✂️ Make & Create at Little Academy ✂️🎨

Our second week of Little Academys first ever term (4th March) will be all about Make & Create — giving children the freedom to explore, design and express themselves in their own unique way.

It’s not about perfect outcomes.
It’s about the process. 💛

When children cut, stick, paint, mould and experiment, they’re developing:

🔹 Fine motor control – Strengthening those little fingers for writing readiness.
🔹 Creativity & imagination – Turning ideas into something real.
🔹 Decision-making skills – Choosing colours, materials and tools independently.
🔹 Language development – Talking about what they’re making and why.
🔹 Confidence – Feeling proud of something they created themselves.

Make & Create supports key areas of the EYFS, including:
✔️ Expressive Arts & Design
✔️ Physical Development
✔️ Communication & Language
✔️ Personal, Social & Emotional Development

At Little Academy, we provide the resources…
They provide the magic. ✨

Because when children are free to create, they’re also learning to think, problem-solve and believe in their own ideas. 💛

🎊Book now for a taster session price of only £7! Sibling discounts available!

🖍Suitable for 2-5 year olds

Children’s Mental Health Week 💛

A child’s mental health is built every day — in the moments they feel listened to, supported and capable.

At Little Academy, we know that learning and wellbeing go hand in hand. When children feel emotionally safe, they’re more able to:
🧠 concentrate and engage
🗣️ communicate their needs
💛 build resilience and self-belief
🤍 form positive relationships

Through play-based learning, routine, and gentle encouragement, we support children to understand their feelings, try new things and celebrate effort — not just outcomes.

There’s no rush. No pressure to “get it right”. Just steady support, meaningful experiences and confidence growing at their own pace.

This Children’s Mental Health Week, we’re proud to nurture not just bright minds, but happy, secure little learners too 💛

👂 Did you know?

Listening skills are one of the biggest building blocks for school readiness — and they start developing long before children can sit still or follow instructions.

At Little Academy, we gently support listening skills through play-based activities like:
✨ Turn-taking games
✨ Following simple instructions
✨ Songs, stories and rhythm play
✨ Focused table-top activities

Strong listening skills help children to:
✔️ Understand instructions
✔️ Build language and communication
✔️ Develop attention and concentration
✔️ Feel confident in group settings

And the best part?
Children learn these skills naturally — through play, not pressure.

Little ears, big learning 💫

🧵 Week One at Little Academy: Threading

On 25th February, 1.30pm, little hands will be getting busy with threading — because yes, threading isn’t just for arts & crafts, it’s basically mini gym, brain training, and school prep rolled into one.

We’ve set up 6 activity trays all themed around threading, each designed to help your child develop skills across the EYFS:

• Physical Development – all those tiny finger muscles? Threading strengthens them so holding a pencil later won’t feel like lifting Thor’s hammer. 💪✏️

• Hand–Eye Coordination – threading teaches kids to guide their hands to do what their eyes see. Perfect prep for cutting, writing, and dodging rogue Lego pieces at home. 👀✂️

• Concentration & Perseverance – threading takes patience (and sometimes a few “just one more try, I promise!” moments). Great for learning to stick with tricky tasks.

• Problem-Solving & Independence – figuring out how to get that thread through the hole? Boom. Mini problem-solving session done. 🧠

• Early Writing Foundations – all that hand practice? Makes pencil grip and writing letters later feel way less terrifying.

And just when they think they’ve conquered threading, we finish with a leader-led Mystery Box activity — because curiosity, listening, turn-taking, and teamwork are also totally essential school skills.

Little Academy is perfect for parents who want more than just play — intentional, EYFS-linked learning in a warm, supportive (and slightly silly) environment.
