Boys & girls we have a special week next week as on Monday 14th it will be Valentines Day.  Valentines Day is when we can tell our family how much we love them.  We can give them a kiss and a cuddle yet why don't we make them a little surprise this week to let them know we love them very much.  This week we can make a Valentines Card from your Home Pack.  If you are using celery this week keep the base, use a fork or their fingers and we can print flowers.  

We all know that when we get poorly we can go and visit the doctor or the nurse but who can look after the animals?  A vet looks after the animals and normally we would set up a vets in the Nursery. If you would like to set up a mini vets in your home - you will need some animal toys, a blanket, bowls for their food, toy doctors equipment, some bandages or strips of kitchen roll.  The children can pretend that they have a sore foot or a limp - can they carefully care for their animals.
