Learners’ Interest: Growing

Our learners at Menstrie Nursery have shown an interest in ‘growing’. We had caterpillars in Nursery which have now grown in to butterflies. Our learners have been busy bringing in baby photographs of themselves and have enjoyed ‘looking after’ the baby dolls in Nursery. We would like to extend their learning further by inviting any parent who has a baby and who would feel comfortable bringing their baby into Nursery to chat with our learners.

Nursery Outing

If you are a parent helper for our Nursery outing to Almond Valley on Friday 22^nd June, could we ask that you join Miss McEwan in Nursery for a discussion relating to our risk assessment.
