Our Jolly Secret Mission
We love a secret mission and whilst outside Free-Flow have been excellent explorers and they’ve been on a few!! This Jolly team had to find the hidden ladybirds, save the princesses, do a hoola and they even had to race to the aeroplane… Oh….and then they had to spot the giant giraffe inside too. It …
You are my sunshine
Inspired by the glorious weather that we’d been having at the time (and also linked to her children’s current fascination with all things space themed!) Laura set up a creative learning opportunity whereby her children could develop their fine motor skills to create their very own sunshine masterpiece. This activity was messy, but yet not …
Meeting in the middle!!
Fiona, as a closely observing practitioner on hand to offer support and assistance as required, wondered how this was going to play out as both girls went up the log steps… they got to the top, said ‘Hi!’ and went back down again!

Getting Stuck In!!!
Fiona was busy sat updating her children’s memories books when one little one came up to her, sat on her lap, started looking at all her photographs, before picking up the glue stick and, after some careful modelling and demonstration by Fiona, she was soon busy sticking them into her book… Our older children love …
Hello… Hello!!
We love it when our children imagine another object to be something else that they’d much prefer it to be. Imagination shone through here as the block became a phone and then it was cue nearby Jolly grownup to scaffold and extend as a wonderful conversation ensued… they didn’t have a block to hand, but …
