Golden Mile
The children at East Hoathly braved the cold
weather for another round of the Golden Mile
this week. Their stamina and resilience are
constantly increasing and the children are
running more and more laps
around the playground.
Well done and keep up the
hard work!
Breakfast Club This week, the children in Breakfast Club made
a healthy fruit salad for breakfast! The
children are also enjoying the
brown bread toast!
Thank you Miss Hillier for
running such an exciting
breakfast club!
KS2 Fruit You may have seen in the news recently the
Change4Life campaign which aims to cut down
sugar intake in children.
There are many benefits to eating fruit at
break times, including extra vitamins to fight
off those germs!
Please ensure that if your child has a snack at
break time, it is a piece of fruit.
You can visit the Change4Life website for more
information.

Nursery News
This week, we have been looking at which foods are healthy. As part of this, we
have looked at and shared different foods at snack time.
To help our maths skills, we have been learning a new song about numbers
which helps us count to 10 and back again.
All the children have had fun exploring the garden this week and have noticed
lots of changes to the garden. We would like to say a big thank you to all the
families that joined us for Ground Force on Saturday, we achieved so much in
such a short time!
Home Learning
Here are a couple of songs that we have been learning in nursery, we thought it
would be nice for the children to share them at home.

We are working hard in nursery to learn our letter sounds. Here is a link you

children need, before they start blending words together in Reception.
