Tinkering Table

“Tinkering fuels a child’s natural curiosity about life.  It develops fine motor and manipulative skills, promotes the language of skill, higher order thinking, problem solving and conceptual understandings the children discover as they tinker.

Tinkering provides opportunities to pull apart, to investigate, to plan, to rebuild, redesign and to construct”

The children are looking for donations of old clocks, radios, small electrical appliances for them to tinker with at the newly installed area in the nursery

Purves Puppets

The coach will leave at 9 am prompt and return at approx 1.30pm on both Tuesday 29th and Wednesday 30th of November. 

Please bring a small drink and snack for you and your child to have during the interval.

The performance will commence at 10.30 am. There is no food nor drink allowed in the theatre.

Book Week Scotland has got off to a flying start in the nursery!  The children responded very well to the staff and pupils of Dykehead Primary School, quickly forming relationships and listening attentively to the stories they had brought with them.

Whilst others participated in Story Yoga, learning new movements to go alongside the story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ before finishing off with a massage to the rhyme ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’.

Thanks to some of our parents we were able to have an outing to the local library where a group of children got to borrow a book of their choice, please speak to your child’s key worker if you would also like to join us in our celebrations!

The shelves in our Book Swap Shop are filling up, so if any of your family have any old books they would like to trade in please bring them along and you can exchange them for  a new exciting read.
