Rowing The Atlantic To Make A Difference: Supporting The Southsea Scullers

Later this year, three close friends will take on one of the most demanding endurance challenges in the world. The World’s Toughest Row crosses the Atlantic Ocean, beginning in the Canary Islands and finishing in Antigua. The Southsea Scullers will be rowing every mile themselves, sharing long days and nights at sea in a small ocean rowing boat. It is a challenge that relies on resilience, cooperation and a calm approach in changing conditions.

How Following Children’s Interests Can Spark Creativity And Learning

Every child is born curious. From the moment they reach out to touch a new object or ask their first “why?”, they’re exploring the world through their natural sense of wonder. At Fennies Nurseries, we believe this innate curiosity should be nurtured, not directed. By following children’s interests, our educators create opportunities that spark creativity, deepen understanding, and make every moment of learning truly meaningful.
