This week we have been looking at 'Our bodies' from eating healthy, looking after our teeth, exercising and keeping ourselves safe.

The children have had so much fun taking part in cheer leading and multi sports with BTCA and learning some new words in Spanish with Kidslingo.

We break up for half term today and we welcome children back to Pre-school on Monday the 1st of June.

Have a fantastic half term break!

We had visits from BTCA where the children joined in with cheer and sports, theatre train also visited us and we went on yet more adventures.
