This week we’ve been exploring our own family histories, inspired by the story Owl Babies, which celebrates the comfort of family and belonging. The nursery children talked about the people who are important to them and how families can be the same or different over time.

Using lolly sticks, they carefully built little houses and then drew their families inside, sharing stories about parents, grandparents, and siblings. It was a lovely way to connect our learning about families in the past and present while celebrating what makes each home special.
