We have been learning about recycling and looking after our environment. Children collected rubbish off the local church yard.

Children brought things in from home to sort out and put into our recycling bins.

Looking at different cultures and food. We learnt how to use chopsticks.

This year the nursery did the food bank collection in December so we can ensure those celebrating Christmas have enough food during their festive session. We had such a great response from our parents and local community, we were able to help so many families with all the food we collected. The nursery also had a visit from a local reporter who did an article about the nursery on the BBC news (please see link below)
