We can’t believe June is here already it’s been such a quick year.

It’s been a busy month with our pre-school children having their school visits and preparing for their Moving On celebrations…we can’t wait for you to see our show.

We also had some very special, very cute visitors in the nursery.

Our chick eggs arrived at nursery last week and within 2 days the chicks had hatched. We let them settle in for a couple of days and then had the opportunity to gently hold them if we wanted to. They are so soft and fluffy.

 

Here are some of our last day at nursery pictures…

1. 

Mrs McKie and Mrs Sloan are so proud of you all and we look forward to seeing you in your school uniform looking so smart.

Thanks for a great year Green Group and have an amazing time over the summer. We will see our returners in August and for our children moving on please come back and visit us 🙂 xxx

We’ve had another busy month in the green group, learning lots of new skills and developing our previous knowledge with friends. From following a recipe to discussing our favourite characters in a book…

…from exploring number to creating and constructing, we’ve been very busy indeed.

During Nurture Time we have been developing our fine motor skills and the little muscles in our hands and fingers. These types of experiences help us when we’re ready to hold a pencil…writing in the sand, brushes in shaving foam and moulding with playdough.

Project Teddy Bear

Since August the children have been collaborating on a project… making their very own Green group teddy bear.

Children have all taken a role, either big or small, whatever they have been interested in doing.

Some children have decorated a patch of the teddy bears material, some have stitched these patches together, some stuffed the teddy bear and some children have even used the sewing machine to make bags and pillows for the teddy.

This has instilled a feeling of accomplishment and ownership in the children as they have thoroughly enjoyed creating and playing with all four of the groups bears.

We are now in the process of voting for our bear…

I wonder if little bear will be named

Broccoli, Evergreen or Monkey? 🐻🧸

 

Thanks for another fun filled month at Cross Arthurlie Nursery.

Love from Mrs McKie & Mrs Sloan xx
