Golden Mile

The children at East Hoathly braved the cold

weather for another round of the Golden Mile

this week. Their stamina and resilience are

constantly increasing and the children are

running more and more laps

around the playground.

Well done and keep up the

hard work!

Breakfast Club This week, the children in Breakfast Club made

a healthy fruit salad for breakfast! The

children are also enjoying the

brown bread toast!

Thank you Miss Hillier for

running such an exciting

breakfast club!

KS2 Fruit You may have seen in the news recently the

Change4Life campaign which aims to cut down

sugar intake in children.

There are many benefits to eating fruit at

break times, including extra vitamins to fight

off those germs!

Please ensure that if your child has a snack at

break time, it is a piece of fruit.

You can visit the Change4Life website for more

information.

Nursery News

This week, we have been looking at which foods are healthy. As part of this, we

have looked at and shared different foods at snack time.

To help our maths skills, we have been learning a new song about numbers

which helps us count to 10 and back again.

All the children have had fun exploring the garden this week and have noticed

lots of changes to the garden. We would like to say a big thank you to all the

families that joined us for Ground Force on Saturday, we achieved so much in

such a short time!

Home Learning

Here are a couple of songs that we have been learning in nursery, we thought it

would be nice for the children to share them at home.

We are working hard in nursery to learn our letter sounds. Here is a link you

can use at home to help with the letter sounds. These are the letter sounds

children need, before they start blending words together in Reception.
