Everything we get up to – activities, learning and play
After the excitement of the badge presentation last week, this week’s swimming lesson was the last of the ‘term’. That means the toddlers get to choose their favourite activities and games to do in the latter part of the lesson….
Last week, N’s class were given their first swimming badges. All except one in the class had managed to achieve their Stage 1 swimming badge and certificate (she doesn’t come to many of the lessons so had missed the weeks…
I’m loving our 300 picture book challenge, as there’s just so many books to discover and enjoy. It’s also great to get one on one time with N to sit together rather than doing other things as he plays. I…

I’m a big fan of books and always had my nose in a book when I was a child, so when the opportunity arose to do a shop for Collective Bias® and their client all about our favourite books, I…
I had thought that we hadn’t read much this week, but we’ve not done too badly in the picture book challenge. Not for want of trying to read more, but I think having had a birthday, it means that N’s…
