Shaun from Greenock Morton visited us for a 4 week block of Mini Kickers on a Monday AM. Each week some of the children would visit the campus and participate in different football lessons with Shaun. This was great fun!
Making Music
During this experience the children selected from a variety of materials to construct a model they could then play. This then allowed them to describe various sounds that came from their instruments and also perform. The children laughed, watched and listened intuitively to their other peers playing their own music instrument creations.
We also learned about how to work a CD player, what it does and then chose from a variety of songs to dance to 💃🕺

Festive Fun
A little insight into what we got up to throughout the month of December..
Exploring light
As it now becomes darker earlier in the afternoon, we have been looking at ways to access the outdoor environment safely. The children have been given the opportunity to use different light resources such as torches to continue their play. The children investigated light and shadow through this experience.

Stick Man
In line with our story of the month ‘Stick Man’, some of the children went on a winter walk to the local woods to collect sticks to use for creative play back at the nursery. Throughout the week, some children created their very own stick man by using the collected sticks, natural materials such as leaves and flowers.
The children have listened to the story in different environments such as the campus library and the woods.
