Over the month of May we were delighted to be able to welcome some of our families to ‘STAY AND PLAY’ with us at nursery! The Green Group had lots of fun showing their family around the playroom and nursery garden. They explored all their favourite areas and shared these with our visitors.

 

 

The children enjoyed a fun filled sports week, enjoying lots of amazing activities from potted sports, races, cycling and dancing. The green group worked really hard and we are very proud of all of them!!

 

 

 

The children have returned to nursery happy and full of beans after their Easter Break… I hope you all enjoyed some fun family time and lots of yummy chocolate eggs!

There has been lots of creativity going on in the green group during our time back at nursery. The children help to make playdough each day, they follow the recipe and are amazing at taking turns when following each step.

They have been demonstrating amazing fine motor skills during these creative experiences.

The Children enjoyed some fun activities during Earth Day! They discussed what we need to do to keep our Earth safe. They enjoyed making their very own Earth and took part in some dancing.

 

The children have been busy practising different skills for our up and coming Sports Week. We are so excited that our families are able to come and join us for this!

 

In the art area we have been developing our fine motor skills and our concentration when sewing.

Exploring the water is always popular. Recently the children have been developing their mathematical language for volume. They would confidently discuss if their container was full, nearly full, empty, nearly empty or half full. Excellent work everyone!

 

Drawing upside down was really fun!

A little show and tell from the Easter break. It is lovely to hear the children share their experiences with the adults and their friends.

It was lovely to receive a post card from holiday  and then come and tell us all about it.

 

 

 

February has been a busy month for the Green Group, filled with lots of exciting experiences. Some of the children have been developing their Gross motor skills at our sessions in the gym hall with Mr Fleming. We have been learning to take turns, balance and jump carefully from the bench or the gymnastics horse.

The children have also been introduced to some of the Froebelian Occupations – Sewing, Paper Pricking and slat work. Through these experiences the children have been able to demonstrate amazing creativity and have also been developing their fine motor skills and hand eye coordination.

Happy New Year from the Green Group! We hope you all had a lovely fun filled Christmas and a happy start to 2022.

The children in the Green Group have been very busy at the start of this new term. They have enjoyed exploring our nursery hair salon and taking on the different roles of the customer and the hairdresser.

The children have been enjoying following the instructions from a recipe and making some tasty things to eat and drink. The children  voted to make ‘Minion Smoothies’. We chopped some bananas and counted out our blueberries and added our milk carefully before blending together into our yummy smoothie!

 

The children also enjoyed making delicious Scottish shortbread for ‘Burns Day’ – measuring out the ingredients and mixing them together. The children were very patient when waiting for their turn to measure or mix.

 

 

We have also been learning some self help skills during our nursery day.  The children have been washing their own glasses and plates before they get put in the dishwasher. The children are also encouraged to be responsible for dressing themselves for outdoor play.

 

 

The Green group had great fun with their families at our Christmas market.

  

Some of the boys and girls helped to make yummy potato scones for us to have as a special snack. We also enjoyed some delicious hot chocolate too!

We were also very lucky to have a visit from Santa to our nursery garden.

We enjoyed some popcorn and a Christmas movie on our last day before the holidays.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas, stay safe and have lots of fun! Love Miss Allison x

 

The Green Group have had a very busy November, with lots of fun and learning going on throughout the nursery.

     

 

 

Some of the Children enjoyed making yummy bread rolls. They used there numeracy skills to weigh and measure out the ingredients. The children were also developing there fine motor skills when kneading the dough.

       

We were so excited to be able to spend sometime in the gym hall each week with the active school coaches. They helped us work on our listening and cooperation skills during the active games we played. One of our favourites was ‘Shark attack’

 

    

      

       

The children have also been busy preparing for our first ever Christmas Market. You will love all the special items we have made.
