Over the past week children have been discovering the various ways in which they can keep themselves healthy. With the welcomed arrival of the summer sun parents/carers have taken a lead role in promoting ‘safety in the sun’ by applying sunscreen before or on arrival at nursery, this routine and the availability of sun hats within the nursery are ensuring children are now more aware of the importance of protecting themselves from the suns harmful rays.  As well as the temperatures soaring so have the energy levels of the children as they are keen to demonstrate the different ways in which they can move and challenge their bodies.   By participating in fun experiences including sticky kids, obstacle courses, play on pedals or by just simply exploring the nursery gardens the children have gained confidence and learned some new gross motor skills along the way.  During these times children have shown knowledge in how to fuel their bodies by drinking lots of water and eating healthy snacks.  This learning has been extended inside the nursery playroom as children have the opportunity to explore a range of health promoting resources including jigsaws, table top games and books.

Play on Pedals Family sessions have been a big success with a large number of carers in attendance to be part of and observe the progress that their children have achieved to date.  Children embraced the chance to show off their skills in balance, coordination, direction, special awareness and manoeuvring.

The nursery has now successfully trained three parent cycle assistants to support the delivery of the Play on Pedals programme over the forthcoming academic year.
