Flying Start @ Camborne Celebrate ‘World Mental Health Day’ With A Day Full Of Activities!

Flying Start @ Camborne enjoyed a busy day full of activities focusing on their feelings and emotions, for World Mental Health Day!

The pre-school and toddler departments explored their emotions by using mirrors, to try out making faces that they might make when they are feeling happy, sad, excited or angry…

The children have been discussing altogether about what they can do when they are feeling sad or angry, and they used their Calm Down poster to get some good ideas…

The pre-school children particularly loved the idea of being a puffer fish if they are feeling angry – and taking a big breath in and blowing all the anger away! They also practised giving themselves a ‘clam cuddle’ when they needed a little reassurance…

…. Then they tried out being shy like a turtle and just popping their head out, and finally they were starfish jumping into the air for when they need to let all their energy out!

Why not have a go trying these out with your child at home!

The after school club also made badges of green ribbons to support mental health, and to show their kindness they made these thoughtful cards with a well-deserved cup of tea inside, to say thank you to the adults that care for them!

Amazing work, well done to Flying Start @ Camborne for doing so many great activities on World Mental Health Day!

Flying Start @ Camborne Hold A Macmillan Coffee Event!

Flying Start @ Camborne have been raising money for a worthwhile charity, whilst enjoying delicious cakes… The nursery held a Macmillan Coffee Event for parents, and in preparation the staff had a mini bake-off competition!

There were beautiful heart buns and an incredible unicorn cake… just look how yummy these photos look!

 

The parents had time to informally chat with the team, and get to know each other better at this social event…A great time enjoyed by all – well done Camborne!

Flying Start @ Camborne Toddlers Get Stuck Into Cooking Club!

The toddlers at Flying Start @ Camborne have been very busy with cooking club this week… They made animal biscuits, to tie in with the ‘Talking Toddlers’ animal sounds they have been practising!

As you can see, they had a great time preparing all their ingredients, mixing them together, and stirring it all up… Great cooking skills by all!

Flying Start @ Camborne Look Forward To New Term!

The staff at Flying Start @ Camborne have been busy prepping their rooms, and setting up some great activities, ready for the new term!

They are looking forward to welcoming back all the children who have been off for the summer… Albert and Agnes are ready to hear all about the children’s summer holiday stories in the cosy corner – have a look at the photo below!

The staff are prepared and ready to help all the children transitioning into new rooms, get settled and have lots of fun… Let’s go!

Flying Start @ Camborne Try Out Making Sushi!

Flying Start @ Camborne had an exciting session trying their hand at making sushi, thanks to a parent at the nursery who agreed to come in and share her skills with the children!

 

Janise’s Mum is a chef at a local takeaway, and she showed the children how to make vegetarian sushi, which is a really healthy and delicious food from Japan!

 

Janise showed her friends how she helps her Mum make them at home for their family, and all the children listened carefully to the order of the different ingredients, and then had a go at rolling them up!

They made their sushi with boiled white rice flavoured with Japanese Vinegar, which the children tasted and decided it was both a sweet and sour flavour! Then they added cucumber and carrot sticks, but Janise’s Mum also explained how they can have chicken, beef, fish or seafood sticks in them too!

 

After they had made them, the children of course got to eat them and share them with their friends – delicious!

Thank you so much to Janise’s Mum for taking time out of her week to come in and share this fascinating and delicious activity with the children!
