Snack outdoors, whether it is by the fire or not, is always popular. The children love to help prepare their own food and there seems to be nothing tastier than a snack that you help to prepare yourself. Chopping, spreading and learning to stay safe near a fire are just some of the skills being developed and, as you can see, the children are always keen to join in.
Huge congratulations to our recent award winners. We are all very proud of your great start to our new year.
As we work on implementing the rules in Nursery as part of our Health and Wellbeing development, the “Word of the Week” this week will be ‘share’ as we help the children to understand what it means when we say that it is important to share.
The children have realised, through discussion, that rules are very important to keep everyone safe and happy. Here they are demonstrating our rules so that we can display them in Nursery as a reminder for everyone. I wonder who can remember the rules to tell their families at home?
Over the first few weeks of term we have been talking to the children about what rules we should have in Nursery and why so thought we would share some of their ideas.
Alisha: don’t put stickers on your face.
Archie: be good. Don’t run, just walk.
Cody: no pushing ’cause someone could bang their head.
Jasmin: no kicking.
Emilia B: we need to tidy toys.
Leo: we might trip if there’s stuff on the floor.
Finlay: we need to tidy up if it’s a mess.
Jack: no running. You might trip.
Remy: no pushing ’cause it’s not nice.
Emily M.: no shouting ’cause we can’t hear you.
Jessica: no shouting.
Kendall: you’ve got to walk.
Emily B.: you might hurt yourself if you run.
Layla: no running.
Leah: no hitting. We are friends.
We think that the children have put their thinking brains into action with these ideas. Well done boys and girls.

It’s great to hear that the children are happy which makes for happy families too. Thank you so much for visiting our blog and taking the time to leave us a comment. We look forward to hearing from more of our families soon.
Huge congratulations go to last week’s super award winners. We hope that you were very proud of your certificates as they were thoroughly deserved.
Just like the morning children, all of those in the afternoon have been taking the opportunity to enjoy investigating our outdoor area. They experienced their first fire last week when we tried out our new fire pit, which complements our well used fire area, and have particularly enjoyed the climbing frame and mud kitchen area of the garden. Here is a snapshot of some of the afternoon children busy in their play.
After last week’s kind donation of a twin buggy from former parents, one of our new families has now kindly helped us out with another two buggies which will allow all our younger children to go out into the community together to develop their learning on a regular basis.
Huge thanks to Macaulay’s family for being so kind and generous. This will be a fantastic addition to our Nursery and is hugely appreciated by us all. The children and staff are very excited to try out their new transport. Watch out for us out and about in Annan soon.
Please note that on the right hand side of this page, under “Support Information”, we have a link to “Guidance on Infection Control”. This has helpful details about NHS guidelines on any illness your child may have and the recommended time to stay at home prior to returning to Nursery. We hope that this is useful for all our families.
