Smiles Day Nursery Sapcote

This morning we all participated in drama tots. Today’s adventure was all about how amazing we are.

* We wore sweatbands and warmed up with physical activities to see how amazing our bodies are🏃🏻

* Used individual mirrors to practice pulling faces for different emotions (happy, sad, scared, angry, surprised)🪞

* Discussed why we feel these emotions, accepted that all feelings are okay, and learned ways to manage them

* Learned how sleep helps our bodies grow and allows our brains to process everything we learned during the day🧠

* Sang "Twinkle, Twinkle" with the matching actions ✨

Happy International Makaton Day! 🌟👋

Our little ones have been busy learning how to sign "Good Morning" and practicing some of their favorite fruit signs today including apple 🍎 and orange 🍊!

Makaton is an amazing way to support communication, build confidence, and ensure every child has a voice. We are so proud of how quickly they are picking up new signs and sharing them with each other! ✨

Yesterday, we went for a walk to the library. It was the library’s 10th birthday! 🎉

We participated in wiggly readers 📚birthday celebrations.

We read a few different stories about birthday🎈celebrations.

We played party games of pass the parcel, musical statues🎶and musical bumps.

At the end we had a dance and were given party bags. Massive thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate!

Party Prep 🎈
Our preschoolers took complete charge of their celebration, taking on the big task of blowing up balloons. Using hand pumps took real coordination and effort. They worked their strong muscles, pumping away with great determination until every balloon was full and bright.

Hair-Raising Science 🔍
The fun didn't stop once the balloons were inflated. We turned our party prep into a hands-on physics experiment by rubbing the balloons on our hair to create static electricity. Squeals of laughter filled the room as hair stood straight up, defying gravity and sticking right to the balloons!

Our Preschool children had an exciting visit yesterday from a street sweeper van!

The driver stopped to say hello and showed the children all the rubbish collected in the back. It was a fantastic hands-on moment that sparked great conversations about keeping our environment clean, recycling, and the important jobs people do in our community.

A big thank you to our friendly street cleaner for making our morning so special!

"Yellow, Red"🟡🔴
"My favourite is mango"🥭
