*Glowing in the Dark*
We are learning all about Light and Dark.
Today we played in our new Dark Den with torches and Glow-in-the-dark pebbles. We read “Shark in the Dark” in there.
Shaping Up
We are learning all about 2D and 3D shapes.
We have been making shapes outdoors with beans, peas and pipe cleaners.
“My favourite is the triangle.”
Shape
Currently our numeracy and mathematics focus is 2D shapes and 3D objects.
The children have been exploring this concept in lots of different ways in the nursery.
See if you can spot different shapes and objects at home and out and about. At lunch time we noticed that some of our sandwiches are rectangles and some are triangles.
I was posting shapes into the shape monsters!
We noticed that our outdoor number logs are circles.
We noticed that balls, or spheres, roll.
We can use different shaped objects to build. Shapes with round edges are harder to build with.
We decorated circle plates.
We used small cubes to build a mountain range and a pyramid. We love being creative in our maths learning!

First Week Back
What a happy first week of our new session at Busby Early Learning and Childcare Centre.
It was so lovely to meet all of our new pupils and families and to see our returners back for another year.
Many thanks to all families for helping us settle in the children to their new nursery routines and to our new staff who have joined our team so enthusiastically.
Here’s to an exciting year ahead.
**Welcome Back**
Welcome back everyone to a very exciting new term. We are looking forward to a fantastic year filled with lots of fun and opportunities to learn.
**Outdoor Opportunities**
We went to Pollok Park for our Summer trip this year. On our journey we visited Fairyland, climbed big hills, explored the wild woods, identified dinosaur bones and found various vegetables growing in the gardens. It was exciting to spot newts, tadpoles and dragonflies at the pond!
We have also been making the most of the good weather exploring and discovering in our playground and in the church garden.
“It feels all spiky…” “It’s a monkey puzzle.”
**Digital Learning**
Primary 6 have been sharing their learning with the Nursery.
Together we used Sphero Mini which is a robot that connects to an app on the ipad and walkie talkies.
We had to communicate instructions to each other to find the hidden object.
