Summer Harvest
Pre-school children had a vegetable treasure hunt today! They found lots of potatoes growing in the tyres, some green beans, and tomatoes. They plan to make a potato salad for tea and will have the green beans tomorrow for lunch.
Music Wall
At Mornington House the staff have been busy upcycling and created a new Music Wall in the Twos Garden. We hope our neighbours enjoy our new music as the children explore the different sounds that they can now create.
Hedgehog
Here at the priory we have had a very special visit from a hedgehog. The children watched as he came out of a bush and explored the garden! Kerry stopped the hedgehog from going into the road and safely placed him into next door’s garden, now he comes back every day to visit us.
