Huge congratulations go these recent award winners. Very well done! We are proud of you all.
Congratulations
Word Of The Week
The Rainbow Room has ‘insect’ as their “Word of the Week” and the Raindrop Room is working on the word ‘manners’.
Outdoor Skills
Since the children in the Rainbow Room saw the arrival of the new pipe in their outdoor area they have grown in confidence to play on and in it. Some have found clever ways to climb on top of it and have developed their balancing skills once they reach the top. Others enjoy climbing inside it and experimenting with the sounds they can make. There are just so many ways that the children can have fun while developing their gross motor skills and imagination.
Pre-Writing Workshop
Don’t miss out. Come and join your child in Nursery on Monday 3rd June 2.15 -3.00. Shona McGeorge (Occupational Therapy) and Miss Campbell (P1 Teacher) will be here to share activities/give information about learning to write and what you can do to help your child.
Kandinsky Gallery
Some of the children have been learning about the work of the artist Kandinsky. Paint and chalk have been used to create artwork in his style and the children have been amazed and delighted to be able to produce a piece of art that looks similar to that of a famous artist. We hope that enjoy our little Kandinsky gallery. I wonder if the children can find their own work?
How Do You Feel?
A recent focus in the Rainbow Room was on expressing our emotions, what our faces look like when we are experiencing different emotions and how we feel. We would like to share some of the children’s ideas about their feelings.
Tom: I feel happy because I love my Daddy. I feel sad because my dog died.
Alex G.: I’m happy because Lewis is here today.
Safoora: I feel happy because the sun came and Mum said I can eat ice-cream when I get home.
Danielle: Mummy and Daddy make me happy.
Jessica: I’m happy because it’s so sunny at my Nanny’s house.
Lewis: I’m happy because I went to school with my friend Evan.
Nancy: I feel tired because I woke up too early. My Mummy woke me up too early to go to school.
Zack: I felt sad when Daddy went to work.
Aoife: I feel sleepy. I woke up early to get Dad’s phone to watch Youtube.
Alexa: I’m happy because I like having sweeties.
Tiana-Rose: I feel happy because I’m going on holiday tomorrow.
Jackson: I feel sleepy because I need more sleep.
Evan W.: I feel happy because I’ve had a lovely morning in Nursery.
Stay And Play
The children love it when members of their family come in to play in Nursery and what better way is there to see what your child does during their day with us? These parents recently joined us to play and they seemed to enjoy their experience. We hope that lots more of you stay to play for an hour or two before the school year ends.
Lots Of Learning At Snack
The snack area in Nursery helps the children to develop their social skills and learn about healthy eating as well as good hygiene procedures through hand washing and tooth brushing. They can independently prepare snack and here we see some of the children in the Raindrop Room developing their fine motor skills as they chop and prepare fruit kebabs which went down very well indeed.
Well Done
Very well done to one of our recent award winners. We are sure that your family will be as proud of you as we are.
Thank You Buddies
Emilia B.’s family has been looking at the photos of the children playing with their buddies:
“Emilia talks about her buddy a lot. Thanks to him and the other buddies she can’t wait to start primary school.”
I’m sure that the buddies will be delighted to hear that. We think that they are doing a great job and feel confident that the children will settle well in Primary 1.
