More crazy, amazing interpretations of fireworks and their brilliant colours…
Crazy foam and gloop were the chosen materials to explore in this time and both enabled colours to mix in the most exciting sensory way! Some children preferred to use utensils (paintbrushes and lollipop sticks created great ‘sparklers’) but some simply wanted to get both hands stuck in and make the fireworks light up the …
What did you do at work today?!
We bet you didn’t have your ‘face painted’ in an excellently imaginative way as you were transformed into a ‘monster’ like Imogen was?! We just love our children’s creativity and the imagination they show as they utilise the toys and resources from around their room!! xxxx

Many of the invitations to play set out for our children by their Jolly grownups last week had a Hallowe’en inspired focus, because, as this exciting evening draws ever closer, it is very much on our children’s minds and we always strive to follow their interests!! We frequently overhear them excitedly talking about how they …
Who Ya Gonna Call?!?!
Turns out we know exactly who to call… Free-Flow revealed themselves to be excellent Ghostbusters today… They hunted high and low and raced and chased until they spotted all the ghosts hidden in our outdoor area by Brooke and Imogen!! Xxxx
