Flying Start @ Saltash Hold A Macmillan Coffee Event!

Flying Start @ Saltash held a Macmillan Coffee Event for parents, staff and children… Raising money for a worthwhile charity, whilst enjoying delicious cakes!

Look at this fantastic spread – and they even decorated the nursery with the Macmillan colour scheme and balloons too!

The parents had time to informally chat with the team, and get to know each other better, and the children got to play and enjoy some yummy treats too!

A great event enjoyed by all, and £40 raised for Macmillan just from their cake sale – well done Saltash, a fantastic effort!

Flying Start @ Duchy Explore Autumnal Sensory Play!

Flying Start @ Duchy’s Pre-School department have been embracing the new season, with autumn-themed sensory play… They have created an autumnal sensory tray which is full of autumn colours and objects, including pine cones, coloured rice, leaves, cinnamon sticks, and cinnamon powder!

The children have been out on lots of walks around the campus this week, and have been looking at how the environment is changing for autumn… They have been finding things like leaves, berries, and apples which have fallen from the trees.

The children have brought them back to nursery to talk all about the treasure that they’ve found, and then have explored it further by drawing observational drawings of the items!
