💙 Happy Father's Day! 💙
To celebrate Father's Day, our wonderful children had a fantastic time making their very own gingerbread men! 👨🍳🍪
From rolling the dough and using cutters to decorating their creations with icing and sweets, every child showed great enthusiasm, creativity and concentration. They were so proud of their special treats!
They also lovingly created beautiful Father's Day cards, filled with their own unique touches, to make their dads and special people smile. 💌
Thank you to all our amazing dads and father figures for your love, care and support. We hope you have a wonderful Father's Day and enjoy the thoughtful gifts your little ones made with so much love. ❤️
Happy Father's Day from all of us at The Ark Pre-school! 🌟

Today our children enjoyed a wonderful sensory play activity using water beads (Orbeez) 💧✨
They watched with excitement as the tiny beads grew bigger in water, showing great curiosity and engagement. The children used small containers to scoop, pour, and transfer the beads, helping to develop their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
We also heard lots of lovely language as the children named different colours and talked about what they were doing. It was fantastic to see them sharing, taking turns, and playing together so nicely 😊
A fun and engaging activity supporting learning through play! 💙

Today at preschool, our children enjoyed a creative and sensory activity using our Water Elves Kit! 🎨
The children carefully filled the moulds with colourful liquids, choosing their own favourite colours and mixing them to create beautiful sea creatures 🐠⭐🐙. They showed great patience while waiting for their creations to form, and were very excited to see the final results!
This activity supported:
🖐️ Fine motor skills
🎨 Creativity and colour exploration
👫 Turn-taking and sharing
😊 Confidence and independence
The children had so much fun exploring, creating, and learning together! 💙
