Hello!
Welcome to our weekly nursery blog! It won’t be the same as seeing you in the nursery, but we hope it cheers up your week with some ideas of things you can try at home. There is a special Parents’ section at the end with the latest news on nursery reopening.
This week’s theme is ROBOTS
as well as SINGING and DANCING!!!!!
Have you ever pretended you were a robot? It’s fun moving and talking like a robot. There are real robots that help build things and help NHS doctors and nurses to get people better. Isn’t that amazing!
Engineers and scientists program and make real robots.
If you were an engineer what would your robot look like and what would it do to help people?
Delicious robots you can EAT!!!!!
After being such a helpful robot you deserve a robot snack! Miss Murray and Miss Musiej say these snacks are not made of metal!!!! Phew!
Time for Miss Musiej’s COOK SCHOOL
If you’ve just had a birthday or have a birthday coming up very soon, Miss Musiej has made a special birthday hedgehog! Click on the title below to see this yummy party recipe. You could help to chop the fruit and veg-you were all so good at making snack at nursery.

I am a Robot Song and Dance
Do you like singing and dancing?
Why don’t you learn a new song to sing and record yourself singing and dancing? Here are some of your nursery friends and Miss Murray singing the songs they’ve been learning. ENJOY!!!!!!!
Remember at nursery you used boxes to make robots as well as for lots of other things? Boxes are great fun.
Finally, here is a story about a cat called Ginger and a special box!.
Benny the Busy Puppy
Benny is really interested in robots because they are silver, metal and shiny. He has made a collection of all the silver and shiny and metal things he could find in the house. Why don’t you?
Check out Benny’s funky robot dance!

Welcome to Moving on Monday Club
especially for nursery children moving on to Primary 1.
We’ll be here every Monday to share activities, ideas and challenges to help you get ready for P1.
Can you RECOGNISE numbers?
Learning to recognise numbers is a practical skill that lasts a lifetime. It’s good if your child can show an interest in numbers, such as ‘my age and my door number’.
Games and play are the best ways to learn numbers.
Numbers are all around us. Look around your house-you will see lots of numbers on clocks, phones, recipes, magazines. Where else do you see numbers?
OUTSIDE your house there are lots of numbers too.
Here is a wee quiz. Look at these numbers around Beattock.
Can you spot them?
It’s great that your child can count and recognise some numbers. These are super skills. Even more important though is that your child learns something called 1:1 correspondence. This is when you use your finger to touch objects as you count. It’s like slow motion counting!
Here is a video for parents.
Some of you will have children who can count really well. Here is another skill that we learn at nursery and Primary. It’s called SUBITIZE! Pronounced Soobitize! Here’s a catchy song. A great way to learn to subitize is to play games with a dice.
