PYJAMA DAY

Children from the early years setting at St John's College in Southsea, Hampshire, wore their pyjamas to nursery to raise money for the brain injury charity Momentum. As part of the day's celebrations the children played party games, including Musical Bumps and Statues.

GREEN FINGERS

Children at Nursery on the Green in Frimley, Surrey, planted cucumbers, peas, beans and tomatoes in their new vegetable patch, which was created to teach them about healthy eating.

GREEN WEEK

Places for Children in Watford, Hertfordshire, organised a green week at the nursery so the children could learn about caring for the environment.
