✨ Exploring Emotions ✨

Preschool have been exploring different emotions. They enjoyed looking at the different faces and copying each expression. 

They spent time talking about their own emotions and times that they have felt happy, sad, scared, excited, angry etc. 

Well done Preschool!

Pipette Painting 🎨

The toddlers had lots of fun creating eggs using tissue paper and coloured water.

The children practiced their fine motor skills by using the pipettes to paint with. 

Well done Toddlers!

Let's get Creative! 🧑‍🎨

The babies had a fantastic time creating collages. They explored different textures, colours and patterns. They loved feeling the fluffy feathers, scrunching up the tissue paper, and sticking everything down.

Well done Babies!
