🎸💜 THANK YOU, ADAM 💜🎸

Last week, we said a very fond farewell to our wonderful Rocksteady teacher, Adam, as he moves on to an exciting new role following a well-deserved promotion. ⭐

Adam has been such a wonderful asset to Badger Hill Academy. His patience, ...encouragement and enthusiasm have helped so many of our children grow in confidence, develop their musical talents and, most importantly, have a brilliant time making music together. 🎶

We know that our Rocksteady children will really miss seeing him each week, and we were pleased to present him with a card to say a huge thank you for everything he has brought to our academy. 💜

Thankfully, Adam isn't leaving Rocksteady altogether, so we are hoping our paths will cross again in the future.

We are also delighted to welcome Alfie, who has spent the last two weeks working alongside Adam and getting to know our children. Alfie will officially take over our Rocksteady sessions from today, and we are really looking forward to having him as part of our Badger Hill family. 🎸⭐

Congratulations on your promotion, Adam. We wish you every success in your new role and hope to see you again soon. 💜🎶

🌟 This Week in Nursery: Exploring Our Feelings! 🎨💛💙🔴

What a fantastic, busy week we’ve had in Nursery! Our topic this week has been all about Feelings, centered around our focus book, The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas.

Here is a glimpse of what our little learners... have been up to:

📖 Reading & Talking About Emotions: After sharing the story of The Colour Monster, we talked about how he starts off feeling all mixed up! We explored what each color represents—yellow for happiness, blue for sadness, red for anger, green for calm, and pink for love—and shared what makes us feel each of these emotions.

🎨 Creative Collage Jars: Inspired by the book, the children created their very own "Feelings Jar" collages, carefully filling them with colors to represent their own emotions.

🌈 Color Sorting & Discovery: We had lots of fun with color-sorting activities, helping the Colour Monster organize his mixed-up emotions while practicing our counting, sorting, and vocabulary skills.

🧪 Color Mixing Explorations: Our easel and water area were transformed into colorful discovery zones! The children experimented with primary colors, making exciting discoveries as they splashed, painted, and watched new colors magically appear.

Ask your little ones at home which color monster they are feeling like today! 💚✨
