We love World book day 😊📚 .. .. A huge thank you to our amazing team, forever putting so much amazing effort into book day! Also our lovely parents…..the children looked brilliant & had such a lovely day. .. .. World Book Day has so many benefits such as increased vocabulary, heightened empathy, and improved concentration, making reading vital for children. But it also provides an opportunity for many children to own their first book, which is something special in itself. .. .. What’s your child’s favourite book? Maybe we can add it to our Little Acorns Childcare library 🤍 please comment below ⬇️ .. .. #worldbookday #eyfs #letsreadtogether #letsread #readingtime #booksbooksbooks #eyfslanguageandcommunication #socialdevelopment #letthembelittle #imagination #everyonehasastory #favouritebook #literacyplay #littleacornschildcare #nursery

Using real tools, drawing pins & natural materials…just wonderful! .. .. Hammering helps children develop the fine motor skills required to grasp nails/drawing pins and hammers. It develops the movements and hand-eye coordination needed for manipulating a hammer and the drawing pin. It also teaches children about the importance of safety and following rules. .. .. When trusting our children with tools, we’re not just boosting their self-confidence it also helps improve concentration and their understanding of the material world. You don’t truly understand why a hammer has to be heavy until you’ve swung its weight onto a nail 😀 .. .. We’d love to hear about more woodwork activities, feel free to tag in the comments….ideas, accounts 💫 .. .. #eyfswoodwork #eyfsrealtools #letthemexplore #letthembelittle #letthembelittle #letthemexplore #littleacornschildcare #woodworkideas #eyfscreativity #expressiveartsanddesign #folkestonenursery #woodworkineyfs

🌳 Days out are important for young children, they provide valuable experiences that can enrich their physical, cognitive, and mental development. .. .. Being outdoors can help children to develop an appreciation for the natural world, learn about the environment, and develop social skills. .. .. Additionally, nursery outings can increase independence, confidence, and provide young children with their first real taste of independence. .. .. Outings ignite a child’s sense of curiosity and imagination, encouraging appropriate risk-taking, social skills, and building friendships ☺️ .. .. Where do you like your take your little ones? Why not share your ‘outings’ with us 😀 .. .. #littleacornschildcare #eyfs #eyfsoutdoorslearning #nurseryoutings #triptothepark #preschool #nursery #letthembelittle #letthemexplore #grossmotorskills #motorskillsdevelopment #folkestone #sandgate

♻️ This month - Donate your jam jars to us 💫 .. .. Did you know that each UK household produces over 1 tonne of waste per year? This is the weight of a small car! It’s even more shocking that up to 60% of the waste that ends up in the bin could be recycled. So, we need to tackle this growing problem by inspiring the next generation and teaching them the importance of looking after our planet. .. .. Teaching children about recycling isn’t always the easiest thing but it’s more important than ever to educate children about environmental issues. Here at Little Acorns Childcare we are always finding ideas & thinking of ways to do our part, whilst teaching the children the importance of recycling. .. .. So we are asking for your help, we are calling out to our parents, carers & family friends to put aside certain items that would become part of our daily teaching & activities 😊 .. .. This month JANUARY we are asking you to donate any empty jam jars…maybe your pickled onions are about to run out or you’re just one spread away from using all your jam! .. .. Put them to one side & bring them into us 💫♻️ .. .. Thank you!! .. .. #eyfsrecycling #letsteachrecycling #littleacornschildcare #nursery #preschool #lethembelittle #recyling #earlyyears #recylingactivites #folkestone #hythe #sandgate #parentshelpingkids

Re Gift Mas @folkestonecommunityfridge 🎄💫🤍 .. .. Little Acorns Childcare were asked to help decorate @folkestonecommunityfridge for Christmas, we chose to do Eco decorations created by process art. The children chose any colours they liked & then squirted them into the table, they used their hands to mix & swirl the paint around! .. .. We then put paper onto the paint to transfer their colours. Paper was then cut into bauble shapes & were stuck onto recycled cardboard, with a tag that described the children’s ideas. .. .. No glitter/no tinsel/no sequins, just fully recycled. Plus a lovely exploratory, language filled activity that the children learned lots from. .. .. We are very proud to present the work of our children in the above photos 🎄☺️ .. .. Also are the details of their event this coming Saturday, please go show your support & take your child to see their hard work in all its glory 💫 .. .. #folkestonecommunityfridge #littleacornschildcare #christmas2023 #supporteachother #recyclemeplay #recycleddecorations #doyourpart #bettertogether #eyfs #eyfsideas #folkestone
