☀️ Throwback to Summer ☀️ Now its Autumn, we're ☀️ Throwback to Summer ☀️ 

Now its Autumn, we're reminiscing about the Great Sparkhill Summer Shake and Shape Up event, when nearly 250 people joined us in the park for a fun and healthy time in the summer sun! 🚲🚶‍♀️‍➡️

We danced, stretched, raced, made fruit skewers, cycled on the smoothie bike, planted herbs, accessed health information and took home teas made from the leaves of trees in our park! Special thanks to our amazing youth volunteers who helped run the whole event, as well as our funders. 👯‍♀️🍉🍇

🦄📚 Interactive Storytelling at School Readiness St 🦄📚 Interactive Storytelling at School Readiness Stay and Play! 🎭

Our children and families enjoyed a magical storytelling session with puppets, music and fun sound effects, including “Unicorns Are Real”! 🦄

✨ The children actively participated, showed great excitement and thoroughly enjoyed bringing the stories to life.

The session encouraged imagination, creativity, listening and communication skills. 💖

Our under-2s enjoyed storytelling (Handa surprise) and dancing to songs with African beats, families loved tasting a variety of different fruits, and the children developed their hand-eye coordination using fruit threaders and having fun poking and squeezing play dough.

Now that we're back, we'd love to give a special Half-Term Shout-Out to Lucy from our Mini Springers Nursery! 🌟

Lucy works afternoons and is the Little Buds Room leader.

The start of the term has been a busy one, with lots of children needing extra support as they settled in. 

Lucy has remained calm, positive and caring throughout, supporting every child and setting a wonderful example for her team.

Thank you, Lucy for your fantastic contribution 🎉
