Yesterday one of our Nursery Superstars – our amazing wee Ellis – completed an amazing feat. She undertook a sponsored Cycle of the whole reservoir- a huge cycle for a little person – in aid of the Nursery Garden Wall appeal, and she raised an absolutely astounding £166! Many, many thanks to Ellis and her family. This brings the total donated to our wall appeal now to £371. Look at the wonderful pictures of our wee cyclist in action.
This week in nursery we are planting some special trees at the back of our orchard. We are planting Rowans, willows and other fast growing trees in the back corner of the orchard to encourage even greater biodiversity in our orchard. Wednesday will be a day for wellies and digging. We will post the photos to show you our new wee forest.
Last week’s World Book Day was great fun and we had lots of great stories. Debbie brought in a magic wee light which projected photos of the characters from books onto the ceiling in our wee dark room. This was really popular with the children, who loved the special atmosphere of reading in the dark. We had great fun with book hunts in the orchard and the garden and really enjoyed celebrating the joy of reading and looking through books! We made Book Worm cakes and had them for snack and also ate our way through the fruit that the Very Hungry Caterpillar had scoffed in Eric Carles’ lovely book.
