Winter

We have been learning about winter. We learned that when it is really cold water turns to ice and when it gets warmer it melts. We made ice paints to make pictures with. We added a little paint to some water in small paper cups and then put them in the freezer. The children thought they looked like lollipops! We also learned that because the ground is frozen it is hard for the birds to find food to eat. We found a recipe and learned how to make bird cakes which we then hung on the trees in the garden so that the birds would have something to eat. See the link below if you want to use the recipe at home.
We had great fun playing in the snow.

Teeth

Recently in the nursery we have been learning about how to clean our teeth and why we need to look after them. The Childsmile team came to the nursery to paint the children’s teeth with fluoride varnish. Fluoride varnish provides extra protection against tooth decay when used in addition to brushing. Please see link below.
