New Monkland Primary School & Nursery
Growing together through fun, happy and meaningful learning experiences where EVERYONE is HONEST, POSITIVE, KIND and treated with FAIRNESS and RESPECT —- We are a Gold Right’s Respecting School & Nursery and a Breast Feeding Friendly Establishment!
We have been very busy in the nursery, with lots of new children joining us for their first nursery year. We are starting off this year by learning more about our Rights Respecting Nursery Charter and about Ollie the Octopus our RRS mascot. We are also thinking about ways that we can be more independent in nursery, by learning our nursery routines. Below are some photos of some of the other things we have been doing.
Group 3
We went on a colour hunt on our way to the woods. We recorded the different colours on a special spotter sheet by using our own written marks, such as ticks, lines and crosses.
“I saw some pink flowers in a garden”.
“The berries are red”.
“I found cream rocks in someone’s garden”.
“I saw some white daisies on the grass”.
Some of us made wonderful houses for the giraffes, leopards and elephants. We used a tool called a rubber mallet/ wooden mallet to tap sticks into the ground to make the walls. It was very important that we used the tools safely.
“I hammered the sticks carefully so that they wouldn’t fall down. The leopard liked his new house”.
A fantastic den was created using ropes, pegs, fabrics and large sticks/branches. We worked well together to carry the branches safely and place them in a large pile to make a really big gate. Doesn’t it look great?
“Some of the sticks were heavy. My friend helped me to carry them”.
“I made a special gate with massive sticks. I have big muscles in my arms”.
A brilliant day down in Largs for our summer trip, the weather stayed dry. 🙂
The sun shone for us wohooooooooo!!!!
Primary 7 took part in the wear yellow walk today for St Andrew’s Hospice and we ALL certainly had lots of FUN in the SUN!
