The children have had lots of fun coming to nursery in their favourite pyjamas. 

The children have been learning about Chinese New Year and looking at images and clips of the parade in Liverpool. Some children also created Chinese numbers up to 5 using different coloured paints. 

The children enjoy playing and exploring in our woodland area in all weathers. 

As part of our ongoing learning we have been finding out about Chinese New Year.  Some of our children have had experience of Chinese New Year celebrations in Liverpool city centre.  We enjoyed making rice and trying to eat it with chopsticks at our nursery celebration.
