Gold Community Partnership Surestart

🌟 Maghera Developmental Programme for 2–3 Year Olds 🌟

🌈The children thoroughly enjoyed lots of free play opportunities, helping to spark their imagination, creativity, and social skills🌺. Some of our little ones became caring doctors🩺, while others worked together to build impressively tall towers! 🏗️

📚Our bookshelf also got a lovely restock, and the children loved exploring the new stories and getting lost in their favourite books ✨

At snack time, we had a very exciting surprise — a huge watermelon! 🍉 Some children tested their muscles by trying to lift it 💪, while everyone waited patiently to see what it looked like once it was cut open 🤔. Many of the children were very brave and enjoyed tasting the juicy watermelon for the first time!

A wonderful time together full of learning, sharing, exploring, and smiles 💛

✨ Creative Play Fun at Ardboe Developmental Programme for 2-3 Year olds! ✨

The children have been loving their creative play this week! 🎨 We’ve been exploring colours in the tuff spot—mixing, blending, and discovering what new shades we can create. It’s been wonderful to watch their curiosity and imagination come to life! 🌈

They’ve also been busy mark-making with chalk and taking turns using spray bottles to clean their slate 💦—building those important early writing skills while having lots of fun!

Our role play has been developing beautifully too, with the children enjoying “bathing the babies” 👶🛁. This kind of play supports their communication, social skills, and understanding of the world around them ❤️

And of course, we’ve been getting outside for some fresh air and movement 🏃‍♂️—helping to build strong bodies and happy minds! 🌿
