To finish our week after celebrating Chinese new year, we tasted some chinese food. The children tasted 4 different foods typically found within chinese cuisine. Everybody was willing to give these new food items a little taste, on the menu today was, egg fried rice, noodles, prawn crackers and spring rolls. Some children expressed their opinions with thumbs up or thumbs down, others used sound effects such as 'mmm' or 'yukk' and some children vocalised 'yummy' and even asked for 'more please'. The children really enjoyed snack time today!
Nursery - Maths - Using Size And Number Language
During maths this week we have been working on number language and understanding size. The children played a game together, hiding golden coins under different sized cups.

Once the coins were found, the children were encouraged to count their coins, some children did this independently!
