, and hand-eye coordination, while also building confidence, independence, and a sense of responsibility. When children feel involved in real-life routines, they learn that their contributions matter.

🔥✨ Wishes, wonder & a little Forest School magic ✨🔥
Last week, our Forest School fire became something truly special. Each child carefully placed their pinecone into the flames, carrying a wish for the new year. As they burned, the different natural coatings transformed the fire into dancing colours – a beautiful reminder that every child’s hopes and ideas are unique.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Winter Lights Celebration on Thursday evening, especially the children of Stone St Mary's Primary School choir for their beautiful singing.

✨ Try at Home Activity! ✨
Last week, our preschool children grated cheese and carrots to make their own tasty wraps- a simple, healthy lunch you could try out at home!
Top tip: Try using a small nutmeg grater- its size makes it much easier for children to handle safely and confidently.
Let them sprinkle, roll, and enjoy!

Our little artists are getting ready for next week’s Winter Lights Celebration! This beautiful Christmas tree drawing is just one of the many creative designs the children have chosen for their paper lanterns. We love seeing their imagination shine through as they prepare to light up the season with colour, warmth, and wonder. 🌟
