Flying Start @ Helston Visit Their Local Bakery!
The toddler department at Flying Start @ Helston have been getting out and about in their local community, and this week they went to their local bakery!
They walked into town, and went into the bakery, where they looked at all the pretty decorated cakes and yummy warm breads, and spoke to the kind bakery staff!
They talked all about how it links to their current theme book of ‘The Magical Train Ride’, where they enter the land of cakes!
For being so well-behaved on their trip, they even got some cookies to enjoy back at nursery… delicious!

They all took it in turn and shouted words of encouragement to their friends as they climbed!
What a lovely morning spent within the community and in the fresh air!

And there was even a little baby donkey who was only a few weeks old!

And the science fun didn’t stop there…with the help of staff and parents who were joining in, they also created a volcanic explosion in a sand tray – wow!!
A huge thank you to the parents who came in to help with all the science exploration too!

Flying Start @ Saltash Babies & Toddlers Get Creative With Mark-Making!
The babies and toddlers at Flying Start @ Saltash have been getting super creative, doing mark-making with a range of different materials!
They’ve been making marks using their hands covered in colourful paint…
Then they used brushes, sponges, and rollers in the paint too!
They’ve also used chalks to draw lines and patterns… and then water and brushes to paint strokes with over the chalk!
Some great exploring through art and mark-making!
