Crazy foam and gloop were the chosen materials to explore in this time and both enabled colours to mix in the most exciting sensory way! Some children preferred to use utensils (paintbrushes and lollipop sticks created great ‘sparklers’) but some simply wanted to get both hands stuck in and make the fireworks light up the …

We frequently overhear them excitedly talking about how they …
Who Ya Gonna Call?!?!
Turns out we know exactly who to call… Free-Flow revealed themselves to be excellent Ghostbusters today… They hunted high and low and raced and chased until they spotted all the ghosts hidden in our outdoor area by Brooke and Imogen!! Xxxx
