Dear Parents and Carers of our Worcester Park, Kingston and Stoneleigh Nurseries,
We hope everyone enjoyed the month of July, it has been an exciting month with the World Cup and such hot weather!
During July, our focus topic of the month was different climates and weather. The children have enjoyed exploring with ice and watching how quickly it melts. The children also enjoyed exploring with sensory sand play and water. The children also made flags to celebrate the world cup this month.
Our Worcester park children have had an amazing time making their own volcano and watching it erupt using baking soda and vinegar!
