We are very lucky at Antonine to have the opportunity to explore our fairy garden. The children loved going on a bear hunt, swinging from trees and having snack together in the woods. We are looking forward to our next adventure. 💛

A lovely morning exploring the fairy garden! We developed an awareness of the world around us, through climbing investigating and retelling familiar stories, sparking curiosity through play.
"that's the gruffallos house" Our children show nurture towards others, " don't be scared I can help you"

A small group of children explored feelings and emotions through STEM. The activity encouraged self-awareness and emotional literacy in a fun and engaging way. “ I feel happy when I get cuddles from AM” All children who choose to explore were confident at talking in small group gathering.
