Good morning – it’s Monday again and we are ready for another fun packed week!  This week we are learning about Scotland.  We’ll be looking at maps, listening to music, learning a dance, learning about some Scottish traditions and maybe even having a wee Highland Games- weather permitting of course.

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Maureen and Lynn are on a Forestry Commission Course to learn more about Forest Kindergarten.  On Tuesday Angela, Kate and Kirsten are taking a wee group to Barloch Moor for a Forest Kindergarten Session and the Forestry Commission are bringing a group of trainees to see what we get up to.

On Wednesday we are having a visit from the trainers from Going For Gold.  They are going to give us a very special gym lesson and give our staff lots of tips for planning exciting gym lessons in the future.

Thursday is a special day in Nursery too.  We are celebrating our national bard’s birthday  with a Burns Day Zoolab visit – a mix of poems and animals.  There is a cost of £3 per child for this – we are hoping it will be a really special and memorable Burns Day.

At group time this week we are going to be learning a wee Scots poem, doing a bit of dancing – our own version of the Eightsome Reel, and singing some Scots songs.
