Children take everything in. They love it when you chat, play and read with them, even when they’re too young to understand everything. You can turn almost anything into a game. And every little thing you do together will help set them up nicely for the day they start school. Please click on the button to access the Tiny Happy People Site. This has been launched by the BBC and endorsed by the Duchess of Cambridge. It offers information and ideas for parents of children aged 0 to 4 years.

Spring has arrived and we welcomed a very special visitor into Acorn Class. Elis and Eleri's mum brought in a lamb for us to meet. We were able to share all things we already knew about lambs and learn some new things too! Some of the children felt confident to touch the lamb and feel its fleece, some were less sure, but it was a very exciting event for everyone!
We have had a morning of painting. First we painted 'anything we wanted to', exploring how the paint worked and how to use the brushes. Then we painted our favourite dinosaurs. We think they look amazing!
We have been outside exploring our environment, using the Muddy feet resources. We have walked with bare feet, talked about our shadows, and then lay down and gazed at the sky and the clouds. We all felt very relaxed at the end of the session.
