Julie's Crew

Lovely trip to the Butterfly Farm and a play in the refurbished park at Stratford.
Children loved it and recalled the caterpillar to butterfly process.
Lots of conversations great learning experience.

The best of fun days water sprinkler mat, shallow water trays, sprays and water fights!
Hours and hours of belly laughs, screams and screech’s!

Although there’s always one that can give it but not take it!!!!!
(Yeh that’ll be me 🤣🤣🤣)

And the newest member of Julie’s Crew settling in lovely 🩵

Day 2 in the garden much cooler today with a little breeze
Water activities were a big hit.
Lots for the children to choose from again with sand play and bikes a firm favourite

Today has been a day of in and out the garden so we don’t overdo the heat and sun.
Lots of water to drink, regular suncream top ups and sun hats on heads.
We have the gazebo up so there’s always a shaded area to play or rest.

Day of paediatric first aid training practical session

Day trip to our favourite farm
So much to do and see.

Great way to end our week meeting up with our friends

3 day weekend coming up 🙌

At our childminders playgroup this morning we explored a lovely bee tray set up and did some lovely crafts working independently.
We shared a lovely new story after lunch then made flapjacks together with the children excited to use Honey knowing that it’s come from bees.
Always lots of learning from a cooking activity.
Forgot to take pic of the end result but the children enjoyed a slice for afternoon snack.

World Bee Day!
Bee hive and honeycombs tray!
Exploring texture and using language to describe how it feels, looks and smells.
