Loose Parts

In response to our online appeal many parents donated items for our loose parts table. The table has proved very popular this week and has inspired many creative ideas. The Nursery team plan to develop this further and are looking at ways to introduce something similar to our outdoor area. The original idea came from a website the team often use called Stimulating Learning.

This weekend I have been reading about the theory of loose parts and if you would like to know more you can follow the links below:

Trip to The Burn of Lunklet

We went to the Burn of Lunklet because we are learning about water and rivers so we went there. First I noticed the fence posts put together under the bridge then Miss Breyley said they were pollution gates they make sure no pollution goes to the sea because some people might throw junk into the water. As we went up closer to the water fall the river got narrower and narrower as we went up. Then we looked over a bridge at the river. We threw some grass in the river we noticed that the water didn’t just go down it went in circles and then backward and then it changed speed as it went down river. We carried on doing it, it was fun then went went to the giant water fall it was so cool if you looked carefully then it looked a bit like a jungle in a river its mostly fresh water at the beginning and as it gets near the sea it is salty water. The river is tidal at the river mouth.

Food for under a Fiver!

The boys and girls in Primary 5/6 had their first practical food technology lesson on Friday. We transformed our classroom into a working kitchen. The boys and girls were learning how to use cutting techniques such as the bridge and the claw. Some of the class researched healthy menus using fruit for ingredients. The children chose to make a healthy fruit salad from an online recipe. The ingredients cost a total of £4.60 and Miller took orders from the class and he also served. Robbie did the dishes and Ewan helped him.

Next time we are going to cook a healthy alternative to a pot noodle.
