Nurture and Nature Family Learning Programme
We enjoyed our first visit to the woods with our families, participating in the Learning through Landscapes, Nurture and Nature Family Learning Programme . We tried out a variety of activities in the woods and even had a picnic. It was great to be able to talk to each other, hearing the children’s ideas and sharing childhood memories.
We hope to offer this regularly going forward, so watch out for emails and newsletters advising.#LTL
Mini Master Chefs
Mini Master Chef is a new East Renfrewshire incentive to encourage young people, to try new foods and produce in new ways. The children will have the opportunity to participate over this week. Today we touch and tasted vegetables, we made coleslaw, soup and cheese and carrot flapjacks.
Woodland Walkers
We had a gorgeous morning in the woods today. It was a cold and crisp day but the sun was shining. We chilled in the hammock, we cooked up a storm and we looked at moss and bugs under the magnifying glass. We even found a space rocket that had crash landed in the woods with moon rock aliens aboard, we then showed them around the woods and have brought them back to nursery to help repair their rocket!
World Book Day
We were very lucky today to have had a visit from P6 and Miss Anderson. Miss Anderson is an author and has written the story of ‘Tallulahs’s Summer Holiday’. The children read the story and Miss Anderson kindly signed and gave the nursery a copy of her book to keep.
Teddy Bears Picnic
Following on from our trip to Asda yesterday, we made sandwiches and had our teddy bears picnic listening to the story ‘This is the Bear who had a Picnic Lunch’ once more.
some of the sandwich photos are from yesterday also.
A trip to Asda
Some of the children had enjoyed the story of ‘This is the Bear and the Picnic Lunch’. A mind map was then made together and we decided to walk to Asda to buy the shopping. We wanted cheese sandwiches, PomBears and watermelon juice.
The children walked down and loved watching a roofer fixing a roof, waving to the Bus driver and watching the refuse collectors empty the bins. In Asda they all looked for the items on the shopping list and added them to the baskets. We even met one of our lovely mums at the checkout who helped us put our shopping through and pack away into our bags. After lunch we made some cheese sandwiches and enjoyed having another wee ‘blether’. A huge thank you to all the staff and customers at Asda for making us so welcome and a huge big thank you to Mrs Kelly for joining us.
Exploring
Today we put on our wellies and went off to explore the woods and the far end of the play ground. We did all of our Forest Kindergarten checks and then off we went.
We also took part in some number activities as well as identifying upper case letters and thinking of words that start with that sound.
An added bonus was that Miss Dixon had found a frog which she brought over to show us before she put it down near the burn to be safe.
