The toddlers have spent this week learning about Scotland and St Andrew. We have made our own tartan designs, made flags with play dough and have used blue rice for mark making. We have tasted scotch broth made on the fire, oatcakes and potato scones. We shall finish the week off listening and dancing to bag pipes.

Music and Movement
This morning in the toddler room the children had great fun doing music and movement, every child picked their own instrument They each played and sang together very well experimenting with different rhythms; loud and soft, fast and slow.
The children enjoyed joining in with the Hokey Cokey and if You’re Happy and You Know It, great fun was had by all.
STORY TIME!
Children have been using a story sack ‘ The Animal Boogie’ and exploring about different creatures in the Jungle, what do they look like? and what they do in the Jungle?
The children have been learning about animal’s actions like leaping, stomping, shaking and flapping while looking different jungle’s creatures. They were creating their own animals and coping their actions. This way they were developing sensory perceptions by exploring, expressing and communicate ideas thoughts and feelings.
