We would like to say hello to all our Newport nursery families and we hope to see you all very soon.

In this weeks blog we thought it would be great to focus on Play on Pedals at home. The weather has been mild and we are now getting some much needed sunshine so let’s put on our helmets and get some fresh air.

Riding a bicycle or balance bike is a great way to get exercise and have lots of fun. Mums, dads, brothers and sisters can join in with their bicycles and maybe even learn some new moves too!  Play on Pedals or POP for short, also links in with our learning outcomes in the children’s PLJ’S. There are a variety of themes and we will be sharing some with you today.

We would like to share some ideas from Play on Pedals that you can use to help your child with their hand eye coordination, balance and confidence. These themes include control and steering, balance and control, pedalling, helmet heads and saddle me up.

 

 

 

Here are some songs that you can join in and sing along with.

Ellie and her Mum surprised Mrs Kay.  Mrs Kay was delighted!

Mrs Laing was happy to meet Annabelle and her family who were out for a walk.  Annabelle has been learning to draw people.  What a fabulous achievement!
