Our new aquaflow system. Learning through play is so much fun! Children will increase both their gross and fine motor skills together with their hand-eye coordination through actions like pouring, squirting, pumping, stirring etc. Actioning the pump was a favourite of our pre-schoolers today. Above all however, it encouraged them to use their imagination and developed lots of creative thinking which plays an important role in problem-solving and it was so much fun too.

We also baked lots of buns and our morning group invited their mam's in for tea/coffee to celebrate Mother's day. A lovely month learning through play whilst having lots of fun too.
