Eggciting Easter nests

This week we have had great fun melting chocolate to make our Easter nests. We warmed the chocolate in the microwave and watched how it changed before adding the other ingredients. We then filled our nests with a chick and egg to celebrate the new life at Easter.

What special food do you have when you are celebrating at home?

Shining brightly.

Today Horris visited us to talk about how to keep out teeth clean and healthy.

We learned about cleaning our teeth twice a day in the morning and before we go to bed.

Remember to brush them for two minutes and ask an adult to help.

We talked about eating health foods like fruit and vegetable. Saving a small sweet treat for after out tea.

It is also important to drink healthy drinks like milk and water and not fizzy or sugary drinks.

Talk about how to keep your teeth healthy at home.

Dr Dr I’m feeling poorly

Today we had a visit from the doctor. We have been talking about when we visit the doctor and the things a doctor checks. We looked a the thermometer, blood pressure machine and stethoscope. We really enjoyed listening to our friends heart beating.

Talk about any visits to the doctors or hospital at home.

Green fingers

The children enjoyed looking at a variety of seeds today in nursery. They have looked at them carefully, planted and watered them. They are able to talk about them and ask questions. They have also predicted what they think it will grow into.

Can you draw a picture of what you think they will grow into.

Happy Holi

Today we have been learning about the spring celebration of Holi where they throw coloured paint at each other as part of their celebration. We have been investigating how colours change when we mix them inside and outside at Nursery.

What happens when you mix these colours?

Spring is in the air

This week we have been walking around school looking for signs of spring and talking about the weather. We have seen leaves starting to grow as well as flowers. When we visited the pond we found frogspawn.

Talk about the signs of spring you see on your way to school.
