This morning lots of children are showing they are understanding and following our nursery hygiene routine. Washing there hands before snack and brushing their teeth when they have finished. Good recognition of their own toothbrush by using their own pictures as a guide.

In the sand a group of children continued to show interest in food which is our learning wall interest. Making a birthday cake in the sand. We looked up a recipe in a book, developing out literacy skills and used our imaginations to decorate our cakes 🎂 using natural loose parts, shells and pine cones.
