….some great flipping and catching!
The toddlers & pre-schoolers all sat down to enjoy their pancakes with a delicious topping of blueberries… yum!
Great work, Helston!
Flying Start @ Duchy Enjoy Activity Session At Sports Hall!
The preschool children enjoyed a trip to the big college sports hall where the childcare students had arranged various activities for them to take part in…
The children started with a gentle warm up and were then able to join in with ball games, running and moving their bodies in various ways, bean bags and aiming and much, much more!
Thank you to the Duchy College students for providing a fun session for the children – great fun was had by all! Another great way that we work in partnership with the college & their students!
Flying Start @ Saltash Visit The Fire Station!
The toddler and preschool children at Flying Start @ Saltash went on a very special trip to the local fire station!
The children all got to dress up as firefighters in all their protective clothing – which they had mini versions of for the children!
They then got to sit in the huge red fire enging, where they listened to the siren and watched the lights flash – which the firefighters explained was for when there is an emergency and they have to drive fast to get there.
And then… the children even got to have a go with the huge hose pipes that the firefighters use to put out the flames!
The firefighters do an amazing job to keep us all safe, and the children had an amazing visit to the fire station… a HUGE thank you to the local fire service for such an informative & exciting visit!
Flying Start @ Duchy Visit College For Play Session!
The toddler department have been on a fun trip onto the college campus, to visit the childcare department for a play session!
The students had set up lots of activities around health care routines including painting with toothbrushes, hand washing and a home role play.
The children were very enthusiastic at joining in with these activities and all joined in a song session to finish the visit!
Thanks for the great visit Duchy College – such a great chance to work together!
Flying Start @ Saltash Pre-School Go On A Potato Hunt!
The pre-schoolers at Flying Start @ Saltash have been exploring the outdoors, and they got out all their gardening tools, and then they went on a hunt to see what they could find…
They found some different sized potatoes in the soil!
Then they had a go a swinging in the tree!
The children had great fun exploring in the mud, and getting stuck right in!
Afterwards, they washed all the gardening equipment before going inside to wash their hands, and chatting excitedly about what they had found!
Flying Start @ Helston Make Space Rockets & Aliens!
The staff at Flying Start @ Helston are really proud of how many home packs have come back into nursery!
The children used their imaginations and came up with ideas to make a space rocket or an alien out of things from t heir home and the stuff provided.
The children have enjoyed showing them off and them being put on the display for all to see!
Once they had arrived at the farm, the farmer took them into the milking parlour where they waited for the cow to come in to be milked. The farmer showed the children the equipment that he would use to milk the cow as well as how to do it by hand – and the cow stood very still whilst he did this!
Once the cow had been milked, the children were allowed to have a look at the milk that was produced as well as the food that they eat.
They then got to meet the cow and stroke her before going to where they sleep and eat their food!
Flying Start @ Saltash Pre-School Do Woodwork!
The pre-schoolers at Flying Start @ Saltash have been taking part in special woodwork sessions recently, using their nursery woodwork kit!
The children all listened really carefully and followed instructions, they all wore their special protective clothing, and used the tools safely.
They hammered innails in to the wood and then wrapped wool around it to decorate – and they were very proud of their masterpieces!
Look at the amazing concentration on their faces !
Flying Start @ Duchy Toddlers Get Messy With Paint!
The toddlers at Flying Start @ Duchy have been getting stuck in and creative, with brightly coloured paints!
The staff made up lots of colours of paint so that all of the children had a colour each…
And once they had their aprons on, the toddlers were let loose with the paint in the tuff spot!
The children made lots of different marks and created some colourful artwork! Chatting about what they were painting, they said tractors, family members, and pets!
The children had great fun & were completely stuck into the activity, and were very good at swapping paints between them without the staff’s help!
Well done toddlers, beautiful art work and sharing skills!
