The children have been celebrating all things Scottish in the nursery this week.  They enjoyed tasting haggis, neeps and tatties as part of our Burns night celebrations. They also helped to prepare and taste some traditional scotch broth and some Scottish shortbread.  The children have enjoyed dancing to different types of Scottish music. They explored some of the steps used in Scottish country dancing and they also enjoyed creating their own dances.  The children have also been learning some new Scottish words using some favourite stories, rhymes and songs (eg Ally Bally, Three Craws and Katie Bairdie).

The children have been keeping active even though the weather has been bad outdoors. They have been exploring new movements and techniques using the sticky kids warm up CD. The children have been galloping, skipping, tip toeing and marching. They have also explored some new action songs and rhymes.

The children have enjoyed exploring their understanding of numbers up to 10 and beyond! They have been recognising numbers, counting objects and ordering numbers.
