Word Of The Week
Our “Word of the Week” is ‘healthy’ in the Rainbow Room while the Raindrop Room has chosen ‘included’ as their focus word.
Rhymes And Stories
The theme at Thursday’s “Rhyme and Story” session was spiders. Parents and children enjoyed sharing words beginning with S, listening to a special Incy Wincey spider story, singing/saying spider rhymes and bouncing our spider puppets on our lycra ‘parachute’.
These sessions for Nursery families are run by Mrs. Eileen Johnstone, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, and Mrs. Jen Carruthers, Nursery Nurse, who welcome younger siblings too. Please see staff for details if you would like to join them.
Library Day
As part of our focus on reading, we are running a library on a Thursday morning so would be delighted if the children chose a book to borrow for the week. If you do not attend on a Thursday please speak to staff and we can arrange a different day for you to swap your book.
Word Of The Week
“Emotions” is Word of the Week for the Raindrop Room this week while the Rainbow Room will focus on “floating” and “sinking”.
Pumpkin Investigation
The Raindrop Room children investigated the contents of a pumpkin last week as they planned to decorate it for Hallowe’en. With various options of facial features, the children used tally marks to have their say about their preferences then took turns to empty the pumpkin contents and discuss their findings before their pumpkin was carved.
Word Of The Week
With Bonfire Night approaching, “Word of the Week” in both rooms will be ‘safe’ this week.
Pumpkin Investigation
Some of the children in the Rainbow Room have been investigating the inside of a pumpkin.
Leigha: it feels like slime. The seeds are sticky.
Danielle: it’s cold.
Emmie: it’s soft.
Isaac: there’s so much inside there.
Arthur: the seeds turn into pumpkins.
Euan: it feels like seaweed.
Lily: it’s soft.
Alex: it feels like slime.

Our “Word of the Week” this week in the Rainbow Room will be ‘graph‘ while the Raindrop Room will use ‘Hallowe’en’ as their focus.
Outdoor Adventure
The nature area at the front of the school provides a great opportunity for a little adventure as part of our day in Nursery. As well as building confidence in the wider school environment, the children love visiting this super outdoor area be it for a story, a game or simply to explore nature to investigate the signs of the changing season.
