Saturday 26 October 2024: A ghoulish gathering
It’s (almost) Halloween and as we love everything ghostly and ghoulish here at NESM, how could this month's sensory play session not have a spooky theme? We’ll be creating our own peg bats, doing some invisible writing and there will be apple bobbing too. And of course some spooky songs and terrifying tales.
Sunday 24 November 2024: Celebrating you!
Universal Children's Day falls on 20 November, so let's celebrate what makes you so wonderful and special! We’ll do a picture all about you, and think about the different and big feelings we have and ways we can handle these. We'll also have time to read a story and sing songs together about you too.
Friday 20 December 2024: Christmas cheer
Merry Christmas everyone! We're getting festive at the last sensory play session of the year. We’ll be singing Christmas songs and listening to a special story. We’ll be getting messy creating tree ornaments and Christmas cards too, and wrapping presents to put under our very own Christmas tree.
