Already we have had our first full week of the new term and, as always, we\u2019ve had lots of fun in our learning. The ice cave has been very busy: furry rugs and sleeping bags, maps, hot water bottles and flasks seem to produce lots of imaginative role play. In the garden Jack, Finlay and their team\u00a0have been making lots of plans to build a tunnel to the Forth Road Bridge. They were having problems with their maps tearing outdoors but they seem to have resolved the problem so good progress is being made. We\u2019ve produced a wall display of winter collages and paintings and have been scientists testing raincoats for teddies and finding out about what happens to ice in different temperatures.\u00a0 We even had a visit from a lady who was teaching us about money.<\/p>\n

Our new children have done so well settling in to our busy Nursery and are beginning to follow the rules and routines. We hope that they continue to grow in confidence and have lots of fun in Nursery. As you can see here, some of them are looking very settled.<\/p>\n
