Flying Start @ Duchy Go On Trips Into The Community!

The children and staff at Flying Start @ Duchy have been on some exciting trips into their local community recently… firstly they visited Stoke Climsland to go to their local Post Office.

They got kitted out in their new Flying Start high vis jackets, which was very exciting – as you can see from their brilliant team photos!

At the post office, they bought a copy of the most recent Cornish Times, as the nursery were in the nursery with their Flying Start 25th Birthday celebrations… the children were delighted to see their photo and the words all about their party!

The Duchy nursery pre-school children have also visited Appleby Lodge Residential Home this week… the children shared their colouring in with the residents.

Afterwards, everybody all sang together…  Some songs they all sang together and then the children showed the residents some of their favourite nursery songs, and the residents shared some songs that are their favourites!

The staff & children can’t wait to go back again soon!

Flying Start @ Duchy Toddlers Do Vegetable Printing!

The toddler department at Flying Start @ Duchy have been focusing on the nursery rhyme ‘I dig my garden’, and the staff have been using it as inspiration for lots of great activities…

͛The children have all joined in with vegetable painting … first, choosing which vegetable they would like to mark make with. This produced lots of discussion around vegetables and different foods that the children like!

Then, the children got stuck in, using brightly coloured paints & creating beautiful masterpieces!

Flying Start @ Saltash Pre-School Build A Den In The Garden!

The pre-school children at Flying Start @ Saltash have been putting their amazing Forest School skills to good use, and building a den in the nursery garden!

They carefully used the mallet to hit the pegs into the ground, and lay out a sheet, which they used string to fasten to the trees…

Wow, great Forest skills, pre-schoolers!

Flying Start @ Duchy Celebrate The Royal Wedding!

The children & staff at Flying Start @ Duchy  celebrated the Royal Wedding with a fun, packed day of themed activities!

They started by all coming to nursery dressed in Red, White and Blue…

and then for cooking club made scones ready for their afternoon tea….

The children also spent lots of time making their own crowns adding various materials and of course glitter!

And no Royal Wedding party is complete without bunting, so the children coloured in amazing Union Jack bunting, with great concentration!

And then they had a delicious afternoon tea with their freshly baked scones…delicious!

All the children are very excited that a Prince and Princess are getting married at the weekend!

Flying Start @ Duchy Do Wake Up Shake Up!

The babies and toddlers at Flying Start @ Duchy have been joining together for an invigorating wake up shake up, and circle time in the garden!

The children have been dancing and moving their bodies to some of their favourite songs that they also sing along to… they stretch and make some brilliant shapes to wake up their bodies!

Then they have been completing their circle time focusing on shapes, using some handy props!

What a great energetic way to start the day & be active!
