Valentines Day, Hoots & Nursery Apprenticeships

Valentines Day

This morning our Snowy Owls Scarning have been ’sharing he love’ for Valentines Day!
The children have been taking part in an activity with Paris where with support and guidance they hunted in a valentines themed messy tray for their own name! The children then used their fine and gross motor skills to retrieve their name using tweezers!
Our older Snowy Owls were able to confidently recognise their names as they do each morning to choose and place their name on their boxes for the day!
“My name!” ”that’s a heart” “I did it” “look!”
Happy Valentines Day from Snowy Owls Scarning!
