Little Big Maths
In Nursery this term we have been starting to do Little Big Maths sessions in our group time. Little Big Maths is a scheme of work designed to support the development of early numeracy. It leads into the work completed in Primary 1-7 during Big Maths sessions.
Little Big Maths is split into 5 sections:
Amounts
Counting
Learn Its
It’s Nothing New
Calculation
ACLIC for short!
We have new targets each week which are up on the Nursery doors. The introduction to the Little Bit Maths book is also on the wall outside Nursery.
If you have any questions, just ask!
Police Visit (PM)
On Monday we had a visit from PC Caulder. She told us about her job and answered some of our questions!
She then took our finger prints and allowed us to have a go with her hand cuffs!
We were allowed to look in the police car, setting off the sirens and pretending to drive! It was so much fun! Thank you so much for coming to see us!!

Fun in the snow!
Although the weather is currently shortening our school day, we are making the most of it at Nursery!
Snow offers lots of learning opportunities!
The children were learning how to travel safely in the snow.
They were problem solving to figure out how to get to the top of the slippy hill so that they could sledge down.
They had to work out how to collect and transport snow for our Nursery snowman.
They had to find a fair way to share the sledges to make sure everyone had a turn.
Great work everyone!
