Water is one of our Eco topics that we are working on in nursery this session and we have been learning about the different uses of water, where it comes from and how we can save water. We took part in many water based activities during our WATER WEEK this week, including recycling, drinking, measuring, washing, watering plants and playing with water outside as well as hearing about the water cycle. We look forward to seeing your Water Surveys and Water drawings when they are returned to nursery next week when we will issue out certificates. (Emailed photos are also welcome) A big thank you to everyone who took part in these ‘Try at Home’ activities. Thanks also to Tracey the Community Champion from Tesco who worked with the children on exploring fruits that contain water and thank you to Luis’ mum who brought in baby Ryan to bath.

Thank you to everyone who donated items to the Acerdale donation there was lot’s of smiles and thank you messages shared from our visitors.
