Playgroup News
Once the spring sunshine decides to return, it will be the perfect time to explore some playgrounds. Check out some of our favourites below...
It’s been another fun fortnight at Playgroup! The children have enjoyed a variety of play experiences - exploring playdough, caring for the dolls, building with Duplo, and cooking up imaginative meals in the play kitchen.
Our painting and printing activities were full of colour and creativity, and the cotton sand was a big hit for sensory play. We’ve also loved gathering together for story time, sharing books that bring everyone together.
It’s been wonderful seeing the children play, share and learn side-by-side.
