Welcome to the Red Group’s Blog.

We are your special keyworkers this year at Cross Arthurlie Nursery Class, our names are:

Mrs McFarlane, Mrs Sloan and Mrs McCluskey.

At the end of each month we will update these blogs with something you have took interest in, something new you have learned, or maybe it will be something that you have been really proud of.

We all cant wait to share lots of new experiences together as we learn and grow throughout this year.

During the month of August we have all been really busy settling back into our nursery routine, taking time to get to know our new keyworkers and also all of our new friends that have joined us. At the end of each day we spend some time all together. It has been wonderful having fun together as the Red group!

We got some photos on our first day back! Here they are…

 

Group time in the Red Group

This month we have been having a variety of experiences.

For our children who have returned from last year we revisited the colour monster book which was a firm favourite for many. We spoke about our feelings and what feeling each monster represented.

Our red group were all confident in answering out when they were asked a question, each child also waited really patiently for their turn to talk!

 

As we have spent time getting to know each other a little better we have been singing lots of songs and nursery rhymes together, we have lots of favourites but twinkle twinkle is requested most often!

Our new children have adapted really well to joining in with group time, every child knows that they are in the red group and are learning everyone’s name.

For our group time we decided to all chose an activity that we would like to do as a group.  We each took our turn in picking our experience,  also listening to our friends take their turn.

One of our choices was to use sand to draw… we practiced tracing some letters and making different marks in the sand using our fingers.

Stay and Play Days!

 

We had some very special visitors to our nursery!

Some of our grown-ups came to play and have a look around our nursery. It was lovely to see the children showing their special grown-up where they play and joining in with many of the experiences on offer.

See you in October!
