Flying Start @ Duchy Pre-School Go On Shopping Trip!

The pre-schoolers at Flying Start @Duchy have been enjoying going out and about on walks into the community, so they decided to go to the shop & post office. The children looked around the aisles for something that they could have for snacktime…  After much thought, they decided on beans on toast!

The children carefully counted out 3 tins of beans and selected a loaf of bread… then they each gave the money at the till and used their good manners to chat to the lady shopkeeper!

And then they counted the change looking at each coin.

They then walked back to nursery with their afternoon snack in hand! A lovely trip into their local community.

Flying Start @ Penryn Toddlers Make A Space Rocket!

In the toddler department at Flying Start @ Penryn, the children have been reading & enjoying the storybook ‘Whatever Next’ as their featured book for the half term…

Based on the story, they have been building and decorating their very own rocket!

The children absolutely loved covering the box in glue, then sticking shiny foil on it!

This was such a great activity that all the children worked as a team on…

And then they even added their bear and his helmet so they     could go to the moon!

Flying Start @ Saltash celebrate Mother’s Day!

To celebrate Mother’s Day, Flying Start @ Saltash invited all the mummies to join them for a special stay & play session!

The children were delighted to be joined by their mummies, and show them the activities!

They painted and decorated some yummy cakes, and decorated some special stones to go into the garden…

The children had also previously been making some lovely mothers day cards, dipping their hands in paint to make handprints!

Thanks to all the mummies who came along, what a lovely event!

Flying Start @ Helston Make Mothers Day Cards!

The toddler department at Flying Start @ Helston, made Mothers Day cards in preparation for Mothering Sunday, a special celebration of mummies and grannies.

Inspired by their theme ‘What the ladybird heard’, they decorated cards to look like ladybirds… which when you open their wings, have a little message inside!

They have been using paint, glue and paper to make the lady birds, and the children not only had great fun making them but also counting the number of spots on the ladybirds!

Look how brilliant the ladybird cards looked once they were finished… well done to the toddlers!

Flying Start @ Penryn Celebrate St. Piran’s Day Making Pasties!

The children at Flying Start @ Penryn were very proud to celebrate St. Piran’s Day!

The staff set up all the ingredients and equipment so that the children could make pasties…

They rolled out the dough, and put the vegetables and meat inside, before carefully sealing them up, to make their very own pasties!

The staff helped put them in the oven, and later when they had cooled, the children got to eat them & take them home.

Delicious!
