NURSERY

A massive thank you to Sophie's mum whom is a nurse and demonstrated to the children the recovery position. The children have been practising on the teachers.

This week we will be looking at The fire services, how to spot a fire, what to do, what not to do. We will be practising our own fire drill at school, to help the new children in the event of an evacuation.

During our music and movement sessions we will be playing listening games of STOP, DROP and ROLL.

Please continuing putting your observations on Tapestry so we may share them with the children.

In Reception this week we will be learning how to be taking away. We will be look at what happens to a number when to take a certain amount away.
