Hi everyone! Naadir is exactly the same and frequently asks when he is going back to nursery so he can share his experiences with all his friends. Today we made a ball pit he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He misses all the staff and Steph too xx

Mariyah's magical painting idea

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all having a fantastic time at home. I saw this idea online and thought I would try it out with my niece. She really enjoyed mixing colours, seeing the water turn to ice and making marks. It is an exciting messy activity. You will need an Ice cube tray, water, food colouring, lollypop sticks and paper/card.
Have fun.
I hope we see each other soon.
Love Mariyah xxx

ps if you do this activity at home please send photos to l.parkinson@stmarysblackburn.ac.uk so your pictures can be shared on here,

Hello everyone

Aliyah is missing nursey lots and wakes up every morning asking "has the coronavirus gone so I can go to nursery?!" She is missing all her friends and asks what they are doing. 

Aliyah wanted to make a glitter picture for Wendy today and she also made the milk bottle elephant. Thanks for the idea! 

Hope everyone is well! X
