22 Street Lane Nursery - February 2019 Newsletter

NEWS February Newsletter Parent Mini First Aid Class Our first parent Mini First Aid class was a huge success and we hope that those of you attended found it beneficial or will do in the future as we never know what is around the corner. The two-hour first aid for babies and children class covers CPR, choking, bumps, burns, breaks, bleeding, febrile seizures and meningitis awareness, and grants everyone who attends them a generally greater peace of mind. Mini First Aid have partnered with the Meningitis Research Foundation to ensure that all who attend our classes receive the most up to date information on meningitis awareness. Mini First Aid have not only received awards for the quality of the classes but those who consistently attend Mini First Aid review it as a 5 star first aid class. If you would be interested in attending a course in the future, please email Alex alexandra@22streetlanenursery so we can look into holding additional courses in the future.

Chinese New Year Our Chinese New Year celebrations will kick off on Monday 4th February and we have lots of exciting activities in store! The children will have the opportunity to explore Chinese cuisine using chopsticks, dragon dancing, lantern making, and mark-marking Chinese symbols. This year we are celebrating the Year of the Pig so the children will be taking part in many pig-inspired activities! We would like to say a big thank-you to Adam Myers (Alex’s daddy from our Cygnets room) who will be bringing in different Chinese snacks from his restaurant, Mans Market in Leeds for the children to taste.

Winter Wonderland The children have had a wonderful time exploring Winter through many activities including ‘Winter small world’, igloos, ice play and winter crafts. We explored Arctic animals and their homes via the world map to see where they lived. We have explored the snow using shaving foam, paint and cotton wool but we are hoping to see the real thing so that we can make snowmen and snow angels in the garden! We transformed our role play areas into a ‘Frozen’ castle and Winter Wonderland which was very exciting.
