Prayer and Liturgy: LOVE

For our first Prayer and Liturgy in Nursery we talked about 'Love'. We listened to the song 'God Loves Me' and each of us placed a heart of the alter to let God know that we love him and that we promise to love one another. 

Forest School: 

Today we had so much fun in our Forest School. We learnt the rules of forest school first and we were great at following them. We then collected some leaves and sticks in our own box. We then used clay and sticks to make our own hedgehog! Well done everyone! 

Phonics: Letters and Sounds

Today we had so much fun using beaters to make different sounds outside for our phonics phase 1. We used our listening ears to copy the sounds Miss Coleman made. Well done everyone!

Looking after our teeth!

We had a special visitor from the Oral Health Improvement Team who talked to us about how we can look after our teeth and why it is important. We talked about foods that are good and bad for our teeth and we learnt how to clean our teeth properly. To help look after our teeth, we brush our teeth after lunch every day in school. 

Balance bike workshop

Today, we had a visit from Ethan who taught us how to ride a balance bike. To help us stay safe and protect our head we all wore helmets. Ethan talked about different parts of the bike eg) saddle. We listened to Ethan’s instructions and followed them as best as we could. We zig zagged in and out of poles, rod up and down a ramp and rode round a circuit. We even managed to avoid obstacles, including each other! An exciting time was had by all children.
