Happy Mother’s Day 2021

Emma and the children have made these wonderful Mother’s Day cards for Sunday.

Have a Pot of Tea on Us

They made lovely prints and cards, Emma made templates of the word ‘Mum’ and placed them on-top of pink card. The children then used their fingers (some hands!) to make dots around the template so when it was removed the word Mum was highlighted with colour.

Leo Not Sure About Using Fingers

Emma adapted the prints for each child, Theo wasn’t too keen on finger painting so he used a paint brush.

Emma Wrote this Poem on the Back of the Prints
Card and Print

Charlie and Sophie chose to make a mosaic card by sticking coloured paper strips into a heart shape and colouring in the front with pre-drawn heart shapes.

The children loved this activity and were all very proud to give them to their mummies. They proved this by asking every day since making them if they could take them home.

Happy Mother’s Day to all our Mummies!

Quiet Spaces

Today Alfie was grumpy with all the noise the Wanderers and Rangers were making. Tracie decided it was time to go into the garden to find a quiet place for one-to-one play. We chose to play together in the trampoline with different sensory balls.

Alfie enjoyed having a small quiet space to play and we had so much fun listening to the birds and insects flying about.

We decided to have story time on the trampoline. Afterward, Tracie got out and Alfie had a bounce about. When Alfie went back into the setting the older children had finished with noisy play and Alfie was less stressed. Nice and calm!
