Fruit salad
The children have made fruit salads this week! First, we explored fruits and vegetables and the difference between them. We then carefully prepared melon, pineapple, strawberries, banana and tangerines to add to our own fruit salad!
Fruit lollies
Fruit lollies were a perfect choice to make on our warm week in nursery A. The children used cutting skills to prepare the soft fruit and distributed them into ice lolly moulds, after calculating how much fruit we would need. After that the children practised their pouring by adding water before…
Self service snack time
Our snack table is always a favourite area of nursery. We encourage independence by children choosing their own healthy snack, taking it to a table to eat, chatting to their friends and adults in nursery and washing up their own dishes afterwards.
