Early Years Campus Weekly Update

🌈🌼 Adventures and Excitement Await! 🌼🌈

Dear Parents,

Last week was brimming with exciting experiences as our Nursery and Reception explorers embarked on two special trips. Here's a recap of the highlights and a glimpse into the exciting events planned for the term ahead:

🌿🦁 Lions Nature Education Centre
Our trip to the Lions Nature Education Centre was an incredible success! The children had a fantastic time exploring the various exhibition halls, immersing themselves in the wonders of nature. They learned about fascinating plants, insects, and animals, expanding their knowledge and appreciation for the natural world. The highlight of the trip was when they creatively designed and made their own nature crowns, adding to their adventure. The day was made even more memorable with a delightful picnic-style snack, creating cherished memories for all.

🏖️⛵ Sea Scouts
The Sea Scouts excursion to Clear Water Bay Beach was an absolute blast for our Reception children! They had an exciting and educational morning focused on water safety and quick response techniques. The "silly legs" exercise had them giggling and practising their entry into the sea with finesse. Building sandcastle cities became a collaborative team-building activity, fostering cooperation and creativity among the little ones. The day ended with a thrilling running game, where they showcased their agility and determination. Laughter echoed through the beach as they competed in a friendly flag-capturing challenge. It was a morning filled with laughter, learning, and unforgettable experiences.
