During the month of March the children on a Friday have been enjoying experiencing Mini Kickers through East Renfrewshire Active Learning.  This provided the children with a chance to develop their gross motor skills with a focus on controlling a ball. The children showed great listening to the coaches instructions and were able to keep themselves safe when manoeuvring about the hall, showing really good spatial awareness.

Muddy March…even although it has been a wet month the children have been enjoying all the muddy puddles this has created in the garden.

We celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as our favourite characters and reading some of our favourite stories. The children then went on a scavenger hunt around the nursery to find characters from the stories. At nurture time we all got a book to take home to celebrate World Book Day. The book fair came to nursery and we welcomed our parents in for stay and play to have a look at the books and take part in some literacy activities.

At nurture time we have been developing our Numeracy skills using the number bean bags. We have been subsidising, touch counting and recognising numerals.

In the home corner there has been a shop set up and the children have shown an interest in money through playing with coins in context. Following the children’s interest of running a shop they made smoothies which they then sold to each other. We have then  continued this interest at nurture time and have been exploring coins in more depth discussing their colour, name and value.

Our awards this month go to…

Well done!

See you back here next month 🙂
