Settling into their new rooms and starting to learn about our new surroundings. They have been practicing their walking ensuring that they are stable on their feet and being more independent in choosing their toys.

Taking part in a ‘Goldilocks and the 3 bears’ roleplay game in celebration of World Book Day. They have been using ‘crazy foam’ to make and decorate pretend cupcakes. They have also been developing their hand eye coordination when using tweezers to pick up small sensory objects.
