Last week, the children had an amazing time celebrating Neurodiversity Week! They explored a variety of engaging invitations to play, embracing different ways of thinking, learning, and expressing themselves.

Through hands-on activities, sensory play, and creative exploration, we discovered the beauty of diversity and inclusion. It was wonderful to see their curiosity, joy, and appreciation for each other’s unique strengths!

We wanted to share some photos from the week—take a look at the wonderful moments we captured.

‘Looks amazing. So much fun for the children and an important cause to celebrate!’

CIAO! The children took part in a whole week of Italian culture lead by our Italian foxes room leader Sonia!

They made Pasta and pizza from scratch and had this for their tea.

They also made play dough pizzas for their pizza oven. What a fantastic week.

Our ‘Share a Story’ sessions this week were lovely and the children loved story time with the different parents and grandparents who attended.

All our children have enjoyed listening to a range of different stories to celebrate World Book Day and as part of our sponsored listen. All children can continue to add to their listening log until Sunday 9th March and then all sponsorship money is due by Friday 14th March.

Thank you for your ongoing support and we look forward to purchasing some lovely new books!

We had the amazing opportunity again this year to hatch 20 chick eggs! They arrived in their incubator and we watched as they hatched. Once they were all yellow and fluffy the children had the opportunity to feed and care for them all for two weeks. It was EGGxcellent!

Well done to our Pre Schoolers for their amazing Nativity. We held our Nativity in the Deanes Theatre hall with over 100 family members who came to watch and what an amazing afternoon it was. Happy Christmas everyone!

We had a lovely Saturday Morning hosting our Christmas Extravaganza Fayre! We had a visit from Father Christmas, Mother Claus and the Elves. We also enjoyed seeing lots of different animals from party pets as well as playing on the Soft Play.

We also took part in Arts and crafts, biscuit making and lots of games!

Our Pre school took part in their Graduation ceremony which marks the end of their Enchanted Wood Journey and their step into Big School! We are all so proud of how far they have come and we will miss them all so much. Thank you to all of our lovely families for coming to watch, we will miss you all too! x

The children had the amazing opportunity to care for some chicks for two weeks for Easter. They were delivered to us before they hatched and all of the children were able to watch the life cycle of a chick from an egg to being born. Our Chicks were then taken back to the Happy Chick Farm. The Children held and fed our chicks over the two weeks and we all really miss them already.

Our children named our Chicks….

1. Nugget
2. Omelette
3. Chicken Little (Our smallest chick)
4. Fluffy
5. T Rex (Our biggest chick)
6. Tweety
7. Cutie
8. Pancake
9. Sunny
10. Scramble

During December our Pre school rooms held their Christmas Nativity in the Deanes School! They all performed fantastically. All Families provided consent for the parents and carers to take photos and videos during the performance so these memories can be saved forever!

We had a lovely visit from Gemma’s farm, we got to meet some sheep, chickens, ducks, a horse, a sheep dog and some rabbits! The children loved being able to talk to Gemma about how to care for each of the animals. We cannot wait for them all to visit us again!
