Let's get physical!

The children have been showing off their skills this week, taking part in a series of physical activities. Some of the children wanted to relax with a lovely yoga session, stretching into various poses on their mat. They became trees and lions, as they stretched their heads up really high. Sienna said "I can touch the clouds with my nose, look!" They also practiced their roly poly's going in pairs, to see who could reach the end first. Some of them went over the top and some went sideways onto the grass. Bursts of giggles erupted as they went. The children have also joined in with a game of hopscotch, finding it fun to count the numbers as they jumped. Robyn said "I can jump the whole way to the end without stopping, watch me!" She kept going and going until she reached number 10. The other children were amazed and couldn't wait to have a go themselves - great fun!

This week the babies have been exploring the play park, the babies loved climbing up the slide and sliding down shouting yay and looking of the top of the slide before coming down with massive smiles. Ines held onto Xanthe and they slide down together with Ines saying 'go, go,' before shouting 'yay' when they began moving. We also had a go in the swirly chair, Rowan loved sitting in the chair and having a little swing around showing big smiles and having a bit of babble to herself and supporting staff member. We also played a little bit of football, James and Emily ran around the park laughing and shouting at one another, and when Emily caught the ball she laughed at James before waving her hand at him to come and get it saying 'Quick, quick'. Thomas however liked exploring the park wandering around and watching his friends try the equipment before having a go himself occasionally babbling at the children in supportive tones and excited tones when playing himself. They also had a go on the rocking horses, having a little race giggling to one another and trying to make the horse go faster than the others.

Let's explore at Molesey!

This week the children have been enjoying the sunshine and exploring our lovely outdoor area, and the amazing grounds of Imber Court. They went onto the big playing field to look for leaves and twigs. Thomas kindly said “I can help” giving the staff member a green leaf, “It feels crunchy”. Amelie saw a spider crawling along the floor and called her friends over “Look Albie, it’s a spider! ”. The children enjoyed running on the field taking part in ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf’, Sam counted “1,2,3 its dinner time!” as they all squealed and shouted across the field. Back in the nursery garden the children took part in cooking a scrumptious mud pie on the camp fire where they were taking it in turns to stir the pie. Thomas called his friends saying “Dinner’s ready !” Ezra went on to say “It might be hot, blow it!” They all took turns sharing and investigating the different natural materials. The babies have been having fun exploring the back garden as well, especially in the water tray with the toys splashing and kicking their feet, giggling away as they listened to ‘5 little ducks went swimming one day’!
