🌾✨ Harvest time at KatieB Kids! ✨🌾
Our Prescolare children have been exploring the meaning of Harvest Festival- talking about where our food comes from, how we can show gratitude for nature’s gifts, and the importance of sharing with others.

To celebrate, the children decided our nursery garden needed a little extra protection… so they created their very own scarecrow to watch over the vegetables! 🥕🌻👒

🍂 Try at Home: Conker Sorting! 🟤✨

A simple autumn activity that’s full of learning! Encourage your little one to count, sort, and group conkers into an egg box- by size, colour, or number. This hands-on play supports:
🧠 Early maths skills (counting, comparing, grouping)
🤲 Fine motor development and hand–eye coordination
💬 Language growth through describing and discussing what they see

🌰 Important: Always supervise closely in case your child is tempted to try and eat them!

This week, Amelia is demonstrating the sign for 'cold'. For this sign, make your hands into fists and quiver your arms as though you are shivering.

✨ Try it at Home! ✨
Turn an old box into a fun colour-sorting game 🎨✂️ Simply cut holes in the box, paint them in different colours, and invite your child to drop items into the matching spaces. A brilliant way to explore colours, practise sorting, and build fine motor skills.

As a lot of you will know, we are so lucky to have our very own 'Nursery Knitting Nana'! This week she has gifted us a beautiful hand-crocheted bird mobile, now swaying gently above our babies as they play and rest. 🐦💛
Her creations bring love, comfort, and a little bit of magic into our nursery- thank you, Knitting Nana! 🌸
