Tilly’s Mum has been looking at our photos from World Book Day last week:
“Aww, two beautiful mermaids! Tilly loved getting to dress up and come to nursery as Ariel for World Book Day!”
There seemed to be so many different outfits that day. The children looked brilliant and we enjoyed all the stories they brought to show us. Thank you to everyone who participated.
Congratulations go to these recent award winners. Your certificates are well deserved and we are very proud of you both.
“Word of the Week” in the Rainbow Room will be “seasons” this week while the Raindrop Room is focussing on “Spring”. Let’s hope that we can see signs of Spring soon rather than Winter to help the children use these words.
World Book Day is always a lovely opportunity to celebrate our favourite books and to encourage the children to enjoy stories. This year, as part of a whole school celebration, the children were encouraged to dress as their favourite book character and to bring in their favourite books.
We were also very lucky to have Arthur’s Mummy in Nursery as a super visiting storyteller and would like to thank her so much for taking the time to join us. It was great to see so many children participating in World Book Day and we hope that you enjoy these photos of some of the children’s lovely outfits.
We have had two lovely comments on our recent post about the Primary 6 buddies visiting Nursery. One is from a P6 pupil who said,
“I like playing with the tv and playing outside with the nursery children.”
Our other comment was from the parent of a buddy:
“Lovely picture. Scott really enjoys his visits to the nursery. Thank you.”
Thank you both for taking the time to look at our blog. It was great to hear from you. The Nursery children certainly love the visits from Primary 6 who are doing a super job.
I wonder if the children use terms of measure at home? These children have been talking about ‘full’ and ’empty’ as they experimented in the water area. Some were able to pour water to make cups ‘full’ or ‘half-full’ and most understood the term ’empty’. They certainly looking like they are concentrating well in these photos.
Wednesday is buddy day when Primary 6 visit Nursery children to play with them. The buddies are getting to know our children and are doing a great job. It’s lovely to see the older and younger children chatting together as they begin to build relationships. We are looking forward to lots more visits in the future and hope that Primary 6 are enjoying their visits too.
Jacob’s family was pleased with the photo of the children sampling different foods:
“Aww. Cousins having fun and trying some food together. Love it.”
It is great to see the children confident to try different foods. They did enjoy this activity.
Thank you to Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, for her Rhyme and Story sessions this term. It looks like our families have been enjoying her activities on a Thursday.
It’s great to see that some families have been enjoying our recent photos. Oscar’s family has been looking at our tasting sessions:
“Definitely Oscar’s favourite kind of test especially if theres strawberries and oranges on offer!”
Strawberries in particular were certainly very popular with lots of the children and they enjoyed comparing the different foods on offer.
Alex and Letti also featured in photos of the children performing in the puppet theatre which their families enjoyed.
Alex’s family said, “Aww it looks like Alex is having a great time.”
Letti’s family loved her photo too:
“What a great photo of these cheeky pair! Having fun and probably lots of nonsense.”
The children did have great fun taking turns at performing and being part of the audience. It is lovely to see their confidence growing in this way.
