FIRE!!! Mrs Nicholls got us out practicing a fire drill. Making sure all our minis were safe and understood the importance of getting out quickly... and the importance of remembering where your shoes are 😂😂😂 Great work our little minis you smashed the fire drill! #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears
Had to stop to specifically pick it up... almost tripped miss wardman up but it was so worth it! To be given a dandelion by a child is to be thought of ❤️ That child paused for you. They saw the bright yellow & thought of you 💛 They took the time to pluck it for you. They beam as they hand it to you. The thought crossed their mind that this flower would make you happy. & they did all of that because they love you. What a beautiful gift to be given a dandelion by a child 🌼❤️ #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears
It's child care provider appreciation day! And Miss wardman just wanted to take a minute to thank all the ladies at openwoodgate preschool for the hard work they do 🥰 couldn't ask for a better work family x Miss kemp for being the best boss lady EVER! Be completely lost without you. Mrs Wardle and Mrs Bestwick for being absolutely brilliant SENCO and working none stop to complete everything. Mrs Nicholls for being a truly magnificent health and safety boss (even is she does want to do a fire drill on a Friday! 🤣) Mrs Nightingale for being absolutely EPIC! And jumping straight into our team. Mrs Pickering you just rock! You do so much behind the scenes we would be lost without you! And our lovely Miss Laura who drops everything to come and cover for us 😁 Our minis love each and everyone of you! Behind every smiling child is a caring and dedicated child care provider 😁 So to all of the deserving childcare providers and teachers….YOU ARE APPRECIATED! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears #childcareprovider #childcareprofessional
Frog Pond Life Cycle 🐸 We’ve had some glorious weather this week, which has given us the perfect excuse to spend some time in the garden exploring frog life cycles, inspired by @twinklresources story book - The Perfect Ribbit. Flo spent some time debating the difference between a tadpole and froglet, before ordering the life cycle perfectly using our @insectlore life cycle figures. She also used a magnifying glass to discover and discuss key features, she spoke about the texture of their skin, how their feet are webbed and proudly, that frogs are amphibians. We finished off our froggy themed afternoon, by sharing the book together at bedtime! #sensorywithflorenceandbrody #toddlerplayideas #childdevelopment #learningthroughplay #eyfs #invitationtoplay #earlylearning #playbasedlearning #shallweplaytoday #letsplaytheirway #invitationtocreatelearngrow #findlearninginplay #sensoryplay #simplynatureplay #playtobloom #bookishplay #bookishbingo #looseparts #mycolourfulplay #weplayspring #ourlittlemessyhands #abcsensoryplay

We've had some sun safe superstars today! We looked out our new book "George the sun safe superstar" and talked about the importance of suncream and protecting ourselves from "the mean invisible UV!"

And so began another day of "fingers crossed and pray they grow!" Our rising 4s have just begun a sunflower seed and each week we're going to document what happens. We talked about what our seeds needed to be big and strong and hopefully how tall they will grow! (Height ranged from "as big as me!", "bigger then a snail" and "all the way into the clouds!" 🥰😁😂 #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears RHS Campaign for School Gardening RHS - Royal Horticultural Society

What's happening next week at preschool?? Well tomorrow is Bank Holiday so there's no session but when we go back on Tuesday we're jumping straight into it with our school themed role play as our older minis now all know which school their going too 😢 For our small world we're running with our story of the term and creating a jungle experience complete with thick dense jungles, rocky mountains and raging waters... Now there's no specific celebration days so were just going to have tonnes of fun (like always!) Our gardening will continue to be a top priority as we wait with baited breath for something to grow... we're also going to be planting some super special seeds and Mrs Wardle has been on caterpillar watch all weekend and a big change might be happening soon... Our dance classes with Michelle will be happening on Thursday morning and Wednesday is the return of Phonics with Robot Reg Belper and Matlock Hopefully this lovely weather is staying and we can make full use of our outside areas 🥰 Enjoy your long weekend and we shall see you all Tuesday 😁 #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears
Attempting to do the everlasting wish jar - ignore the fact its in a christmas jar I couldn't find another one with a lid 🤦♀️ Fancy making a Dandelion wish jar at home? Here’s what you’ll need to make a dandelion wish jar: 🌼Dandelions that have already bloomed yellow, closed back up, and turned white – but have not opened back up yet. The head will be closed but you’ll be able to see some puffy white at the very end of it. 🌼Floral or craft wire. You want wire that is thick enough to hold a shape but thin enough that you can easily cut it with scissors or the snip portion of pliers. 🌼A couple small stones or smooth rocks 🌼A jar or other glass container #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears Hygge in the Early Years

