This week has been healthy living week. We have looked at how we can stay healthy, by eating things that are good for us, excercising and keeping ourselves clean.

We made fruit smoothies and talked about eating regular meals. We made toast for breakfast and did a survey of what we ate for our breakfast.  We had a wonderful sports day in the big hall. We looked at the affect of different liquids on our teeth, we used egg shell as it is very similar to our teeth. We learned the importance of brushing our teeth.

Welcome back to nursery after the Easter break.

Our topic for the first half of the summer term is 'Food Glorious Food' The children will be looking at foods that are good for them and those foods that are not so good. We will observe the effect of exercise on our bodies and why we eat certain things. Our stories will include, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, Oliver's Vegetables by by Alison Bartlett and Vivian French, Handa's Surprise by by Eileen Browne. We will look at the work of an artist who used fruit and vegetables in his paintings, Giuseppe Archimboldo. 

Welcome back!

The nursery team would like to wish you all a very happy new year and welcome you back to nursery.

This term our topic is "Animals Far and Wide". We will be looking at lots of different animals from around the world. we will look at pets, farm animals, wild animals, animals that we can see in the zoo. We will be celebrating Chinese new year on the 28th January.We will be acting out the race the animals had to see who would be first and have the Chinese new year named after them.
