This week, our children explored healthy habits and early maths learning through play. From brushing dinosaur teeth and practising handwashing, to weighing fruit, ordering vegetables by size, and role-playing healthy food shopping with ICT, learning was practical, meaningful, and fun for all ages.

This week’s winter learning in early years focused on care, creativity and exploration. Children explored winter clothing, health routines, emotions and Arctic themes through sensory play, art, ice experiments and hands-on learning. These experiences supported the EYFS, strengthening fine motor skills, early maths, communication and understanding of the world.
