Remembrance Day
To mark this special day, the Turtles created handprint poppy cards. Using bright red paint and their tiny hands, they made adorable poppy flowers, a sweet way to honour and remember.

Outdoor Adventures
While the sun is still shining and the snow hasn’t arrived, we’ve been enjoying long stroller walks, playtime at the park, and lots of fresh air and nature spotting. The Turtles love exploring outdoors before winter settles in. Outdoor play supports early development by fostering curiosity about the natural world, and helping children build social and emotional skills as they interact with their environment and each other.

In the Turtle Pond
We welcomed a new friend to the Turtle Pond named Donatello, named after the Italian sculptor! The Turtles love getting to know him, sharing smiles, giggles, and playtime together. We’re excited to watch him grow, explore, and become a special part of our little community.

As for activities, we brought back a few favourites from the past and offered them again to the Turtles. Watching the children build on what they already know and strengthen their skills has been amazing. Repetition plays a vital role in how children learn and grow, giving them the practice they need to build strong brain connections, improve motor skills, and deepen their understanding of language and concepts. Doing the same activities again boosts confidence, helps memory, and provides the comfort and security children need as they become more independent.
