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

Hello everybody,

Today we have a fun story for you.

and a familiar song

Hope you all have a good day and stay safe.

We have spent our Easter Holidays collecting stones on our walks.

We love to collect a few nice pebbles here and there but now we have a mini mountain of stones at the back door.

We have decided to decorate them and drop them off around Kincorth to see if they can spread some smiles to those who find them.

We did some rocks last year with the children and hid them on our Wee Green Spaces days. They were great fun and the children enjoyed making their stones into many different things.

Why are Painted Rocks Hidden Everywhere?

This is a fun art activity to do at home with your grown-ups and if you find any rocks painted then please share a picture on ILD or on the school twitter page.

I wonder how many you can find on your walks?

What will you paint on your rocks and stones?

We can’t wait to see.

We hope you all enjoyed your Easter Holidays. 

We hoped to be seeing you all in nursery, but sadly we are still closed. We  will continue to post stories, songs and activities on the blog for you to engage in at home. 

Today we have some singing stories!

We hope that you are all feeling happy. 

What is making you feel happy just now?

The next singing story about space is inspired by one of our friends who has made a fantastic Solar System! 

The last one we have is ‘Over in the Meadow’. 

What have you been doing with your parents in your home?

We love hearing about all you have been doing. Please keep uploading your photos and video’s to your ILD.

*Parents remember videos over 1 minute won’t upload.*

Stay safe, and keep in touch

The Nursery Team

The children in the nursery have been doing lots of different learning at home. As you can see they have been very busy.

Please keep sending us your photos on your ILD or Tweet to @abbotswell.

 Stay safe over the holidays.

Today is Friday Dance Day!

Here are some of our favourites for you to dance along with at home.

Remember you can get your grown up to up load a picture or video of you dancing to your ILD or Tweet to @abbotswell.

Today I have found a song about a worm.  It has been inspired by one of our nursery friends worm toy!

Did you know that worms are really important for your garden?

What super things can you do? 

Remember you can get your grown up to take a picture of you and up load it to your ILD or tweet it to @abbotswell.

Hello everyone and Happy April Fools Day!

Today our story is inspired by one of our children who has been pretending to by a Tiger!

Some of our children have been baking at home while nursery is closed. 

What would you give a Tiger if it came to tea at your house?

Here is a fun song about animal tails. Can you guess who they belong to?

Have a great day and remember to post what you have been doing on your ILD or Tweet it to @abbotswell.

Here is a story about Spring!

As it is Tuesday, here is a Spring song we learn with Mr Smith at Music.

What signs of Spring can you see out of your window or in your garden?

Maybe you could draw a picture!
