Look how much fun we had sledging!

We experimented to find out which sledge went the fastest and which route was the most slippy!

This super-sledger in the afternoon demonstrated the fastest sledge and route as shown below:

Today the morning Nursery had fun in the snow!

Check out some of the things we got up to ….

Today we celebrated St Andrew’s Day in Nursery!

We had stovies for snack!

We listened to our favourite stories in Scots!

We wore tartan clothes!

We made our own paper weaving tartans!

As it is December tomorrow the Nursery are proud to reveal their Christmas display in the main hall!

Faye, Isla J, Cael, Aria, Harvey, Kacper and Lexi painted the post box. Isla J and Faye stuck all the snow on the ground. The afternoon Nursery all helped to stick on the snow onto the picture and both the morning and afternoon children wrote “To Santa” on an envelope!
Lexi wrote the sign for the front of the post box which says “Post for the North Pole 22nd December.”

Well Done, Everyone! It looks fantastic!

Yesterday it was Beep Beep Day in Nursery which meant we were learning all about ROAD SAFETY!

We went on a walk to practise crossing at the zebra crossing and we wore stripy clothes to remind us that the stripes on the road are a safe place to cross.

We also practised crossing the road on the pretend road whilst our friends rode bikes, scooters and cars.

We must remember to hold an adult’s hand and to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN!

We also really enjoyed this video about being King of the Road!

This week in Nursery we have been learning about animals from far away!

We have been getting crafty making animal pictures; playing with arctic animals in the water tray and reenacting the story of The Tiger Who Came To Tea!

This week as part of our animal project we are learning about pets!

Please feel free to bring in any photos of your family pets or objects linked to them (Eg. leads, bowls, toys etc).

Today we completed a Venn Diagram to show whether we liked dogs, cats or both and we also started sharing information our our pets from home!

Following the results of our parent/carer survey, today it was the children’s turn to have their say!

We had a thumb vote for each of the SHANARRI wellbeing indicators. The photographs are part of the SHANARRI display which can be found in the peg area.

Thank you again to all parents and carers who completed the survey!

On Monday this week we created an outdoor water canal using pipes. We transported the water from the bottom to the top and used the force of the water to help the boats float down!

We are hoping to build a more permanent water feature, dug into in the nursery garden which the children can use for activities like this and for building dams! If you have any ideas for how we could achieve this or if you would like to volunteer to help us with the digging and building just let a member of staff know!
