This month we have been looking at different types of technology. We investigated what makes things go/work e.g. wheels, electricity, batteries, wind, water etc.
We enjoyed identifying, counting, playing with and using money. We made a shopping list, found out prices and paid for items on a visit to Scotmid. We created a cake shop in nursery, made a price list and took turns to be the shopkeeper and customer.
We used google maps to find places we know in our local area; identifying the Post Office, the sweetie shop, the hairdressers, the pub, the cafe, the chip-shop, Lidl, Greggs, Tesco, Doctors, Butcher and Chemist! We used our new iPad to video and take photos of shops/places on our trip.
We had a daffodil tea where children entertained our visitors with some songs and gave them a lovely bunch of daffodils. The catering staff made us biscuits and cakes which we enjoyed with tea, coffee or cartons of milk.
The parents group arranged for the Easter Bunny to leave us some delicious Chocolate Eggs…yummy!
We were the first group to ever take up the Rice Relay Challenge for the charity Scottish Love in Action, and have raised over £900 to help feed, clothe, house, educate and provide medical care for 600 destitute children in the Indian State of Andhra Pradesh.
