Alfie’s Pizza

It was lovely to hear from Alfie’s family that, just like Kyla, they too are out on painted rock hunts. We love these super photos that Alfie sent us and his Mum explained what they had been doing.

“After a walk hunting for painted rocks this one gave Alfie the idea for dinner. We made our own pizza dough & sauce then Alfie decorated his pizza with lots of vegetables to look like himself. “

I wonder who left that painted stone that inspired you? Your pizza looks absolutely delicious Alfie and it looks just like you. What great skills you are learning to be making your own dough too. Very well done and thank you so much for telling us all about your adventures. It’s great to hear from you.

Questions And Answers

With future plans for school and Early Learning and Childcare settings outlined recently by the Scottish Government, we understand that this will be an anxious and uncertain time for parents and carers.

For that reason the Scottish government has produced a “Question and Answer” document to support you at this time. This document covers some of the key questions that you will have regarding the safe reopening of schools and Early Learning and Childcare settings. This information has been published on the Scottish Government’s Parent Club website which can be accessed through the link below. We hope that this will help to answer some of your questions.

Thank You Isaac

Mrs. Irving would like to share this message for Isaac W.:

“I was overwhelmed this morning with the kindness of Isaac and his Daddy as they dropped some delicious home baking at my door. What a generous and thoughtful act of kindness! Isaac, you have brought a huge smile to my face. Scott, Eve, Coll and I all say a big thank you!”

How lovely to hear about such kindness in our community. Isaac, your baking looks absolutely delicious and we are sure that Mrs. Irving and her family will thoroughly enjoy it. You should feel very proud of yourself for being so thoughtful and kind.

Kyla’s Super Work

Kyla has been very busy at home doing lots and lots of arts and crafts which she is thoroughly enjoying. She has loved creating her own designs to decorate these stones which we think are beautiful. Watch out for these special stones if you’re out with your family as Kyla is planning to hide them when she goes out a walk.
Thank you so much Kyla for sharing a photo of your super work which we love and for being so kind in leaving your stones for other girls and boys to find. We hope that everyone has fun looking for your beautiful stones.

Tadpole Update

Do you remember Isaac W.’s tadpoles? Well, we’ve had an update on them from his family:

“Not much change in size at the minute just in colour. Will send in another picture when the back legs start to form. Isaac is doing a great job of checking on them and feeding them. 🙂. “

We will look forward to further developments Isaac. His family also liked the photos of their craft day:

“Fab pics, both Quinn and Isaac had great fun (so did Dad). Isaac said his is a water horse so does not need legs 🙂 “

We love your water horse and we can understand your thinking about the legs Isaac.

Isaac’s family also wanted to leave a message about our “Rhyme of the Week” video and Mrs. Kirkpatrick’s care of our planter.

“Love it. Well doone Coll and Mrs Irving 🙂” and “Excellent job Mrs Kirkpatrick 🙂“.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us comments. We all love to hear from our families so it’s much appreciated.

Support For Parents And Carers

You may have heard Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland, mention yesterday that the Solihull Online programme is available free to parents and carers to help them learn what their children may be going through at this time and to help develop nurturing and supportive relationships.

We would like to share a link to information on this below and would also draw your attention to some helpful links to Solihull Approach leaflets on the right of this page under “Useful Reading”.

As it is Mental Health Awareness Week, we would also like to share these very useful posters which provide clear and simple advice to support families during these challenging times and hope that they help everyone to stay healthy.

Mental Health Awareness

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme this year is kindness which is something we always focus on in Nursery. In these difficult times, it’s never been more important to be kind to our family and friends but also to ourselves, both adults and children alike.

We would like to share this short video from the Mental Health Foundation to remind us all to look after ourselves and others.

Refresh our page to watch video again.

Glad your enjoying the musical videos. We are looking forward to Mrs. Irving bringing in her accordion to Nursery to help us at singing time.
