The children are settling back into the nursery for a new term and have been enjoying taking part in the daily activities at snack time.

In Cart Mill our snacks and meals are guided by “Setting the Table” as produced by the Care Inspectorate and we have taken the children’s learning back to basics.

“I’m cutting apple”

Some of the children have been helping to chop and prepare the fruit and vegetables for snack.

The children have been developing their fine motor skills at snack time and spreading butter on crackers.

They also demonstrate their independence by choosing and serving their own snack and pouring their chosen drink of milk or water.

Once  the children are finished eating snack they clear their dishes away, ready to play once again.

The next activity involved preparing overnight oats for tomorrow’s snack.  The ingredients included oats, soya milk and yoghurt, ground cinnamon and frozen berries.  YUMMY!
