Our healthy food included making homous with Mrs Lavery. Everyone enjoyed squashing the chick peas. We all tasted the homous on crackers.
Thursday was a beautiful sunny day. We took our yoga music outside and had a relaxing yoga class in the sun.

On Friday 22nd April we had a Teddy Bears Picnic. The children made their own sandwiches and rice crispie buns as a treat!! It was a beautiful day. Everyone had their favourite teddy bear at the picnic. Mrs Kielt got an invitation and she was very pleased to come and have a cup of tea and a bun.
About Colour
We know our colours in Nursery. We have been using iPads in our play to reinforce our knowledge of colour. We also completed lots of practical colour activities. We read Elmer the Elephant. He is a very "colourful" character!!!
