Autumn social!

This week in pre school has been a very exciting week as the children have been looking forward to their parents coming in to nursery for the annual Autumn social. Some of the children have been very creative and working together to make the decorations. Whilst Otto, Sebastian and Joseph engaged in a conker rolling activity, Esme, Freddie and Amelie were leaf printing and once all the art work was complete, they were very proud that their own pictures were being used for the bunting decorations. On the day of the party, the pre school children helped to make some cakes for their parents and siblings, Margot couldn’t wait to show off her egg cracking skills and Ethan concentrated really hard to ensure he got the mixture in to the cases with no spillages. Once the parents arrived, the children eagerly waited for them to be able to take them to their favourite place to play and River told his friends, “This is the best party ever” whilst looking at the bunting decorations in pre school.

The toddlers had a great time showing their mummies and daddies where they play, both inside and out, as well as taking them along the festively lit path at the back of the garden in search of hidden autumnal animals in a game of autumn themed bingo! 

In the build up to the parents coming the children had made some decorations for the event and were very proud to see them be put up. As it was getting closer to the arrival time Marlow, Charlotte, Halle, Margaux and Tabitha all hid under one of the A-frames in excitement, ready to pop out when their parents arrive. As they started arriving the smiles on the children’s faces were undeniable as they greeted them with hugs and kisses. After stopping by the food table for some sandwiches, salad and cake the children were off, leading the way to start the tour. Jenson took his mum and sister through each of the rooms, stopping at the dressing up box to put on one of his favourite outfits before resuming his play, while his sister prepared everyone food in the home corner. Sebastian took his parents outside and over to the balance beams, showing one of his favourite places to play. Phoebe and her grandparents explored the mud kitchen and sand pit working together to make a sand castle. A lot of the children used this time to play with their friends and siblings, Sienna and her brother Freddie sat in the baby room mud kitchen giggling together while Margaux and Charlotte ran up and down the hill together cackling. 

The under 2’s were super excited when welcoming their parents to their room and for many of them, this was their first time having Mummy and Daddy in to play. Many children enjoyed showing their parents the garden and helped search for the bright, orange pumpkins hidden high and low. 

As their parents arrived the children were sat down to have some tea, and they all welcomed their parents with big smiles. After they had finished their party food, the little ones all went off with their mummies and daddies and proudly showed off the nursery and some of their favourite toys. Calvin loved showing his parents the sandpit where they sat together playing with big smiles and Lowen showed off his skills on the trikes! Emily enjoyed playing out in the big garden and showing her mummy around.  Skandar also ventured happily to the big garden and began playing with the preschoolers, showing off his newly learned walking skills!
