Hello boys and girls,

We have another busy week planned.  If you click on the ‘read along’ tab you can join Mrs Brown for a Teddy Bear Picnic story with lots of activities that you can complete afterwards.

It has been perfect weather for a picnic recently, so why not make your own ice lollies to take with you and your teddy bears? Mrs Brown has set the challenge this week – give it a go!  I wonder what kind you will make?

Smile Month and Butterfly Day

Hello Boys and Girls,

We hope you had fun with the scavenger hunt last week and enjoyed Mrs Brown’s bedtime story on Friday night.  If you missed it, don’t worry – you can watch it here.

We are in a new month now – the month of June.  June is national smile month so we have included some resources below that you could explore all about smiling and looking after those teeth 🙂 

Monday 1st June is also national Butterfly Awareness Day, so it is a great time to watch Mrs Smith’s butterfly video and make some paper butterflies if you haven’t had the chance yet.  We would love to see them.

Look what else is new this week:

  • You will find a letter from the Executive Director for Education and Convenor of Education in the “Moving to Primary 1” section from the main toolbar.
  • Mrs Blevin’s is reading us a story all about a birthday treat. There are lots of resources around months of the year and birthdays on the read-a-long page.
  • Mrs Martin has set the challenge this week – it is a science experiment. Head over to the weekly challenge page to give it a go.

Remember to keep in touch, share your work with us on Twitter and in the Nursery Zone and we will see you all soon.  Miss you lots.

Sleep Support

North Lanarkshire Council are offering support to parents, families and children who may be anxious, stressed, worried and emotional for themselves and their loved ones.

We recognise that these anxieties can greatly affect ‘sleep’ which is a natural process. We all need sleep and our health and wellbeing could be greatly reduced by not getting enough sleep, particularly at these challenging times.

To help cope with these stresses, support through SLEEP COUNSELLING will be offered to those in need and a qualified sleep counsellor will be at hand to answer questions, suggest ideas, offer visuals and strategies or even just be a listening ear to help reduce any anxieties to our parents and families that lead to poor sleep hygiene.

Please contact:

burnetc@northlan.gov.uk
NWicks@ea.n-lanark.sch.uk
MMurphy@ea.n-lanark.sch.uk 

or call 077538300446 for further details.

Educational Psychologist

The Education Psychology Service in North Lanarkshire is providing home consultation support to help manage stresses during this difficult time. Telephone: 01236 812380 between 10am – 3pm Monday to Friday and leave a message for someone to call you back.
