Arabella's Fascinating History Lesson at Bletchley Park

Arabella has been diving into some amazing history this week with a visit to Bletchley Park, the once top-secret home of the World War Two Codebreakers. She learned all about the busy and noisy working environments where so much important work took place, but she also enjoyed a relaxing break outside, soaking up the sunshine in the beautiful gardens where many talented people had walked before.

Arabella’s favourite activity was learning Morse code—a system of communication that uses combinations of short and long tones to represent the letters of the alphabet. Her tutor mentioned that those who could hear and feel the beat and pulse, just like we do in our Rhythm Time classes, were able to learn Morse code more quickly. It was such a fantastic day!

  Arabella's Sensory Adventure at the Supermarket Arabella had a surprisingly fun and sensory-filled adventure at the supermarket today! As she entered the store, she was immediately captivated by the variety of sounds all around her. The gentle hum of the shopping carts, the beeping of the cash registers, and the chatter of people picking out their groceries created a lively symphony of everyday life. As Arabella strolled down the aisles, she delighted in the different sounds each section had to offer.

She even tried to mimic the sound with her own little “beep” as each item pass...

  Arabella's Adventures: The Magic of Baby Massage Arabella discovered something wonderful today—baby massage! Not only is it a soothing experience, but it also works wonders for her little body. Massage helps improve her blood pressure, heart rate, and circulation, keeping her healthy and calm. Touch is such an important way to communicate, especially for little babies like Arabella. It helps her feel safe and secure, reminding her of the comforting closeness and gentle rhythms she felt while inside the womb. Massaging Arabella doesn’t just help her relax; it also stimulates the release of oxytocin—the “love and bonding” hormone—helping to deepen her connection with her parents. Plus, it works magic on colic, wind, and constipation, easing discomfort. Even teething pains seem to melt away during her massage sessions! Best of all, massage promotes deeper, more restful sleep, and helps Arabella manage stress by regulating her cortisol levels. For her, baby massage is not only comfor...

Her day kicked off with a rhythmic safari drive, as the hum of the car's engine and the crunch of gravel under the wheels set a steady beat. Arabella’s heart raced in sync with the sights, from lions lounging in the sun to giraffes moving gracefully with a steady, swaying rhythm. Zebras grazed peacefully, each flick of their tails adding a quiet, soft cadence to the atmospher One of the day’s highlights was hearing the playful monkeys create a lively soundtrack of chattering and squeals, echoing through the trees like a playful tune.

She loved watching them swing from branch to branch, their movements creating a rhythm all their own. After...
