I am sure you have all noticed one of our raffle prizes in the cloakroom at nursery, Olaf from Frozen.  We are also creating hampers using your donations, thank you. Please keep donating and remember tickets are on sale for £1.00 a strip.

I’m sure you would all agree that we had a lovely time on Friday at Summerlee Heritage Centre.
Sparkle took the boys and girls to meet Mrs Claus, who let them have a seat in Santa’s chair. They had a look at the Naughty and Nice Lists and we are very lucky at Cambusnethan to have such good boys and girls as everyone was on the Nice List!
The children also decorated Sparkle’s tree, drew some pictures for Santa and made a decoration to take home.
Santa even gave Mrs Claus an early Christmas present for all the boys and girls. Thank you to everyone who was able to come.

We had such an exciting day on Monday.

I’m sure the boys and girls have told everyone all about our special delivery.

Santa has sent a very special elf to the children at Cambusnethan nursery.  His name is Ernie and Santa says he can be quite mischievous.   He is here to make sure everyone is on the Nice List and to have fun with the boys and girls at Christmas time.  He brought all the groups advent calendars and every child a golden coin to celebrate the start of Christmas time and Advent.

We hope the children have lots to tell you about what Ernie the Elf is up to at nursery. 

What a wonderful day we had on Friday celebrating St Andrew’s Day.  Lots of children wore tartan, we did some Scottish dancing to some traditional music and we had haggis, neeps n tatties for snack.  Lots of boys and girls said they really enjoyed it.  We also had some shortbread, which was a lovely treat.

Thank you again to all parents and friends for donations, buying raffle tickets and most importantly supporting the children.

Thank you all for your help in making our St Andrew’s Day celebrations such a success. The children were fantastic as always.

This week will be an exciting week as we explore winter and Christmas.

We will also be collecting for our Christmas hamper. Remember we still need milk bottles.

Hi everyone, we are hoping to build an igloo for our winter learning experiences in the nursery. However we need LOTS of milk cartons. If you use 2 litre (4pint) cartons could you please bring us your empty cartons?
Thank you.

This week we will be learning all about St Andrew and the story behind Scotland’s patron saint.

We will also start selling raffle tickets for our St. Andrew’s Day hampers. We need volunteers to help us sell these at the start and end of the session. If you are available just speak to a member of staff.

Monday 24th: Today is the day for the morning Hedgehogs to go to the library. For this to happen we still need some volunteers. REMEMBER you don’t need to go with your child’s group, so if you are free and willing to help, it would be greatly appreciated.

We have been experimenting with musical instruments in the nursery.

We have been playing the instruments and deciding whether they sound like the weather we get at this time of year. So far we’ve heard rain, wind and even snow.

Here is the flapjack recipe we use at the nursery.

150g Oats
90g Margarine
90g Demerara Sugar.

Add 1 tablespoon full of syrup or honey if you wish.

Mix well and place in a small tray approx. half an inch deep.

Bake at 220 degrees centigrade for about 10 minutes until the flapjack is golden brown.

GOOD LUCK! 🙂

The ‘AM’ Hedgehogs will be going to the library on Monday 24th November and the ‘PM’ Hedgehogs on Thursday 27th November.

We require volunteers to be able to go on these visits. If you are able to come with us, please write your name on our sign up sheets in the nursery cloakroom. Thanks.
