✈️ All aboard for an adventure! 🌍🧳
We transformed the Owls Room into a bustling airport! The children immersed themselves in imaginative role play as they checked in for their flights, collected boarding passes, had their luggage scanned, presented their passports and enjoyed refreshments before take-off.
Through this exciting experience, the children developed their communication, language and social skills while exploring the world around them through play. We loved seeing their creativity, confidence and teamwork soar! 🛫💙
