As we are always trying to make our nursery a happy place to be… we are currently learning that our behaviour can have an effect on those around us. To help us, we will be meeting some characters over the next few weeks who will help to remind us of some of the positive behaviour that we can try to display and keep our nursery and everyone in it happy, happy, happy!

This week we met Zelda Zebra who learns how important it is to be gentle around her friends and family. Zelda has been playing around the nursery spotting boys and girls who are being gentle with others and gentle with toys.

The children have been discovering all about the Chinese New Year celebrations and customs leading up to Chinese New Year on Monday. They have learned that it is the year of the Monkey and have been singing and dancing along with their lucky Chinese Dragon to music and songs to celebrate the festivities. On Monday they were able to sample different foods from the Chinese culture, they made beautiful Chinese lanterns for decoration and there was even some fun sensory play with noodles and chop sticks! Take a look at all of the fun we have had learning about other cultures and customs…
