Country of the Month, July 2023 - Greece During June, we have been exploring Spain as our Country of the Month. Manuela has been teaching the children words and songs in Spanish and Flamenco dancing! The children have cooked some traditional Spanish dishes, such as patatas bravas and gazpacho, as well as celebrating the ‘Tomatina Festival’! Throughout July, we will be exploring Greece as our Country of the Month. We will be exploring Ancient Greece as well as other Greek traditions and customs. Oli and Kim will also be preparing a Greek inspired menu for the children to try! If you have any resources, such as holiday photos that will support the children’s learning, we would be most grateful if you could share these with us.

Leavers Trip to Stockeld Park All the staff and children enjoyed our trip to Stockeld Park. The teachers were so impressed with the children's listening skills and behaviour! Despite the initial wet weather, we had a blast exploring the Enchanted Forest, climbing and racing through the inflatables, riding the tractors, playing in the playgrounds and getting lost (temporarily) in the maze.

Eid al-Adha Celebrations! We had lots of fun celebrating Eid al-Adha! We took part in lots of craft activities making moon and star pictures, as well as making our prayer mats.
