We explored the flow of water and why it runs down the hill. Lots of great ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Playroom:<\/p>\n<p>Lots of role play in our nursery shop and cafe, buying and selling and making meals. We\u2019ve been learning about money and how we use it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Art area has been popular today with lots of mixing paints and experimenting with colours and liquids.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday:<\/p>\n<p>Outside: \u00a0There was a lot of bike and scooter play , children were managing risks and ensuring to make use of the space. We planted some tulips and peas around the garden , a lot of digging involved, we are exited to watch them develop.<\/p>\n<p>Playroom: \u00a0A very busy morning around the nursery , there was a lot role playing in our home corner , re-enacting home life situations by baking , \u00a0cleaning , shopping or looking after our brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n<p>Art area: We were making good use of our junk modelling area with a variety of creations using different sizes and shapes , figuring out ways to join them together.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday:<\/p>\n<p>Today we were learning about Chinese New Year. We had a story and listened to a film of a little girl telling us all about how they celebrate new year. We listened so well that we could answer questions about it and we learned how to say \u201cHappy New Year\u201d!<\/p>\n<p>Later we went to the beach. It was cold and windy but we had fun. We climbed rocks, collected shells and pebbles, threw stones in the water to check which floated and sunk, \u00a0and talked about our safety rules. We looked at different types of transport we could see and hear.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-734\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/01\/29122402\/IMG_4951-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/01\/29122402\/IMG_4951-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/01\/29122402\/IMG_4951-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/01\/29122402\/IMG_4951-rotated.jpeg 945w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-735\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/01\/29122704\/IMG_4956-300x127.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/01\/29122704\/IMG_4956-300x127.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/01\/29122704\/IMG_4956-1024x433.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/01\/29122704\/IMG_4956-768x325.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/01\/29122704\/IMG_4956.jpeg 1260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thursday:<\/p>\n<p>Today was gym day.
