Weekly roundup - 17 October 2025

🌍 Habitats Week

This week, the children have continued exploring our Habitats topic. We’ve been busy matching animals to their homes and using the sand and water trays to create our own imaginative environments, including a savannah and a dinosaur swamp.

🪔 Diwali Fun

We have also been learning about Diwali and have started making our own colourful Diwa lamps. We’ll be continuing our celebrations next week with more exciting Diwali-themed activities. Wishing all families celebrating this weekend a wonderful time, please do share photos with us on tapestry.

🎼 We have enjoyed a Bee Boogie Banaza session this week, led by Crystal. This links on from a project we have partaken in over the previous couple of years to get our bodies moving in different ways, using our core muscles. All whilst having a very fun time dancing along!
