Flying Start @ Helston Visit The Local Pharmacy!

The pre-schoolers at Flying Start @ Helston have been going on lots of walks into their local community recently… and this time they went to visit the pharmacy and the dentist!

The pre-school’s current learning theme is the doctors, so the children were very excited to go to the real life pharmacy!

They learned a little about all the different medicines that doctors use to help poorly people.

They then went to the dentist and had a chat to the lovely people there, and sat in the waiting room!

The children were so excited to look around the fire station, and listen to the firefighters talk all about their amazing work helping people.

They got to try on the firefighter uniforms!

And then they even got to sit in the fire engine and hear the siren which was so loud…

The children ended their brilliant trip by having a go spraying the hoses!

A huge thank you to the local fire service for welcoming the children for such a brilliant, informative trip!

Flying Start @ Saltash had a very special visit this week… from the police!

The police officer came to the nursery to meet all the children, tell them about her job, and tell them how the police help people in lots of different ways!

The children were so fascinated and listened really well!

Then they got to go outside & explore the police van, and the police officer even turned the sirens on for the children to hear!

And the children even got a goody bag to take home! What a brilliant visit that taught the children lots, a huge thank you to the local police force for coming to the nursery.

Flying Start @ Saltash Make A Den In The Garden!

The pre-schoolers at Flying Start @ Saltash have been busy making a den out in the garden this week!

They tied three large poles together, using teamwork (and a little bit of help from the nursery nurses!)  and then covered it with a large sheet to give them some shelter and shade!

They then added some bunting and some lights to make it look pretty!

They have had great fun playing in their den, and have enjoyed using it as part of their role play too!
