The boys and girls in the nursery are really enjoying learning lots of nursery rhymes. They have been busy exploring rhythm and listening to words that sound the same. Here they are acting out the rhyme ‘Miss Polly had a Dolly’. It was great fun!
We are learning all about nursery rhymes. This week we have enjoyed learning about Hickory Dickory Dock and Humpty Dumpty. We acted out our rhymes using puppets and props.
The boys and girls have been enjoying some delicious healthy snacks in the nursery this week. They prepared the potatoes and vegetables from the nursery garden for soup. It was very tasty!
The boys and girls in the nursery were very busy in the garden today. They harvested the potatoes and onions that they had planted in May. They worked really hard to dig them all out of the ground. We are all looking forward to making and enjoying some delicious soup and some mashed potatoes next week.

The boys and girls of Glenmanor Nursery Class enjoyed a very special day yesterday (Thursday 18 June). The preschool children had their graduation in preparation for their move to primary school.
It was an emotional experience for all the mums, dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles but also an emotional experience for all their teachers!
We wish them all good luck as they move to primary school. We will miss you all!
Our new Primary Ones’s had a great time at our transition event. They certainly know all their numbers. We can’t wait for you to join us in August.
Our new Primary One children had great fun during our active Maths transition session. I’m not sure if the new P1’s or their buddies enjoyed it more. We can’t wait until August.
After a very wet start to the day the nursery enjoyed a fantastic trip to Wellsfield Farm Park. The children enjoyed exploring the park and a great time was had by all!
