Hello everybody,

Today’s story is about how we are connected to people even when we can’t see them.

Remember even though you are not at nursery just now that all your teachers are thinking of you and miss you.

What other ways can you tell people that you are thinking of them?

Perhaps you could draw someone you know a picture or make a card and send it to them.

Bye for now.

The children in nursery have been super busy at home with their families. Here is some of the amazing activities and learning they have been doing.

Well done everybody, you are being fantastic stay at home heroes.

Hello everyone.

Just a reminder that next week we have In service day on Thursday 7th May and no school on Friday for the VE day celebrations.

Following on from Miss Palmer’s post yesterday, here is a story about a Giraffe!

We hope you have all had fun dancing.

Stay safe and take care

Hello everyone,

Today’s story ties in with our books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. It is being read by Dolly Parton herself.

Did you enjoy the story?

What was your favourite part?

What kind of transport would you like to ride on?

Where would you like to go?

Have a look outside your window and have a look to see the different types of vehicles you can see.

How many cars are there?

Are all the cars the same colour or are they different?

Do you have any buses pass your house?

If so what number of bus is it?

Bye for now, have a good day and stay safe.

Hello everyone, we hope you had a good weekend.

We have noticed that lots of you have been enjoying the sunny weather and having picnics in your gardens with your family.

What is your favourite food to eat on a picnic?

Today’s story is all about a sandwich!

Have a great weekend

Good Morning,

I just want to take a moment to give you a brief update. As you are aware the nursery is still closed, and at the present time we have no indication of how long this will last. The nursery team will continue to update the blog with songs, stories, and activities that you can participate in with your child. If you would like advice on activities, you can do with your child to target a specific area please do not hesitate to get in touch with either myself or your child’s key worker.

I would also like to thank all the parents who have been uploading activities to their child’s ILD. The nursery team are enjoying seeing all the wonderful things they have been doing at home. We are working to pair these up with the Marvellous Me platform and awarding them for their achievements.

For those parents who have not yet signed up to ILD or Marvellous Me please get in touch and we will be able to send you the information you require. For parents who have forgotten their log on details for ILD again let us know and we can arrange for a password reset to be sent to you.

We are aware that some families may be finding the situation we find ourselves in a struggle. It is important that you make sure that you look after your physical and mental well being. We would appreciate if you could drop us a short note weekly to let us know you are well. I have included the phone number for the Aberdeen Council’s Crisis Support line for those families who are struggling and require assistance.

Aberdeen City Council Crisis Support Line:           0800 0304 713

Thank you and stay safe
