Bonjour!
We have worked on describing the weather in French. We played snap and connect 4, and took turns at being the teacher to introduce phrases to our groups.
Being Active!
This month our health & wellbeing focus in nursery is being ACTIVE! We are active every day both inside and outside. The children love building obstacle courses outside and working together to make sure they are safe as well. We have also had our gym equipment outside this week.
Scottish dancing
In our hall time this week, the nursery children talked about and learned some Scottish dancing. Miss White taught us some highland dancing which we were very good at, and we also practised some country dancing in a circle with our friends.
We also listened to a Scottish band and thought about what instruments we could hear: “bagpiper” “drumkit” “violin” “accordion”. We then watched a video to see what all of these instruments looked like.
Science Material Hunt
This week in science we have been learning all about materials. We have learned to classify natural and manmade (synthetic) materials and discussed examples of these. After this we went outdoors to hunt for different objects in the playground and identified what kind of materials these objects were made from.
Scots writing
After being introduced to our Scots poems for the year, this week as part of our writing lesson we tried to create some Scots texts of our own. We began by discussing what Scots words we already knew and then had a go at changing some well-known nursery rhymes into Scots. Once we were confident using and understanding some Scots words, we wrote a description about ourselves titled ‘Me Masel’. Miss Milroy was very impressed with our work and thinks our writing will look great displayed beside our collaborative class painting of Robert Burns.
Christmas fun!
ELC children have had lots of fun decorating trees inside and out.
We have all learned about the story of baby Jesus, and Mary & Joseph through role play and our daily advent calendar.
