Learning to be healthy and getting fit!

This week in Nursery we have been learning about how to be healthy. The children are starting to understand how exercise and what we eat contributes to good health. There is always a range of activities in the garden area to play with for the children to keep physically fit. One of the activities they really enjoyed was hula hooping, which shows increasing control over an object. We have also been practising jumping off an object and landing appropriately to make sure we do not hurt ourselves. The children had lots of fun creating their own assault course where they travelled with confidence and skill around, under, over and through the equipment.

During learning time, we learnt about why it is important to eat a healthy range of food and completed a food sorting activity all about our favourite fruits and vegetables.
