Good morning- we have another busy, fun packed, week of  learning ahead in nursery.  We are looking at signs of Sping, which are suddenly all around us.  There was great excitement  this morning when we spotted a deer in the orchard!  Frogs are regularly seen in the garden – who knows what else we will see today!?

Our SFA coaching session is on today for our pre-school children.

On Wednesday – green and yellow am groups are going to the gym, and all our pm sessional children.

On Friday our Forest Kindergarten sessions are taking place on Barloch Moor for the children who went last Friday.  We were lucky – the weather stayed dry and we had great fun setting out our boundaries and exploring the woods.  Fingers crossed for another lovely day on Friday.  Please could we dress warmly with extra socks, gloves and hats as the weather is still chilly and hours of being outside require layers of warm clothing!

Our learning focus this week is on number recognition – numbers 1-5.  We will be displaying numbers in all areas of the nursery, matching the numbers first, and learning their names, then going on to number washing lines where we can practise sequencing them.  Although some of our children can do this, it is always good to consolidate our knowledge and really embed good number knowledge and we are going to have fun doing it!

Word of the week, this week is “Environment”
