Transition children have been learning about winter foods, and their importance for life. They have been busy discussing winter root vegetables, their colours, shapes, textures and smells, and have done some printing with them. Bird feeders have been created to help the wildlife in our Nursery garden and we look forward to seeing different birds enjoying these.

Reminders

Please return your sessions sheets for your summer term requirements as soon as possible. The staff may have put this in your child’s bag so do check there for the sheet.

Wednesday afternoon Cold Cookery activity will be making triangular sandwiches with wholemeal bread, cream cheese and marmite. As always we will have a list of ingredients if you wish to check for allergens.

Please name all jumpers, footwear and outside clothing and check that names are still visible. We go outside everyday so that clothes are on and off and easily mixed up. Some parents ask us about going out when it is cold and our response is that if a child has appropriate clothing there is no problem and the cold has the added bonus of helping to halt the spread of germs.

Please avoid using your phones when coming in to the Nursery garden and collecting your children.
