🌈Rainbow Boxes🌈
Team Flowerbank made the decision this year to donate the money they would usually spend on Secret Santa to help create Rainbow Boxes. 🌈
We raised £270 which was spent on a variety of items to be used within the COVID wards at Crosshouse Hospital including phone chargers, lip balm and body lotion.
Thank you to all our wonderful staff for your contributions to this good cause. 🥰

World Nursery Rhyme Week – Day 5
The final day of World Nursery Rhyme Week 2020 and we end the week with “Miss Polly Had A Dolly”. Very little is known about the origin of this nursery rhyme which is a fantastic action song and rich with imaginative role play ideas.
“Experts in literacy and child development have discovered that if children know 8 nursery rhymes by heart by the time they’re 4 years old, they’re usually among the best readers by the time they’re 8”. (Fox, M 2001, Reading Magic, Harcourt).
World Nursery Rhyme Week – Day 4
Welcome to the penultimate day of World Nursery Rhyme Week 2020! The first version of “Old MacDonald Had A Farm” appeared in 1917 and was originally called “Old MacDougal”. A very popular and engaging nursery rhyme, each verse tells the story about a farmer and the many different animals he looks after on his farm.
When children sing nursery rhymes, they explore:
The story structure of the verse (characters, plot, etc)
The fun of alliteration and rhyming
Listening to and memorisation of short verses
Language patterns
New vocabulary
Counting
