Our story of the month is
“Goldilocks and the three bears”
We are going to embed this story into children’s play and learning experiences. Repetition of story books is really important for early language and communication skills. Keep an eye out for some experiences to try at home related to this😀

A lovely morning exploring the fairy garden! We developed an awareness of the world around us, through climbing investigating and retelling familiar stories, sparking curiosity through play.
"that's the gruffallos house" Our children show nurture towards others, " don't be scared I can help you"

A group of children enjoyed a lovely unhurried walk in the woods today. So much learning through the natural environment. They used natural resources to explore volume and depth. “this bits not too deep!” Such positive interactions fostered through a slow approach 🍂 💦
