Tilly’s family has been looking at the photos of our visit to the school nature garden:
“Love this! Looks lots of fun in the nature garden, you guys are so lucky to have such a fab outdoor area!”
We are very lucky to have this area to go on little adventures and the children always have great fun there.
STEM stands for science, technologies, engineering and mathematics which are all areas of learning in Nursery. If you take a look at the STEM displays in each room, you can get a taste of all the different activities the children enjoy which are developing their knowledge, understanding, curiosity, creativity and enthusiasm in these areas.
To help you understand how you can support these areas of your child’s learning at home, we have added a link on the right under “Useful Reading: STEM for Parents”. Click on the link for information from Education Scotland and have fun learning with your child.
Tilly’s family has been looking at the photos of the Raindrop Room’s hairdressing salon:
“Tilly absolutely loved the hairdresser’s role play area! Playing hairdressers and make up artists is her favourite thing to do at home! She is very pleased with herself that she can now put her own pony tail in and loves to put as many bobbles as she can in my hair!!!!!”
Well done Tilly – you must have been practising lots to be able to do your own hair. It was certainly a popular area with Tilly and her friends.
Sophie E.’s family has been looking at our photos of our Family Maths Activity event last week:
“Really enjoyed coming in and doing the activities with sophie. Great ideas for learning at home.”

Seth’s family has been looking at the photos of our family activities for National Numeracy Week:
“Seth had a great time learning about maths he loved the ipads”
We are glad that you enjoyed our little event. It was great to see so many parents and families joining in. The I-pads were certainly one of the most popular activities according to your feedback sheets.
Thank you to those families who joined us this week for our fun activities to celebrate National Maths Week. It was lovely to see our parents, grandparents and carers playing together with the children on a range of Maths activities. Thank you also for completing our evaluation sheets which are useful in indicating which activities were the most popular and to Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, for organising our event. We hope that we have given you some ideas of how to develop your child’s learning at home.

Freya’s family is very proud of her recent award and left a lovely comment that summed it up in one word, “Superstar”. We agree and are very proud of her too. Well done Freya!
Tilly’s family has been looking at the photos of the children making cookies:
“Wow! This looks lots of fun and great to see such wonderful team work going on! Tilly LOVES to bake! I hope the cookies tasted as good as they looked!”
The children did work well together and were very patient when taking turns. The cookies certainly went down very well once cooked so everyone must have made a job of them.
Lola’s family has been having a look at our recent posts. They liked the tennis photos, “Looks like lots of fun lola love mammy and daddy” as well as photos from the hall activities, “Lola has just told us she was a princess here” and a photo of her in the craft area, “Great cutting out lola. Lola has told us she loves her new nursery”.
It’s great to hear that you’re enjoying Nursery Lola. Well done for trying out lots of different activities and thank you to your family for taking the time to leave us a comment. We hope that all our families are enjoying getting a taste of Nursery on our blog.
