Week Beginning 24/09/18

I hope you have all had a great weekend and are ready for the week ahead.  Firstly can I say how well the children are all doing with their Makaton signs.  They are engaging well and are remembering their signs from week to week.  This week we hope to collect “signs of Autumn” so if you are out walking please allow the children to collect them to bring in.

Monday – PE for all, obstacle course to develop balance, movement, problem solving, climbing and jumping skills.

Tuesday – Circle Time, rhyming – You could link this learning at home by reading rhyming stories and poems

Wednesday – Wellies on and out. The pm classes missed out last week as the weather was too stormy by the afternoon so they will be making Scarecrows and going on a treasure hunt.  The morning groups will be looking for signs of Autumn

Thursday – Makaton and Yoga

Friday – Dance!

Every child will also be taking part in a baking activity to contribute to the MacMillan Coffee morning on Friday.  Mrs Hays, yellow group have already been making apple and plum crumble, which we had for snack and was delicious! The apples and plums came from Innes’s grans trees. Thank you.

Week Beginning 3rd September 2018

This week at nursery we are continuing to build friendships and getting to know each other.  Last week the children asked if we could build a kitchen for our outdoor area and we have therefore obtained  several pallets and the children are going to plan how they would like it to look before we start putting it together.  We are not joiners so please bare with us!!!  The children will all get an opportunity to be hands on and use our tools  with adult supervision.  At PE on Monday the afternoon children participated in circle games and we will continue you this with our morning children on Friday.  Mrs Fiona Crichton our Principal Teacher will visit this week and is looking forward to meeting the children.  Mrs Hamilton will be in nursery every Tuesday morning from now on and she will be working on a number of skills with the children – this week she is planning a playdough disco!

Please see our floor book for the next 2 weeks planning and add any comments or ideas you have.

Many thanks
