This week has been National Digital Learning Week across Scotland, and schools all over the country have been sharing their digital learning on Twitter, using the hashtag, #NDLW19. It’s been amazing to see the huge amount of talent and skills happened all over Scotland. At Menzieshill Nursery, we have been very active in our contribution in this, you may have seen our tweets relating to this.
In other news, we were quite sad to find that none of our eggs hatched last week, after looking after them carefully in the incubator for 21 days. Mrs Tasker contacted the farm we got the eggs from and they kindly gave us 2 newly hatched chicks to keep in nursery for a week. They also gave us 6 more eggs, which Mrs T will keep in her incubator at home, to avoid any possible “incubator malfunction issues” which may have been the reason for no hatching. We are crossing our fingers for a more successful outcome from these. We will keep you posted!
The children have had lots of opportunities this week to look at the chicks and for those who wished to stroke, to be able to do so. It is a really lovely experience for the children to see such new life and to understand the very important need to be kind and gentle with them.
Don’t forget it’s the In-service Day on Thursday 23 May so nursery will be closed to children, but we are open again on Friday 24 May. Monday 27 May is the Victoria Day holiday, for which we are closed, re-opening on Tuesday 28 May.
