Flying Start @ Helston Have A Special Visit From A Policeman! 

Flying Start @ Helston have had a very special visit from a police man!
The children got to look and try on all the hats that a police man may wear depending where we see them…

He even brought his police van for the children to have a look at. It was great fun getting inside the back, but they were all on their best behaviour so they were able to get out again!!

As a reward for sitting nicely and listening to all the information, he kindly let the children sound the sirens – they were very noisy and loud!
For the final activity, the policeman took fingerprints of the children, to make into a key ring to take home…

A huge thank you to our local policeman for such a fun & informative day for the children!

The nursery are very lucky with their wonderful location on the agricultural college, that they are free to enjoy the beautiful grounds, and all the animals, that belong to the college… And they love to go out on walks and see which animals they can find!

The children also saw some other friendly furry friends… and were very excited to go back to nursery and describe all of what they have seen! Some children even knew how we look after baby lambs, as they live on farms themselves!

Flying Start @ Cornwall College Go Shopping at a Farm Shop!
The pre-school department at Cornwall College were very excited to visit a farm shop because they have their own farm shop role-play in the pre-school department!!
   IMG_20170307_112041 (1)
The children looked at all of the different fruit and vegetables that they could see in the shop and talked about which ones grow in England… they talked all about how the bananas and pineapples need hot sunny weather which means that they definitely aren’t from England!

Then they decided to look for the vegetables which were still muddy because they would have come straight from the soil… and they found potatoes, carrots and turnips like this!

The children chose to buy six fresh eggs from the shop… they gave the lady the money, and took them back to nursery to have some scrambled egg for a snack… yum!

The paramedics then showed the children all of the items in their special first aid kit bags… the children even got to try on the oxygen masks, and had a go at putting bandages on each other!

The paramedics talked to the children all about their important job going to see people in emergencies when they’re hurt, and getting them safely to the hospital.

And then the children got stuck into a special cookery session making Cornish pasties!

They carefully rolled out their pastry using rolling pins, and then filled their pasties up with lots of vegetables, with the help of the staff who then put them in the oven… and later they got to try their delicious pasties!

Flying Start @ Duchy have been getting active out in the forest… they love to get out and about so much, that the staff decided to move gym club outside!

The pre-school and toddler children got dressed up in their wet weather kit, and to warm up they played some games which included moving in various ways and listening very carefully to instructions of when to move and when to stop!

IMG_20170221_101318

The children then used sticks to create shapes which became the target… And the children worked super hard hitting the targets with their bean bags!

IMG_20170221_101435

The children practised lots and lots, and ended up hitting the target with their bean bags -well done!!
