This week our classroom Penguin went for its first weekend adventure! 🐧 Poppy had lots of fun with one of the group's family and visited new places.
In the gym we have tried balancing on a foam roll, it was so tricky! 🤸🏽♀️ Indoors, we have been enjoying the Hopscotch game. We also created flowers to decorate the classroom 🌸.
To start international weeks, we enjoyed a Spanish traditional snack, "torrijas". It was so sweet 😋.
