Autumn Social & Treasure Trail!

What a lovely autumn social event this week. It was wonderful to see so many families get together, some for the first time and some regrouping whilst exploring an Autumn Trail in the nursery garden and enjoying some tasty food and drink together. The children from preschool and toddlers had previously had a dance party together to have fun and burn off some energy. The trail in the garden was very popular for the children and even some mummies and daddies! There were spiders to find and real life webs to climb through. Jonathan had spotted the first spider in the tree and called his friends over, “Here is a spider, it’s a big spider, don’t worry though it’s only a pretend paper one”, which seemed a relief for a couple of the children.

The next adventure was to climb through, under and on top of the webs to get through to see what was hidden in the tree house and through the tree and bushy areas at the back of the garden. There were many spiders found throughout the way. Youcef was very fond of the spider picture he had found and certainly wasn’t letting that go.!

The diggers were ready in the sandpit which the children used to dig for treasures such as shells and animals which was so exciting!

Although most of the event was held outside, inside the toddlers room some of the children including our recent school leavers enjoyed drawing their very own pumpkins whilst looking at a real life one. Olivia was fully engaged and thoroughly enjoyed copying what her older sister was drawing. In the preschool room, the train set with dinosaurs invading was a go to as well as the letter stamps and paint pads. Some of the toddler children really enjoyed this activity, getting as messy as they could with their hands rather than the stamps. It was lovely to see all the new baby room parents all get together and engaging in conversations too.
