What have we been doing this week? This week we have been learning about being healthy.

We have been investigating healthy and unhealthy

food items, and how to keep ourselves healthy, such as

brushing our teeth, washing our hands.

During numeracy we have been looking at different

shapes in our environment and the size, colour and

texture of some of our favourite fruit. We made a chart

of all our favourite fruits to see which fruits everyone likes

best.

The children have enjoyed retelling and recreating the

story of Handa’s surprise this week. We have also been

learning how to sequence stories by remembering the

order of events that happened when Handa went to

visit her friend. Handa’s Surprise...

Reminders.

Please be reminded that

allowed in E.Y.F.S as it is a

choking hazard.
