Red Nose Day
Last week we were cooking up a storm here at Bournemouth Day Nursery. As part of their home learning, Lansdowne Road’s Foundation class created their own recipes, which they then cooked at nursery - with delicious results!

At Lansdowne Road, the Under 2s explored a sensory messy tray, finding hidden animal pictures & later listened to their favour

Our Under 2s class painted a beautiful blue aeroplane, whilst our 1-2-3s & Pre-school classes made some big red & yellow buses, which incorporated a range of different materials from pom-poms & glitter to photos of their own friends & family happily riding the bus. They also created
