Its a miserable, wet Monday but Maureen, who is on outdoor play this week, is our Outdoor Champion and last week, attended a course on Outdoor Play is taking groups of children out to explore the wonders of wet!\u00a0 One of our lovely students, Katie – has responded to the children’ s interest in hedgehogs – by creating a hedgehog feeding station for the children to put beside the hedgehog house, in the hope of attracting some of our spikey wee friends.\u00a0 The children will check it every day to see if the catfood,\u00a0 (which hedgehogs seemingly love,) has been eaten.\u00a0 Maureen really enjoyed her course and has come back with an Outdoor Play Audit Tool for us to use to see how well we use our fantastic outdoor learning environment.\u00a0 We are being encouraged\u00a0 see wet weather as a fabulous, sensory learning experience- a good plan when you live in the very wet West of Scotland.<\/p>\n
You should have been given a brown paper envelope containing a form for your child to design their own Christmas Artwork which can be printed onto Christmas Cards, Gift tags or mugs.\u00a0 This can either be done online, using the address and details in the envelope.\u00a0 Alternatively, your child can design their artwork and you can return it to Nursery in the big brown envelope ASAP!\u00a0 It has to be back with us by 26th October as this is the very latest that we can return it to the company for printing.\u00a0 The nursery will receive a donation for every order the company receives.\u00a0 The feedback in previous years has been very positive, but please, feel no pressure to take part in this – it is very much an optional activity.<\/p>\n
This week we are looking at a book called Stanley’s Stick by John Hegley.\u00a0 Our words of the week from this book are WONKY and TIDE.\u00a0 We have a new lightbox display in the hall to remind us of our words of the week.<\/p>\n
Thursday night is our Parent’s evening\u00a0 – if you would like an appointment, please sign up in the nursery hall.\u00a0 As this is our first parents night of the year, the emphasis is on how our\u00a0 children have settled in.\u00a0 We would love to hear about your opinion of your child’s learning journal and the things we have been learning so far this year.<\/p>\n
Nursery is closed on Friday for an In-Service Day – Staff have a packed schedule of training for the day.\u00a0 \u00a0 We are then on holiday for our October Week break, returning again on Monday 22nd October.\u00a0 We are really hoping for some beautiful, crisp,\u00a0 Autumn weather and would like to wish everyone a very happy holiday week.<\/p>\n
