In the Nursery they have been having some fun and games out in the hall. When we were through in the hall taking some photos they were playing duck duck goose. For some of them it was their first time. Everybody enjoyed it very much.

Nursery pupils are getting into Christmas spirit. They helped decorate the Christmas tree, and even have their own Christmas tree in their home corner. Pupils were able to dress up as Santa and his reindeer!
Angie Smith, Forestry Ranger, recently visited the nursery to tell them about wildlife in the forest.
The children were able to handle the skin of a fox and a deers skull.
The nursery are doing a singalong for parents and carers. They are holding two performances today. They have been learning lots of songs for their performance including When Santa got stuck up the Chimney, A chubby little snow man and Twinkle twinkle Little Star. They will finish their performance with Jingle Bells. The audience will be invited to join in!
Good luck nursery 🙂

The white stuff is back…
…but the nursery children are making the most of it by shovelling it, building snowmen out of it and they made snow angels!
Their outdoor playsuits, that they bought with the money raised from their sponsored walk, came in use yet again.
The nursery joined in St Andrews Day celebrations by coming to school in a touch of tartan.
The nursery were told about Huntly Castle by some of the Huntly Castle Junior Tour Guides.
They learnt about the kitchen and how the food was cooked in an enormous cooking pot. They learnt that the fire was never allowed to go out.
They were also told about the prison, the Great Hall and the Lords chamber.
Back at the nursery they made a soup just like the one that would have been made 400 years ago in the castle.
In the Nursery recently they have been celebrating St Andrews day. They have been enjoying highland dancing with Mrs Martins. Today they enjoyed Tattie soup and later on in the week they will be trying mince and tatties. They will be enjoying lots of other events to celebrate St Andrews Day over the week.

The nursery recently went for a walk around the school grounds to look at trees. They studied the leaves, looking at their shapes and the autumn colours. They looked at the bark of trees and felt their texture.
Tghey went to the shops to buy bird feeders, food to put in it and fat balls. Back at the nursery they filled the bird feeders with seeds and nuts, and hung them up in the nursery garden for the birds to enjoy.
They also helped to plant some trees.
