The children helped to create a new sun station in nursery where they can apply it themselves with adult support. Helping them with independence &amp; gaining knowledge on being sun safe. The garden has been busy with lots of role playing in the mud kitchen creating a burger restaurant, which encouraged most of the children to go &amp; try. In the nursery our junk modelling is very popular where some beautiful structures have been created.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-980 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/10134229\/IMG_0424-1-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tuesday 8th April<\/p>\n<p>We went to the beach today where we explored a different area. Some of the children were using the stones to build towers they used descriptive language when discussing the different sizes. They built bridges using sticks that were collected from different areas, they had fantastic teamwork &amp; negotiating skills to achieve their goal. Hill rolling was still a popular choice as well as some choosing to enjoy the beautiful views.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-974 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/09143505\/IMG_0440-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-975 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/09143511\/IMG_0441-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-976 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/09143847\/IMG_0448-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Wednesday 9th April<\/p>\n<p>The art area has been popular today where some of the children have been interested in forces with lots of discussion about how wind power and how it helps our daily lives. They made their own windmills and selected a variety of different materials to decorate them. At the snack area children chatted about what they like and don\u2019t like to eat, our snack today was very colourful which was prepared by one of the children.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-977 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/09145315\/IMG_0455-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-978 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/09145321\/IMG_0478-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thursday 10th April<\/p>\n<p>Another beautiful day in nursery with the children being busy throughout the session. \u00a0Some of the children have been exploring tip tap which provides opportunity to create a range of symmetrical pictures and patterns. In the garden there was lots of role playing detectives, as well has lots of relaxing in our shaded wigwam.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-983\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/10135846\/IMG_0479-225x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/10135846\/IMG_0479-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/10135846\/IMG_0479-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/10135846\/IMG_0479.png 945w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-984 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/10135851\/IMG_0483-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-985 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/10135857\/IMG_0482-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Friday<\/p>\n<p>Today whilst developing our hand\/eye coordination some of us demonstrated our designing skills by creating necklaces using a variety of different coloured, sized and shaped buttons. There was lots of mathematical language being used as well as estimation skills e.g. whilst deciding on how long the string should be to go around our necks. Some of us helped return some books to our local library where we engaged in some colouring activities before choosing some new books to bring back to nursery. \u201cWonky Donkeys my favourite!\u201d We had a discussion with staff and children to see how we could make more space for creating models\/structures in our garden using the outdoor blocks. We decided on moving the blocks and the writing bench to new areas of the garden and will monitor to see if the new areas are working well!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-987\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/11144922\/IMG_0492-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-988 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/11144924\/IMG_0491-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-989 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/fi\/public\/ferryport\/uploads\/sites\/14493\/2025\/04\/11144930\/IMG_0493-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday 7th April The sun is out making us all feel extra cheery.
