Burns Day
On Friday we celebrated Burns Day with shortbread, tattie scones, oatcakes, cheese and, of course, Irn Bru. In true tradition some of the children even had a little taste of haggis, neeps and tatties and tried out some Highland dancing which was great fun. We appreciate our families making a super effort to provide the children with ‘a touch o’ tartan’ – we thought that they looked wonderful.
Congratulations
Very well done to the first award winners of 2019. You both look very proud of your certificates. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic Foam
It’s amazing what a tray of foam can provide in Nursery – you can make patterns, write your name, develop fine motor control and, of course, enjoy a wonderful sensory experience. This foam tray has been very popular in the Raindrop Room this week and has been a great social experience as new children and those who have been with us a while have got to know each other simply by sharing a calming, sensory experience.
Safe And Warm
A small group of children enjoyed our first fire of 2019 last week as part of their outdoor play. As always, the children listened well to stay safe and certainly enjoyed the delicious warm marshmallows that they toasted. Those large marshmallows seemed particularly popular.
Fun In Our Community
Family Baking
Towards the end of term Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, organised a family Christmas baking session which was an opportunity to try out the oven in our new room. It was lovely to see so many of our families take part and we think that you all made a good job of your biscuits.
Award Winners
Huge congratulations to our most recent award winners. We are all very proud of you.
Busy, Busy In The Sunshine Room
Our youngest children, in the Sunshine Room, have been busy in the lead up to Christmas making reindeer food and creating their own fireplace for their role play area. They showed concentration and perseverance as they worked away to produce some great work. The reindeer food will be coming home soon. We hope that Rudolph and his friends enjoy it.
Congratulations