Everybody knows that laughing feels good, but few realize how valuable these simple tools can be in improving our everyday wellness and wellbeing. And our minis bring such joy to us each and every day! Laughter cannot heal or solve anything, but it can help to heal and dissolve everything. That’s what World Laughter Day is for! It’s a day where people can relieve some stress and laugh. #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears #WorldLaughterDay
Cinco de mayo 🇲🇽 is a Mexican holiday celebrated each year on the 5th May. We spent the week making (yes actually making!) Our very own piñata 🪅 and created this coco inspired tuff tray with coloured rice which our minis helped colour Thursday 😀 Now Mrs Nicholls was been extremely brave (especially with how good our minis aim was!) Holding the piñata so each of our minis could have a go if they wanted at hitting with a big stick! Eventually we managed to break through and get the sweet treat reward at the end 😍🥰 Tree shelf from Smiles For Miles Toy's use our code OPENWOODGATE10 at checkout to get 10% off your order. #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears #cincodemayo #cincodemayo2024 #cincodemayocelebration #cincodemayoweekend @smilesformilestoys
Cinco de Mayo 🇲🇽 Anyone else with an abundance of multicoloured beads and need an excuse to make something other than yet another bracelet? Flo sat tinkering with this piñata for over an hour - she carefully thought out her colour strategies, patterns and positioning before putting each bead into place…once we had a full rainbow piñata, Flo was on a mission and decided she was going to make a beautiful white piñata next. 🪅 #sensorywithflorenceandbrody #toddlerplayideas #childdevelopment #learningthroughplay #eyfs #invitationtoplay #earlylearning #playbasedlearning #shallweplaytoday #letsplaytheirway #invitationtocreatelearngrow #findlearninginplay #sensoryplay #looseparts #mycolourfulplay #tinkertrayplaytime #recyclemeplay #recycleandplay #cardboardplay #cardboardcrafts @hellowonderful_co
Our minis have been looking at and learning all about feelings today with this simple colour monster activity and of course we had our preschool version of "thats okay" by little fish digital 🥰🥰 #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears
Well we were very honoured today to have Jamie the Mayor of Belper come in and chat to our minis all about what he does. He explained all about how he got elected and all the important jobs he has to do to make Belper a better place for us. We got a very special treat when he let our minis try on the 'necklace' which has the names of previous mayor's engraved onto the tiny plaques. And he even brought in his own story to read to us when was his book when he was little called 'tubby tin and the footies' our minis loved the while experience and we can't thank you enough Jamie for coming in and visiting us as one of your last duties as mayor before someone else takes over... you never know in 20+ year it might be one of our minis who becomes mayor (they certainly had their own opinions 😅🤣 and already had new rules they wanted to enforce) #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears #Belper #belpertown #belpercouncil

Flower Garden Coordinates 🌼🌿 This was a super fun way to explore and problem solve with our @connetix_tiles. After a short explanation and a little role modelling, Flo picked up the concept very quickly in order to locate the correct coordinate for each tile; before popping it into place.

Everything lilac 💜 With so much lilac blossoming around us, I couldn’t resist pinching a little for this evenings tray. It’s been a while since we’ve had some messy messy play - so cornflour was the first thing that came to mind. It has always been a favourite in our house, its fascinating to watch as it oozes and trickles through those little fingers…plus it’s super easy to clean up after, especially if it’s bath night! 🫧 #sensorywithflorenceandbrody #createwithcornflour #toddlerplayideas #childdevelopment #learningthroughplay #eyfs #invitationtoplay #earlylearning #playbasedlearning #shallweplaytoday #letsplaytheirway #invitationtocreatelearngrow #findlearninginplay #sensoryplay #simplynatureplay #playtobloom #mycolourfulplay #weplayspring #ourlittlemessyhands #inspiremyplaytray
Rainbows 🌈 as you might know the new 'rewilding my wanderlust' course is out and each week there's different topics to inspire and look at.. well today we decided to have a look at rainbows since our minis have been loving the paint dabbers we decided to look at the wooden rainbow for inspiration as well as learn how a rainbow is formed. Our minis created their own interpretations of the rainbows 🌈 and even went on a hunt to see if they could spot any more. #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears

