✨📚 World Book Day at Playbox! .. .. What a wonderful day we had celebrating World Book Day here at Playbox! .. The team really embraced the day with some fantastic costumes, including Little Red Riding Hood, The Hungry Caterpillar and Lightning McQueen, helping to bring some well-loved stories to life for the children. .. Throughout the day we explored many different stories, linking them to a range of engaging activities and play experiences that sparked the children’s curiosity and imagination. .. The children especially enjoyed listening to the story of Little Red Riding Hood read in Spanish, giving them the opportunity to hear another language and explore storytelling in a different way. .. Our story adventures also continued outdoors in our forest garden, where the children went on their very own Bear Hunt and searched the woodland for the Gruffalo, using their imagination as they explored the natural environment. .. These experiences support the EYFS by developing: .. 📖 Communication and Language – listening to stories, learning new words and hearing different languages .. 🌿 Understanding the World – exploring nature and the outdoor environment .. 🎭 Expressive Arts and Design – dressing up, imaginative play and storytelling .. 🤝 Personal, Social and Emotional Development – sharing stories and experiences together .. A fantastic day filled with stories, imagination, creativity and outdoor adventure! 📚🌳✨ .. #WorldBookDay #Playbox #EYFS #LearningThroughPlay #learningthroughnature

What a difference! ✨ .. .. After another productive half term, we have our beautiful new flooring. .. .. Natural-looking floors in early years settings offer several benefits, including a cleaner, healthier environment for children, promotion of physical development, and a connection to nature. .. .. Furthermore, natural floors encourage floor play, which is crucial for developing gross motor skills, balance, and sensory awareness. .. .. #earlyyearssetting #hyggevibes #playbox #eyfs #naturalresources #ethos #playboxnursery #letthemexplore #letthembelittle #earlyyears
