Well Done to the Garden Bubble who used their creative imaginations to create this fabulous house out of cardboard boxes.

The children discussed what aspects of a house they needed…..they planned, designed and constructed the house as part of a team.

It even has been decorated inside with wallpaper.

Keep an eye out for their next creation coming soon. 🌟🌟🌟

🌿Outdoor Learning 🌿

Can we please remind all Parents/Carers to provide waterproof clothing and wellington’s DAILY for your child as the children are outdoors everyday and in all weathers.

It is Scottish Government Guidance that children are outdoors daily and children will require a change of clothes daily in their bag (including socks please).

We do not have the availability of outdoors suits unfortunately due to covid restrictions.

Thank You.

We would like to make everyone aware that our normal operating hours of 8am – 6pm resume as of Monday 17th January.

Thank you to everyone that has been affected by the reduced service and we appreciate the continual support from our families.

Have a lovely weekend everyone. ☺️

Yesterday the Butterflies had a special visitor. 🕷

Maggs brought in her Christmas Present which was a Peruvian Dwarf Red-Leg Tarantula called ‘Itsy’.

Itsy came to visit the children who have recently shown an interest in developing their knowledge of insects and arachnids.

Itsy still has a lot of growing to do so Maggs will update the children as Itsy develops.

Here is a copy of our updated 3 weekly rotated Lunch Menu’s.

We are currently on Week 3 🍽.

‼️Parent/Carer Information‼️

We will be maintaining the reduced service into next week as stated below due to staff availability.

Please remember that “9am-3pm” are those children who arrive between 8.40am & 9am and those drop off/collection times have not changed.

Thank you for being patient during this time.
