This week we celebrated one of our lovely grown-ups as she prepares for the exciting arrival of her baby. The children were thrilled to join in with some fun baby-themed games and enjoyed being part of such a special occasion.

Before the celebrations began, we had a very special visitor to meet! The amazing team from Newcastle Cat and Dog Shelter brought along the beautiful Raven to spend some time with us.

Raven was so excited to see all the new faces, and both the children and adults were eager to give her plenty of gentle pets and attention. It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to learn more about caring for animals and to enjoy some very special cuddles.

Everyone got involved in the baby games, and one of the favourites was trying to cut a piece of ribbon to the correct length to fit perfectly around our grown-up’s baby bump.

The children and their older friends carefully guessed and measured before making their cuts. We ended up with lots of different lengths, some were too small, some were too big but a few were just right! There were lots of giggles as we compared the ribbons and discovered who had guessed closest.

It was a lovely way to build excitement for the new arrival while encouraging measuring, estimating and teamwork. A fun challenge for everyone involved! 💛🎀
