Last Day of Health Week

The nursery children were lucky today to join in with the school children in their Shake and Wake session with Miss Dyet. The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in this activity and some children even managed to get up to the front of the stage.

The nursery children were then all active during their outdoor classroom visit around the local pond. We were lucky enough to have an extra healthy snack donated from Morrisons.

Hanzel & Gretel

This week the nursery children have been focusing on personal safety through the story of Hanzel & Gretel. This story was introduced to the children by following a trail of pebbles to the story which they enjoyed listening to. The children enjoyed listening to the story through different version on the iPad. On our outdoor classroom we left a trail of breadcrumbs for our friends to find their way back to the nursery.

Although some ducks started eating them as we dropped them.

Health Week in P1/2

On Monday we had a great start to health week.  We started the day taking part in some multisports activities and had fun practising our steps up, dribbling, throwing and rolling.  It was really fun!

We also enjoyed a visit from Lisa from Childsmile.  She brought along Dexter the Dragon to help teach us about how to brush our teeth properly.  We all got to have a turn of brushing Dexter’s teeth and know how important it is to brush our teeth twice a day.

In the afternoon, we discussed healthy and unhealthy foods and completed the healthy lunchbox competition and today we found out Caleb was the P1/2 winner!  Well done!

On Tuesday, we learned about how to save a life and what to do in an emergency.  It was really good fun and we also learned that we should all be able to say our addresses incase we ever need to tell someone.  Can you tell someone your address?

We also learned about the importance of sleep and good bedtime routines.  We learned about how much sleep lots of different animals and people need and about what we can do to make sure we have a good sleep.

Mrs Sinclair took us to learn about yoga.  We all took part in some hungry caterpillar yoga and loved it!

On Tuesday and Friday morning Miss Dyet led our ‘Shake and Wake’ which was really good fun.  Even mums, dads, brothers, sisters and grandparents were allowed to take part!  It woke us all up in the morning!

Finally, today we went for a lovely ‘Daily Mile’ walk around Dedridge pond and some of our parents even joined us too!  It was a great health week!
