🌼 Buttercup Class have had a fantastic week so far! 🌼

This week we have been focusing on developing both gross and fine motor skills, which are the building blocks for writing ✏️ and everyday activities.

Outdoors, the children have been designing and tackling obstacle courses with crates and large blocks. They loved climbing, balancing, and jumping, as well as exploring big movements, mark making with chalk and water , and other fun activities. These hands-on activities are perfect for boosting strength, balance, and coordination.

Indoors, we focused on our fine motor skills. The children practiced precise movements with paint, sand, glitter, and pencils. All great ways to improve hand control. They’ve also been practicing there cutting skills✂️ and using tweezers to pick up small objects, which really helps tiny hand muscles grow stronger.

We are so proud of how much progress each child is making 🌟. It’s wonderful to see them having so much fun while building the skills that are so important for their development. Keep up the great work, Buttercup Class 💛

🌟 EYFS Marvellous Me Hook Day! 🌟

Today we spent the whole day celebrating ourselves – our favourite things, our special interests, and everything that makes us unique and amazing! 💫

The children had so much fun sharing their favourite toys, books and hobbies with their friends. Our day was packed full of exciting activities all themed around Marvellous ME from creative crafts to fine motor fun and so much more. 🎨✨

We even ended the day in our fantastic new teepee with a calming yoga session, where we practised affirmations like “I am brave” and “I am loved.” 💕🧘

A huge thank you to all our wonderful parents for helping the children gather their favourite things – your support made the day extra special. The children had the most amazing time celebrating everything that makes them who they are. 🌈🙌

🌟 What a wonderful first day for our new Foundation children! 🌟

We are so excited to welcome all of our newest little learners into the Laceby Stanford Primary Academy family. 💙 From the moment they walked through the doors, they have shown such confidence, curiosity, and big smiles.

It has been amazing to see how beautifully they’ve settled in and are already getting the hang of classroom routines, exploring their new learning spaces, and making lots of new friends along the way. ✨

We are so proud of each and every one of them, and we can’t wait to watch them grow, learn, and shine throughout their journey at Laceby Stanford! 🌈📚
