Yoga, Caterpillars, and More!

21 May 2026
To support with children’s mental health, our Pre-school and Toddler Room children at Chestnut Nursery School St Nicholas House have been carrying out some lovely yoga sessions both indoors and outdoors.
 
Yoga offers numerous benefits for preschool aged children, enhancing their physical, emotional, cognitive, and social development. Regular practice promotes muscle tone and flexibility, which are essential for overall physical health and injury prevention. Through various poses, children learn about their bodies and how they move, fostering proprioception and spatial awareness.
 
The children have also been learning the importance of knowing how to dial 999 in an emergency and which services to request.
 
We have also had a wonderful delivery of caterpillars for the children in both our Toddler and Pre-school Rooms. This will link to the famous story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ written by Eric Carle.
 
Caterpillars and butterflies offer fascinating opportunities for educational activities that can engage children of all ages. These delicate creatures not only showcase the marvels of metamorphosis but also provide hands-on learning experiences in biology, ecology, and environmental science. Incorporating caterpillar and butterfly-themed activities into the classroom or at home can spark curiosity, promote observation skills, and nurture a love for nature.
