We have unfortunately had to cancel today’s sports due to the weather. We hope the sun will shine for us next Wednesday instead (27th) .  The same times for both sessions.

Many thanks for supporting us with this decision.

This week at nursery……….Monday  will be our last library day and that will give our children and parent helpers plenty of time to return the books and get ready for next year.  Can I say a huge thank you yo Jamie and Owens mums for coming into nursery every week to help run the library.  Tuesday – circle time on transition to P1 and am children to  explore Carronhill Grounds of Learning.  Wellie Wednesday planting and sorting over in the mud garden for the pm children.  Loose parts play for the am children.  Many thanks to Mrs Robertson for her recent donations to the garden. Thursday the schoolers (that’s what they have named themselves ) will be learning a new Makaton song and the ante preschool children will be taking part in songs/rhymes and yoga. On Friday we hope to practice our sports day skills.

In craft the children are busy making medals and at the literacy area they are being invited to make a story book on their visit to Arduthie school for the Teddy Bear Picnic as a thank you. Several children want to write their numbers and we are busy working with all the children on their chosen next steps.  Many thanks to everyone for handing in their Teddy Toddle Sponsors, you have  raised over £800.00 so far with donations still coming in so I hope to give you a final figure soon.  Tremendous effort, thank you.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and keep an eye on our notice board for changes.

Can you please check to see if you have any nursery clothing at home.  We are missing several pairs of boys and girls trousers and leggings, along with tops, pants and socks.  Also if your child has grown out of their clothes we would be great full for any donations in sizes 2 to 6 years.

Many thanks.

Good morning,

What a beautiful morning for our day of picnics……….we look forward to welcoming the children and their bears later.  Many thanks to our parent helpers today.  We can not do these trips without your help so it’s much appreciated.  If staff have asked for buggies to come in please remember them.  We are hoping to purchase our own buggies but don’t, as yet, have any.  Just to confirm the children will be back at nursery in time for normal pick up times.

Lastly can you please remember to cover the children in sun cream and pop on a sun hat, we have been learning about how to stay safe so don’t be surprised if they remind you to do this.

Thank you.

We hope to head out for our Sponsored Teddy Toddle at 1000am and 1400pm.  Many thanks to those who have already returned their Sponsor Forms and we look forward to receiving the others in due course.

Fingers crossed for fine, dry, weather.

p.s. Friday should read Sports Day Practice.

Monday – Library,  please ensure your child returns his/her library book by the Thursday…..this will ensure they get a new one the following Monday.

Tuesday – Circle Time and the pm children will be going to Carronhill  for outdoor learning.

Wednesday – Wellies on for the am children

Thursday – Yoga and Makaton

Friday – PE

We were playing shape snap with several children today and have decided to plan activities around 2D and 3D shapes for the next 2 weeks.

Welcome to our new children who start this week – Hamish, Lily, Sam, Emily and Rachel, we hope you have a great time at nursery.

On Monday we will continue with library.  Tuesday, the morning children will have circle time and the afternoon children will head over to Carronhill Grounds of Learning  for outdoor play experiences.  On Wednesday the morning children will have outdoor learning, planting the flowers and vegetables we bought in the garden centre, and in the afternoon we will have circle time.  As usual we will take part in yoga and Makaton on Thursday and we will be in the hall on Friday for PE.  This week we will be revisiting  friendship and routines to help our new children settle in.  We will also be exploring the flowers  we planted before the holidays and learning all about them.
