We are looking forward to 4 fun packed days in Nursery this week, ending with a staff inservice day on Friday, when nursery will be closed.  Next week is the October Week holiday and nursery opens again on Monday 23rd October.

This morning we are going to Cairns Church with the school for the Harvest Service.  Judit is also coming in to teach us some more Spanish words.  FABULOSO!

Tuesday is Forest Kindergarten day and Maureen, Angela, Kate and Lynn will be taking to the woods with 2 groups of children.  Fingers crossed for a lovely autumn day!

This week we are asking the children to draw a line drawing of themselves at homebase time.  It is always lovely to see how children’s drawings progress while they are at nursery as their motor skills develop.  A line drawing is a wee snapshot in time.  These will go in the learning journals so you can see them too!

If anyone is having any difficulty accessing their child’s learning journal, please speak to Kate and we will get it sorted out.  The feedback so far has been really positive – many thanks for this.

On Friday all our staff are attending an inservice at Lenzie Meadow Primary School in the morning.  In the afternoon we are working on making our nursery a Communication Friendly area for all children.  This involves making resources more accessible with increased labelling and more child friendly, pictorial signs for children around the building.

Happy Holidays for next week!!
