More Burns Fun

As promised, we wanted to share some photos from our afternoon Burns celebration. As you can see, the children looked great wearing tartan and most were keen to sample the shortbread, oatcakes, cheese and Irn Bru. Despite low numbers on Monday afternoon, most of the children showed themselves to be confident performers and families and friends looked suitably proud of their performance. Well done boys and girls!

Learning About Scotland

Sophie’s Mum enjoyed the children’s performance for Burns Day:

“The children all sang really well today. It also looks like they enjoyed sampling some Scottish treats.”

Kacey’s family also left us a comment about our learning about Burns:

“Kacey has been talking about rabbie burns and singing the songs she learned at nursery at home.”

Thank you for taking time to leave us a comment. The children have responded well to learning about Scotland and we thought they did well to learn their songs in such a short space of time.

Burns Celebration

Today we celebrated Burns Day with shortbread, oatcakes and cheese and, of course, Irn Bru. We appreciate everyone making a super effort to provide the children with ‘a touch o’ tartan’ as it added to the occasion. Thank you also to all the family and friends who came to hear the children sing their Scottish songs. It’s so important for them to have an appreciative audience and you certainly helped to make it a memorable occasion for them. Here you can see some of the morning children enjoying their celebration. Afternoon photos will follow soon.

The Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness Monster has been part of our discussions when learning about Scotland and the children seem to have mixed opinions on whether it exists or not. For those who believe in it, we have had some wonderful ideas about what the monster might be like.

Hollie: he is like a sizzly snake.
Callum: it’s a monster and it’s like a dinosaur and it’s called ‘Nessie’.
Ava: he is like a stretchasaurus.
Daryl: he’s like a dinosaur.
Sophie S.: I think it’s green and scary in the water.
Cian: it’s green and it has sharp teeth. You see it in films and books.
Torrin: it looks like a snake and it swims in the water.
Max A.: he lives under the water.
Darcy: he’s got smelly teeth and spikes.
Joe H.: I’ve got a jumper with the Loch Ness Monster on. I think it’s a real monster – it’s like a giant.
Theo: it’s real. It looks like a green puddle.
Jade S.: I don’t think there’s a real monster ’cause I’ve never seen one down the river and it doesn’t exist.
Conan: I think it’s a teddy but it looks real.
Sophie M.: I’m sure there is a Nessie ’cause on my jigsaw it told me the deepest monster in the sea lives in Loch Ness and it’s in Scotland.
Ben: when I was going fishing I saw a big, big fish and it was the Loch Ness Monster what lived in Scotland.

Scottish Celebration

We would like to remind everyone that we will be holding a small Burns celebration in Nursery tomorrow, 26th January. It would add to the occasion if the children could wear a little ‘touch o’ tartan’ if possible to help us to celebrate in style but the main thing is simply to come and enjoy the day.
The children have done well this week learning their Scottish songs and are looking forward to performing them tomorrow to their families at the end of the Nursery sessions (11.45 and 2.50).

Cold Weather House

houseThe cold weather doesn’t seem to want to go away so today a small group of children decided that they needed to make a house in the garden to stay warm. house2
As you can see, they made a good job of it and added little chairs inside so that they didn’t have to sit on the cold ground. Of course, as we all know, the housework still has to be done regardless of the weather, so they even took it in turns to clean the windows and doors.
