Keeping ourselves healthy

Hello everyone,

Last week in group time we enjoyed talking about all the adventures we had in the Easter holidays. Then with our key workers we drew a picture of our favourite adventure. We have enjoyed seeing the chicks and observing how they have changed. We have been drawing our self portrait for the class tea towel. We have enjoyed listening to lots of number stories and helping Julia solve some mathematical problems. We have been out on the balance bikes this week. On Tuesday morning we had our PE session with Mr Treble and we did some team races including egg and spoon, sack races and running races. 

For the next two weeks we are going to be talking and learning about how to keep ourselves healthy. This week we will be learning about how to keep ourselves sun safe, looking after our teeth and the importance of keeping ourselves clean. We will be making some poster of how to keep safe in the sun and putting them up in the outside area. We have also got some flower plants to plant in the garden and planting some pea's. On Tuesday morning we have invited our grandparents for snack. On Friday a group of children will be swimming.

Easter holidays news



Hello everyone,

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter holidays and we can't wait to hear all about the adventures you have been up to.
The chicks have grown so much and have started to develop feathers. Our flower seeds and potatoes which we have been growing in the poly tunnel have grown so much.

This week we are going to be talking about what we have been doing in the Easter holidays and mark making a picture of our favourite thing we did. It would be great if the children could bring in pictures or objects to support them with telling the group about their Easter holidays. We will also be looking after the new chicks and talking about how they have changed since before the holidays. We have got some gardening to do with planting some of flower seeds into new pots and covering up our potatoes. We are also going to be drawing our self portrait for our class tea towel. There will be a letter in the next couple of weeks with an order form attached to order tea towels. Everyone in the class will be on it.
