What a wonderful week it has been! 🌟 The children have been full of smiles and laughter as they explored teddy-themed activities, sang along with our new songs (with Makaton signs too!), and joined in with sensory play, outdoor fun, and lots of teddy bear adventures.
Every morning began with our sensory circuits — from bouncing on the trampoline and peanut ball to exploring our sensory smell table. One child had us all smiling as they scrunched their face and described the onion as “yucky,” making little noises to show their feelings, then compared it to their yummy bread roll with a big grin and a clear “yum!” 🧅➡️🥖😊 Moments like these show just how much the children are connecting, expressing themselves, and having fun while learning.
A real favourite of the week was the Teddy Bear Hokey Pokey dance 🐻🎶 — the children loved moving their own bears to the actions! Their eyes lit up, big smiles spread across their faces, and we saw more gestures and voices than ever as they asked for “again!” 💖
Outdoors, the children showed so much curiosity and joy — from digging in wet sand and walking towards the outdoor tap to gesture for more water, to trying out a balance bike for the very first time 🚲. These moments are not only fun, but also wonderful opportunities to build communication, confidence, and motor skills. 🌳✨
From story time with Where’s My Teddy? to creative bear crafts, every activity this week has been full of learning and discovery. It’s such a joy to see the children’s skills developing and their personalities shining through each day. 💛
Here’s to more fun, growth, and happy memories next week! ❤️
