The beginning of our new project… ‘We all have a home’ 🏡 🤍

Throwback to the beautiful weather last week! Spending time in nature, gives us a feeling of awe and wonder, like when you see a rainbow, a butterfly. We used our observational skills to notice things that made us stop.. and say, "Wow!" Take a look at our "WOW" moments.☀️😀🌼 #SAPSHW #SAPSHappy

In Nurture, we have been inspired by Froebel occupations! Using our creative and problem-solving mindsets, we’ve made some truly fantastic creations 👏

Your handprints are a story written just for you. As you grew, tiny lines began to appear. Your magical marks, no one else in the world has the same ones. We are embracing and feeling proud of who we are. Using magnifying glasses we looked at each others hands and our unique patterns. #SAPSHCI

We have been reading the story 'In My Heart' by Jo Witek. It is a lovely story with beautiful illustrations by Christine Roussey. We made our own Nurture family heart. Creating something collaboratively gives us a sense of belonging and promotes social relationships. #SAPSHW #SAPSHCI #SAPSEngaged

♥️Today we have been talking about our families. Families can look very different from each other, but are all so special! 🏡A family is two or more people, connected by a strong emotional bond. #Belonging#EmotionallySecure#SymbolicRepresentation#NurtureFamily

We’ve been using a ‘PACEful’ approach in the classroom. When children feel safe to explore their own interests and choices, they gain a stronger sense of self, feel valued, increased self-confidence and an ability to navigate the world authentically. #Relationships #PlayAcceptanceCuriosityEmpathy
