This is really not the welcome we had hoped to be giving our families at the start of 2021!\u00a0 We are all feeling sad that we can’t all be back at nursery together, sharing Christmas experiences and catching up with everyone’s news.\u00a0 However, we are all very aware of the need to keep safe and protect ourselves and others from this awful virus, and with the vaccines starting to be rolled out in our community, hopefully it will not be too long till we\u00a0 are able to be together again.<\/p>\n

Our nursery is open for Keyworkers children and our staff are on a rota to work in the building.\u00a0 The remainder of staff are working at home on training and professional reading, as well as preparing online learning experiences which we will be posting on our blog and in our Learning Journals.\u00a0 We want to ensure that parents feel supported and give suggestions for learning activities to keep your wee ones busy, however we are very aware of the pressures on parents at this time.\u00a0 Our activities are completely optional and if you are feeling the pressure, working from home and home-schooling your other children, please do not feel you have to be constantly uploading photos or printing out resources for your nursery child.<\/p>\n

We are going to suggest 1 activity per week which we would love you to upload a photo of, to your child’s learning journal.\u00a0 This would allow us to keep in touch with your child and their learning and will be from three curricular areas, Maths, Literacy and Health and Wellbeing.\u00a0 The importance of Health and Wellbeing is paramount just now- for everyone in our nursery community.\u00a0 Our first week’s Learning Journal task is to ask your child to draw a picture of themselves wearing their winter clothes.\u00a0 We would love it if you could ask your child what they really like just now, and also what they don’t like.\u00a0 This will help staff in planning the activities they are organising to share on the blog.\u00a0 If you take a photo on your phone and then open your learning journal, it is easy to follow the prompts to upload your photo.\u00a0 If you have any difficulty doing this, or have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to email Kate on KCameron@milngavie.e-dunbarton.sch.uk .<\/a>\u00a0 Please remember – if this is too stressful this week – do not worry!<\/p>\n

Here is an example of Penny’s- she is my captive volunteer.<\/p>\n

If you do any of our activities or if your child makes or draws something they are really proud of we thought we could have an Art Gallery on the blog, to share our creations with our friends.\u00a0 If you would like to post a photo of anything you have been doing and are ok with it being on the blog, please just email it to Kate at the above address.\u00a0 You don’t necessarily need to put your child’s photo on if you don’t want to – even just their handiwork would be amazing.<\/p>\n

We will be posting different members of staff with their suggestions for a daily activity on the blog.\u00a0 We hope you enjoy all their posts. Please send us some feedback either on the blog or by email.\u00a0 \u00a0We would really appreciate hearing what you think.<\/p>\n

MEET A BRAND NEW MEMBER OF OUR NURSERY COMMUNITY<\/p>\n
