How early can we teach a child to be safe and healthy? From an early age, we might say.

The week before the mid-term holiday, October 21st – November 1st, involved all of the nursery children in the Health & Safety Week event through a series of fun and practical activities. The Health and safety event helps children to think critically and play creatively, so we planned activities to encourage physical exercise, mental and emotional well-being, food and nutritional habits, and hygiene and safety matters. 

It was a very busy week, so without any further ado find out all of the specific activities which kept us on the boil:

Dr. Livia Sorohan, our nursery paediatrician, visited each classroom and explained to children about hygiene, germs and methods to keep us clean and protected. 

With regards to safety, children from all groups received a visit from Radu Bălașa, a specialised ISU inspector, who explained how to extinguish a fire and how to react in case of an earthquake. Moreover, as part of our regular safety procedures, children took part in emergency drills.

What does a healthy smile look like? This was the question that Dent Estet together with Reception Blue children answered in order to find out the best tips on how to properly take care of teeth.

In order to connect physical exercise with Famous People and History, children from Year 1 visited “Muzeul Sportului”. During the trip to the Museum of Romanian Sport, children found out about the history of famous people and Romanian sport and they also observed photographs, trophies, medals, and equipment.

It is not a surprise that spending time outdoors is one of the most loved activities by all children, as they can spend hours and hours finding various ways of playing, while observing and exploring. Therefore, Nursery Orange, Nursery Blue and Reception Green children went to the Japanese Garden to take part in some interactive movement games. Their trip was a real blast!

Finally, what better place than a market for finding out more about smart nutrition? Year 1 children went to Domenii Market to buy their favourite fruit and vegetables. It was a great opportunity to learn outside the classroom about seasonal products and to practise a little bit of Maths skill by using money to pay for their purchases. 

Remember to keep healthy and safe!
