Children 1st @ St Peter and St Paul enjoyed taking part in the National Day Nursery Association's 'Healthy Body, Happy Me' week, and had great fun milking their very own cow!

Moosday Tuesday is all about how milk helps us to grown strong, healthy bones and teeth, and where milk comes from. Our children really enjoyed milking our specially made cow!

The NDNA launched Healthy Body, Happy Me in 2007, a week-long event dedicated to showing children how important it is to live a healthy lifestyle.

Other days of the week include Musical Mondays to get children singing and dancing, Wheelie Wednesdays which tell us about road safety, Happy Hand-day to learn about good hygiene and handwashing, Family Fridays to encourage families to get active together, and a Wacky Weekend which has lots of crazy craft activities. It's a whole week of fun which all of Children 1st nurseries take part in! Find out more here.

Children 1st @ St Peter and St Paul were the second stop on the Children 1st Torch Relay, so with over 200 miles to go, an early start was needed to welcome Arthur, Scarlett, Xanthe and William from Children 1st @ Sheffield!

The Fire Service and Police came along to welcome Arthur and his team, and the torch was handed to Tyler from our nursery. Tyler climbed aboard the fire engine to get a good view of the crowd below which even included Snow White!

The children had a great time exploring the fire engine and were even allowed to try out the hose, which was an exciting start to a fun-filled day!

We celebrated the different nationalities of the Olympics by tasting lots of different fruits from around the world, and then did some hand-prints for our Olympic mural which looks fabulous on the wall of our nursery!

Next, we made the most of the sunshine by doing some dancing and Olympic games on our big playground, and even had time to make a pirate ship!

By the time we had done all of this we had worked up quite an appetite so we ended the day with a special tea party. It was a brilliant end to a very special day.

We really enjoyed our Olympic celebrations and being part of this exciting Children 1st event, and we will remember it every time we look at our marvellous mural!

On the 11^th May some of our Early Years children took part in our nursery council meeting. This is a good opportunity for our children to tell us what they enjoy doing at nursery and what they would like to do more of.

Today we talked about the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and asked the children for their ideas on how we could celebrate this. All of the children thought it would be a good idea to have a party outside in the garden – they just hoped that it wouldn’t rain!

Isabelle thought it would be a good idea to invite the Queen to our party so we posted an invitation to Buckingham Palace – the children are hoping she can attend.

Freddie would like a cake with the Queen on it for the party, and a big glitter sign to say that the party will be held at nursery.

Edward thought it would be good to dress as a soldier and let all the guests in to the party.

We finished off the meeting with a biscuit and a drink of juice.

Well done everyone – some brilliant ideas!!
