We cannot believe that is approaching the end of May already.  There is so much still to come and lots to be doing.

After watching our tadpoles grow and begin to change into frogs, we had to give them back to be put into their natural habitat.  The children loved watching the tadpoles and seeing the changes with their own eyes.  They drew many lovely pictures of them and it made us think about other creatures that change in a similar way.  Can you think of anymore?

Our sponsored Bikeathon was a great success.  Thank you very much to all the adults for sponsoring the children and helping us to buy some lovely new equipment for the nursery.  The children had a super time riding the bikes, even although we had to do it indoors due to the rain!

We have been outside a lot recently and have been enjoying watching the changes in our garden.  It really has sprung into life, lots of lovely colours and smells.  Hopefully in the coming weeks we will venture into the sensory garden and see what we can find.  A story around the great Storytelling chair is a must!

Next Friday, all the children will be taking part in their very own Commonwealth Games at Lornshill Academy.  They are all looking forward to this and the ride on the bus. The children will take part in a variety of activities relating to the Commonwealth Games.  In our next blog we will hopefully get some super pictures of the Games for you to have a look at.

We have all been busy in the nursery over the past couple of weeks.  A kind parent brought in some tadpoles and we have been feeding them and watching them grown.  They are funny little things and grown quite a bitin only one week.  When they get even bigger we will need to return them so that they can live in the wild.  Did you know that tadpoles grow into frogs?

We have spent a lot of time outside in the garden this week.  We have been planting flowers and vegetables, hopefully we have get some lovely things to eat.  Have you seen all the hard work that Mrs Galloway has been doing?  Mrs Galloways and the children have decorated our garden.  It is now very bright and colourful with beautiful butterflies, daisies and lady birds decorating the fencing.  The children even planted flowers in welly boots which are looking lovely on the side of the house.  If you haven’t noticed, be sure to take a look next time you are round.  Well done everyone!

We are learning about the Commonwealth Games and have been looking at all the different sports that take place.  We have also decorated the nursery with some of the countries flag, it is looking good.  Next week for Health Week, our nursery are having their very own sponsored bike ride.  That should be lots of fun.

Our children that are going to school in the summer have continued to visit the Early Years classrooms and had lots of fun with the Primary 1 children.  Their favourite part has been playing in the big playground and taking part in some games.

We have a busy term ahead with lots of exciting activities planned.  We will tell you all about them in the coming weeks.
