This week, we are exploring the topic of pets. We enjoyed reading a story about dogs and took part in a sensory activity where the children were able to feel and explore toy dogs of different sizes and textures.

We were also delighted to welcome Walter, the lovely therapy dog this morning. The children enjoyed gently stroking him and interacting with him, and Walter was very happy to receive treats from the children's hands.
