Remember all the different times you need to wash your hands to wash the germs away. Make sure you are washing your hands really effectively with soap and water to make them really clean.

Success Story of the Week!

We are delighted to share a successful week in our Willow room as the children went on an exciting town journey linked to their book of the week, "The Train Ride." This engaging activity led them to discover a real train ticket, creating a tangible connection to the story's theme. They also experienced the excitement of passing through a tunnel, mirroring a scene from the book.

These experiences support Early Years Outcomes by enhancing language, literacy, and personal development, helping children understand the world around them while building confidence and curiosity. We are incredibly proud of their curiosity and eagerness to engage with their learning environment in such a proactive way.
