Today we had a fascinating time with Tim from Gribbly bugs. He has shown us the butterfly cycle and lots of creepy crawlies. We ha e been counting their legs, watching them move and listening to the sounds they make. We have carefully touched them and if we were brave held them in our hands. He showed us caterpillar eggs, caterpillars, a butterfly, a stick insect, a cockroach, a millepede and a spice.

Talk about them at home. Which one did you like best? Can you find any mini beasts in your garden or in the park?

This week we have had an amazing time at the farm finding out about all the different animals. We have enjoyed feeding them and holding the chicks.

The children have been excited to talk about how they celebrated at home.

Eid Mubarak to all the families who have been celebrating this week.

We had an amazing time wizzing around the soft play the children certainly had a good work out and were all not and thirsty afterwards.

Have fun keeping fit over the holiday.

Today we have been exercising our bodies on our bikes and scooter. We have enjoyed wizzing about making sure we don’t bump into our friends. We have been learning about how our heart gets faster, we take deep breaths and we start to feel warm when we exercise. It’s really important to keep our bodies healthy.

Try and do some exercise everyday at home. Run up the stairs, play in the garden, go to the park, walk to school, Have fun keeping fit.

Draw a picture of you exercising at home and bring it into nursery.

This week we have started athletics in PE. We are training to work as a team and to take turns. This week we are balancing quoits on our heads as we walk.

P.E is outside every week now so make sure you have your trainers and a warm coat on cold days.

This week we have been learning about why keeping clean is important and helps us keep healthy. We had great fun with glowing germs and trying to wash them off. Many of the children had to keep going back to wash their hands again. We’ve found out how many children like having a bath or a shower.

Remember to wash your hands:-

When you have been to the toilet

When you are going to eat.

When you have coughed or sneezed.

When you have been playing with pets.

It was great to see so many parents join us to decorate Easter hats and enjoy looking at the children’s progress in their learning journals.
