Today, the toddlers and preschool rooms have had very special visitors. In the toddler room, Murray Barnett, Hamish's dad, came into do some baking with the children. The children helped to mix all the dough together, before attempting to shape it into balls then flattening them to make some scones. The children all got to try these for snack. And in Preschool, Martin, Maria's brother, and Ashley came to visit and talked to the boys and girls about working in bakery. Martin s...howed us all his uniform and let the children try on a hairnet and explained why they have to wear them. Martin demonstrated some cake decorating and then he let the boys and girls try using proper piping bags and nozzles to decorate some cakes of their own. We would like to say a massive thank you to our visitors for giving up their time to join us today and for leaving us some extra gifts when they left 🍞🎂

On Friday, our baby room children were lucky enough to enjoy a trip to the East Sands. The boys and girls explored the beach, feeling the sand and the different textures on the beach, such as seaweed and shells. The group took a walk right the way along the beach to the pier area and the children were able to investigate the different views from the other side of the beach, before coming back full circle and finishing the trip off with some play time in a small play park. The staff enjoyed this trip as much as the children and told me that they'd had a really lovely morning 😊

We all had so much fun!
