🌟 Here are some highlights from our last Summer St 🌟 Here are some highlights from our last Summer Stay & Play session! 🌟 Startwell 
 
We celebrated Raksha Bandhan by making pasta bracelets, supporting Sammy Skills and Suzy Startwell. 💕

We also explored oral health with Smiley Shen, including toothbrushing, reducing sugary foods and drinks, and visiting the dentist regularly. 🦷

Families enjoyed cheese toasties and a fun trip to the local park, with walking, parachute games, bubbles, and balls, promoting Active Azra and 180 Katie. 🌳🏃‍♀️
A fun week of learning, playing and staying active! 😊

We hope you all had a great summer 🌞

🌞 Summer Stay & Play Highlights at The Springfield 🌞 Summer Stay & Play Highlights at The Springfield Project last week 🌞 Startwell 

Last week, National Allotments Week, the European Athletics Championships, and National Plum Day gave families lots of opportunities to learn through play.

Children enjoyed growing cress, exploring a harvesting sensory box, completing obstacle courses, and taking part in plum tasting and printing activities. Parents were also introduced to 180 Katie, Fay 5 a Day, 2 Snacks Max, and Sammy Skills to support healthy eating and active play at home.
