Oral Hygiene Nurse 

To start our World of work theme we had a visit from the local oral hygiene nurse, she came to talk to us about how to keep our teeth and gums healthy., she showed us how to brush our teeth correctly and how many times we should brush our teeth. We all got to play a game of deciding which foods were healthy or unhealthy for our teeth!!

Our trip to hall hill farm

What an amazing day we had at Hall Hill Farm we had so much fun, we got to see lots of different animals such as a peacock, llamas sheep ponies, and many more. We got to experience holding the fluffy rabbits some of them were so big!! And some of us were very brave to feed the lambs they were very hungry!! We all enjoyed going on the tractor for  a ride around the farm it was so bumpy !! We had our lunch in the barn which we really enjoyed. After washing our hands making sure they were nice and clean we got the opportunity to hold the chicks it was then time for home so we all got back onto the bus we were so tired as we had such a busy day!! We would like to thank Michelle and Rosie for all their help we all enjoyed it and will be visiting again in the future.

Making bird feeders

We  have really  enjoyed  making bird feeder's  for the nature garden, we used some cheerio's which we threaded on to some string and we also worked together to mix  together some lard  with meal worm and bird seed, once we had mixed together we put the mixture into   individual yogurt pots. We are really looking forward to placing them in our nature garden. We hope the birds like them!!..

Telling the truth!!

During our circle time Nursery have been discussing why it is so important to tell the truth! We listened to the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf! we learnt we should always tell the truth in any situation! Well done Nursery on your listening skills! Stay tuned to find out what Nursery will be discussing in their next circle time.. 

Healthy Eating!

We had a special visit from the nurses they came to see us and tell us all about how to eat healthy. They showed us lots of different pictures of food and we had to guess which food was healthy or unhealthy. The nurses talked about how much  sugar was in different drinks  and in some drinks there was so much sugar!! We would like to thank the nurses for coming to  see us and learning us what food is healthy and unhealthy. We had a great morning take a look at our pictures.
