Brodie has been helping mum and dad to prepare meals. This has encouraged him to try new foods, especially different fruit and vegetables.
That carrot and spinach smoothie looks delicious, as does your aubergine dish. You look like you are certainly enjoying your new favourite fruit – watermelon!
After all that hard work in the kitchen, we are glad to see you are getting the chance to go out exploring.
We are lucky to be surrounded by people who help us. Over the next few weeks we are going to learn about some of the different people who help us and the jobs they do. Today we are going to focus on Medical Staff.
Doctors, nurses and other medical staff work to keep us healthy and they help us when we are hurt or unwell.

Well done, Holly! Keep up the hard work.
We hope that you had a relaxing Easter holiday, and that you have had a chance to explore some of the activities on the blog.
As always, we would like to work with our children and their families to plan and develop the learning experiences we provide to ensure they meet the children’s needs and interests.
If your child has new areas of interest you can let us know through the comments section allowing us to create ideas and activities to support and enhance those interest.
We look forward to hearing about the things your children would like to explore!
