Remote Learning- Healthy minds and bodies

Health and wellbeing is so important. This includes both physical health and mental wellbeing.

Why not start each day with some physical exercise, suitable for all the family.

Alternatively, perhaps some Cosmic Yoga may be more for you… we know this is a real favourite with our children in nursery.

Gonoodle is another favourite.

At a time when we are all experiencing uncertain times, positive mental health has never been so important.

East Renfrewshire Council has developed a guide, Healthier Minds, to promote the mental wellbeing of our children and young people. This resources aims to help you find the information you need to develop children and young people’s talents and abilities in a way that will support them to meet life’s common challenges, develop their resilience, and have healthier minds as a result.

Remote Learning

Following the Scottish Government decision to close schools and nurseries,  we have plans in place to make sure our pupils have every opportunity to continue their education regardless of the circumstances we may face.

We know that these are very challenging times for all of our families  and we would like to begin by sending our care, thoughts and best wishes to all of our families and the wider community.

We understand that many of our families will find themselves in very difficult and worrying circumstances over the coming weeks and months and do not want, in any way, to add to these emotions through creating any anxiety about learning activities that ‘must be done’ each day. With this in mind, the learning activities that we will be facilitating will be shared with an understanding that some of our children/ families will not be in a position to complete these activities each day.  We also acknowledge that spending time with your child in whatever ways are best suited to your family and to meet your child’s interests and stage of development will be most beneficial.

We have developed Home Learning Bags for each child to take home and a Home Learning booklet.

We will regularly update our website and Twitter with tips, games, challenges and ideas of ways you can support your child at home including links to educational websites.

 

STEM curriculum evening

Thank you to all the parents who attended our recent STEM curriculum evening and to the whole staff team for showcasing our learning and making this evening a huge success. Our parents loved trying out some of the experiences on offer and feedback was very positive and encouraging.

Great to see all the stimulating and fun activities and nice to talk with staff and parents.

So lovely to see the amazing resources and have a chance to meet other staff members – really lovely group.

Thank you for all the staff’s knowledge and expertise!

The resources were fantastic, in particular the technology.

Loved the ideas for playing and learning at home and seeing what children do at nursery.

I wish I could provide constructive feedback, but nope! The evening and it’s content was perfect! So much effort made! Such a shame more parents didn’t come along.

A foggy morning

Today as we came to nursery we were quite excited about the foggy morning.

Some of us read a story about fog.

When we went outdoors we easily spotted the spider webs because of the cold, foggy morning.

We went on a search for some more webs and discovered some spiders on the webs.

Come and see the spider’s web I found.” Jacob

”I want to see the spiders too.” Azan

The spiders are orange or black.” Jacob
