Children at Nurserytime South Shields have taken part in a series of imaginative activities – including making beach art crowns, role play, tea parties and yoga.

They even designed their own crowns and planned their own red white and blue party – decorating their nursery with bunting, flags and balloons.

Vanathi Wenster, owner of Children Inspired by Yoga South Tyneside, said: “Our sessions are aligned with the curriculum, allowing for learning links to take place as children move their body through an interactive yoga adventure.

"It’s a brilliant way to launch a new topic and build excitement.”

Helen Coulson, nursery manager, said: “The children had a great time and the feedback from them and their parents has been brilliant.
