This is Georgia and Fearne working very hard on their number work. They are concentrating and communicating well to support each others learning.
Emma has handmade the girls activity sheets to go alongside their personal next steps. Alfie thought he was missing out so Emma involved him in the activity.
Today Georgia showed Emma how well she has become at counting and recognising her numbers. Georgia even counted backward from five.
Today we had such a surprise when we received a text and photo from Niamh in Ireland. Niamh’s mum said she has settled well but keeps asking to come and play at Tracies.
Sebba sent us photos from his trip to see the lights at Knowsley Safari Park. He had lots of fun and even had an ice cream, we all thought he would get extra cold eating it! Brrr
Today we had a good luck tea to wish Niamh all the best on her way back home to Ireland. We have loved watching Niamh grow up into a beautiful and thriving two year old. We are all sad to see her go, but we will stay in contact and next time she’s back in England she will pop in to see us.
Christmas is an exciting month at Tracie’s Treasures. We love doing various activities and making gifts for our families. This year we have had to make changes due to the pandemic.
Father Christmas normally comes to give us gifts and treats but we wanted to keep him safe. We celebrated this year by sending him our photos, emailed him our Christmas lists and he sent Tracie our gifts by Reindeers to pass onto us.
This October we purchased some new soft play equipment. It has become a favourite play choice for all the children. Here are a few pictures showing how the children have enjoyed playing with it. Even Emma had fun!
Tracie’s grandson, Jack was born on the 9th of October weighing in at 9lb 3oz.
We are happy to announce the arrival of our youngest addition to the childminding family. Jack was born in October and is thriving, Chloe is such a good, big sister and is very protective of him. The children love him coming to visit and Tracie loves having lots and lots of cuddles with her grandson.
Following our lovely activity with leaf printing we decided it would be good to use the baby pumpkins, that Georgia kindly brought in, to make pictures.
Tracie set the activity up and the children loved it so much they wanted to print on other materials. When we had finished, Leo asked if we could make other pumpkin pictures. Emma helped the children make a display for our wall.
Poppy and Tracie went to Croxteth Park to collect leaves for the seedlings to make Autumn leaf prints. Here are their beautiful creations!
