Chinese New Year

We have enjoyed some Chinese food for snack this week as part of our celebrations for the Chinese New Year.

“I don’t like the noodles but I like the rice.” Naomi.

“It’s good and yummy.” Marnie.

“I don’t like the stir fry. My daddy likes stir fry.” Euan.

“Lovely. I want some more. It’s delicious. I don’t like the corn.” Matthew.

Construction

We design and create all sorts of models in the construction area. Recently we have been making enclosures for animals and ourselves!

As we play we use measuring skills.

We work with others and develop our problem solving skills.

We develop our mark making skills as we plan what we are going to construct. 

 

Snack time

We are all involved in planning and preparing our snacks. We are supported to make healthy choices and we have fresh fruit and vegetables each day.

 We set the table and prepare the food and drinks.

Last week we made clootie dumpling  for snack as part of our Burns celebrations.

Today we made our own salad sandwiches. We put spread on our bread and chose our salad filling.

 

 

 

Supporting Loss, Grief and Bereavement

Loss is a common occurrence which affects individuals in very different ways.   Loss is most often considered to be a negative or painful process and one which requires time, space and the support of others to aid recovery.  This is especially true for loss suffered through death. Regardless of age, the experience of bereavement is significant and can be life changing.

The following leaflets are designed to support children and families facing loss, grief and bereavement. Further advice and resources are available from staff.
