Goodstart Early Learning Osborne

World Sea Turtle Day was celebrated in our Nursery with an interactive tactile sensory activity, introducing these magnificent ocean creatures. This helps to bring awareness and teach important early lessons about marine conservation.

Today the children explored a fun and creative painting activity.
They dropped paint onto paper, folded it in half, and used their hands to press and spread the paint across the page. When they opened the paper, they were surprised and delighted to discover the unique patterns and colourful designs they had created. This hands-on experience encouraged creativity, sensory exploration, and self-expression through art.

We celebrated World Environment Day with the children participating in some planting. It was a valuable opportunity for them to learn about the importance of taking care of nature.
They showed a sense of responsibility and care for their environment.
They thoroughly enjoyed working alongside their peers and demonstrated great teamwork and cooperation throughout the activity.

Delicious Blueberry 🫐 Muffins 🧁, Ham and Pineapple 🍍 Pizza 🍕 and Butter Cookies 🍪 😋 for our families to finish up their working week 🥳

To celebrate African Day, the children enjoyed making Mandazi Donuts, a traditional African dish originating from Kenya.
They explored different ingredients, followed simple cooking steps, and learned about African culture through this hands-on experience.
The children were excited to taste their donuts and share in this special cultural celebration.
This experience supported children’s understanding of diversity, culture, and belonging while developing their cooking skills.

Emerging from the children's own interest, being they like to play with water and cars, we created a Toddler Car Wash for them to interact with.
Engaging in verbal and non verbal communication. the children maneuvered their vehicle's through the car wash.
The children were very excited - "my car is clean", "look at the train - it's all clean", "I washed the car too", "look at my hands", "the bus is clean now too", "my hands are all wet", "I washed all the trains".
While focusing on their fine motor skills, this activity also supported sensory exploration with bubbles, water, and different textures, as well as social and language development and turn taking with our peers.

Our families had a choice between Beef Mince Puff Pastry Pies 🥧 or the classic Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪 , freshly prepared by our amazing chef 🧑‍🍳 Jacy

Just a reminder we are closed on Monday 8th June, enjoy your long weekend 😎🎉
