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.
This week’s theme is BABIES!
When I was little I played a lot with my pram and I loved my new baby brother. I know you LOVE babies too!
When I phoned you last week, lots of you were playing babies. I wish I could have seen your babies. Which one is the tiniest? Which one is the sleepiest? Which one is the naughtiest? Which one goes in the pram all the time?
Have you ever carried your baby on your back? Do you remember doing that at nursery with Mrs Paterson? You could even carry your baby to the park! Will you put them on your back or front? I hope your baby’s not too heavy!
Here are some things you could play with your babies.
This week on the 21st of May it will be Outdoor Learning Day. Maybe you could try one of these activities outside on Thursday.
I think you know babies like milk!
Do you know why we need milk? That’s right, you remembered it has calcium in it to make our teeth and bones strong.
Thank you farmers for looking after the cows that give us milk and for growing the plants to give us plant-based milk!
Snack Time!
Why not try these milk and plant-based milk snacks! See if they make you stronger-can you do more press-ups now?
Now, here’s a FIZZY Science EXPERIMENT using MILK.
Maybe one day you will be a Scientist and help find cures to make people better!

Can you remember when you were a baby?
Look at your baby photos, or even mummy and daddy’s baby photos.
How have you changed? You are now much taller and I hear that some of you are nearly as tall as your big brother and that one of you has new Nike shoes that make you bigger!
Why not measure how tall you are and keep a growth chart?
Baby Animals
Play a baby animals game with your family. Ask them if they know the names of baby animals then get them to ask you. Here is a chart to get you started.
Finally, time for the loveliest story about babies. I like when Bill, the smallest one, says “I want my mummy!’
And how could we resit this song! Get dancing!
Benny the busy Puppy!
Benny has a sore paw!
He wants to play hospitals with his babies and toys.
If you are passing the school this Thursday on your walk, look out for a little present that Benny has painted for each of you. It will be on the wall outside the school and if you live far from Beattock, Benny will try to deliver it to your home.
See you all next week
