We Are Learning… ..…. To Listen to and Re-Tell the Story of Jaspers Beanstalk
To help the children understand about caring for plants and realising that they don’t grow instantly! Enjoy the story together here.
The children will be able to see a speeded up version of how beans grow in this amazing video.
In the garden will be noticing signs of spring and growing cress and sunflower seeds.
We would also like to look at baby photos with the children to help them notice how they have grown and changed. Please can you send your child’s baby photo to depspeedwelln@bristol-schools.uk.
Linked to our activities around growth and change, we will also be reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar. You can watch the story together here. The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We will be using our counting skills to find out how many items are eaten.
We would love to try lots of different fruits from all around the world and would be grateful for any donations.
Staying Safe in the Sun
The NHS recommends that care is taken to protect children in the sun. Children should:
- Cover up with suitable clothing
- Spend time in the shade, particularly from 11am to 3pm
- Wear at least SPF30 sunscreen. Apply sunscreen to areas not protected by clothing, such as the face, ears, feet and backs of hands.
Please ensure that sun cream is applied each day before nursery and that children wear appropriate clothing for the weather. We can reapply as appropriate. If you have a specific sun cream to use, please label clearly with your child’s name and pass to your key person. We have a large selection of sun hats. Please clearly name all hats brought in to nursery.