After hearing about a "grasshopper" which had attached itself to one of our minis cars on the way to preschool we knew just what to turn our mathematics area into! A counting bugs activity! With sizes, leg numbers, wings, patterns and more this little activity kept us busy for a good while 😀 #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears
Playdoh 🌱 Playdoh is a wonderful, open ended resource for children’s play which is easily made with ingredients from your cupboard, you can also add items such as cookie cutters, rolling pins, flora, and materials found in nature! (Just like we have here) Playdoh is one of our most popular sensory experiences - allowing our minis imaginations to run wild! Our playdoh today was line scented and adding in some leaves and herbs alongside a foliage book, footprint stampers and a mini nest inspired our minis to talk about different animal prints, what they have seen, the scents and textures 🥰🥰 To DIY at home, you will need: - ½ cup salt - 2 tbsp cream of tartar - 1 cup plain flour - 1 cup water - Food colouring - a few drops of essential oil optional #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears
⭐️ Kite Paper Star ⭐️ We’ve had this kite paper stashed away in the cupboard unused from way back in lockdown…so after a sort out of all our crafty bits, it’s about time we used it. We started with something simple, it was fiddly and intricate for little fingers but the end result is absolutely beautiful! Flo now wants a window full of colour, so watch this space…🌈 #sensorywithflorenceandbrody #toddlerplayideas #childdevelopment #learningthroughplay #eyfs #invitationtoplay #earlylearning #playbasedlearning #shallweplaytoday #letsplaytheirway #invitationtocreatelearngrow #findlearninginplay #sensoryplay #simplynatureplay #mycolourfulplay #weplayspring #abcsensoryplay #wardolf #kitepaper
A bit of sun, some large paper, our tickit education rainbow blocks and our minis were engaged for a good part of the afternoon colour changing, watching the light come through and shine on the paper and constructing large and intricate structures. #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears @tickit_education

Spring Colour Wheel 🌷 On todays walk home from school, we looked out for and collected a variety of petals and leaves, in every shade possible. Some colours were harder to find than others, but it’ll be interesting to see how much the colours vary as we move into new seasons. 🌸🌼🌸🌼 #sensorywithflorenceandbrody #toddlerplayideas #childdevelopment #learningthroughplay #eyfs #invitationtoplay #earlylearning #playbasedlearning #shallweplaytoday #letsplaytheirway #invitationtocreatelearngrow #findlearninginplay #sensoryplay #welovespringplay #simplynatureplay #playtobloom #heuristicplay #mycolourfulplay #weplayspring #ourlittlemessyhands #abcsensoryplay #recyclemeplay #recycleandplay
Butterflies 🦋 My son has being doing the life cycle of a butterfly at school so we continued to explore the theme at home too. This @usborne_books story was perfect for explaining the life cycle in a clear and simple way for my three and five year old to understand and we matched lots of our caterpillars and butterflies to the ones we found in the book. Our @playful_little_readers flashcards were also a perfect addition! #butterflies #lifecycle #lifecycleofabutterfly #playandlearn #playandlearntoday #learningthroughplay #playbasedlearning #letsplayandlearntoday #learningathome #findlearninginplay #learnplayeveryday #exploreandplaytoday

Its world penguin day today. World Penguin Day is a celebration of the majesty of these flightless birds, so to celebrate this we created a rescue octonauts tuff tray and typically most of our penguins 🐧 had walked off... but it was ok because other animals also needed rescuing! We uses Practically Playing print outs of different penguins which inspired our minis to try and woddle like a penguin 🐧 #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears
Today it's guide dog day and we were very lucky to have 2 wonderful ladies and 2 very special dogs 🐕 Gail is a guide dog breeder and trainer who takes them from puppies and makes sure their ready to help people just like Paula who explained what her vision was like and got the children to try it - spread your fingers and link them together then hold them upto your eyes so you can just see tiny pockets of vision and that's what Paula sees. They were so good with our minis and the 2 dogs Sandy who was in the harness is currently a guide dog for Paula and Geenie is now recently retired were amazing! Both ladies explained what they do and how guide dogs helped, gave us a little demonstration and at the end even let us touch and stroke the dogs 🐕 We literally can't thank you both enough for taking the time to come and see us today, it ment so much to our minis who a little earlier in the day were practicing with small figures how guide dogs help people to cross the road. #invitationtoplay #eyfs #earlyyears #childhood #playbasedlearning #eyfsideas #allabouttheplay #findlearninginplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #openendedlearning #openendedresources #openendedmaterials #eyfs #eyfsideas #playbasedlearning #allabouttheplay #learningthroughplay #education #sharingplay #meaningfulplayideas #playlearningideas #hygge #hyggeintheearlyyears #guidedogs #guidedogsuk Guide Dogs UK

Oh dear.... the crayons quit! This morning there was a story out about "the day the crayons quit" and our jar was missing all the crayons 🖍 😢 But they left us a note... and we had to promise to draw beautiful pictures and look after the crayons before we went off on a crayon hunt around the room.
