🌺 Remembrance Day – Poppy Sensory Play

This week, our little learners explored a poppy-inspired sensory activity as a gentle introduction to Remembrance Day.

Using red and black rice, colourful pots and trays, the children had opportunities to scoop, pour, fill and empty, while exploring different textures with their hands.

This hands-on experience encouraged fine motor development, colour recognition, counting and early mathematical skills through sensory exploration.

The activity also provided a gentle, age-appropriate opportunity to introduce the poppy as a symbol of remembrance and to begin exploring the importance of remembering those who have served and sacrificed.

❤️ Learning, exploring and remembering together.
