And so the learning continues

The arrival of the fairy folk has certainly inspired the children to develop their creativity skills as they planned and designed their fairy house, smurf and army barracks “as the fairies needed soldiers to protect them.”

Two of the parents who recently completed the Nurturing Nature Forest School sessions have planned to enhance the outdoor learning by designing some pieces of furniture.  Watch this space or pop into the garden to see how the areas are developing.

Bookbug what a giggle………..

Over the course of the week the children have celebrated Bookbug Big Giggle week by taking part in various reading opportunities in and around their local community.  Parents also took the opportunity to join in the children’s 3 Read to Nurturing Early Readers group, before setting of with their child to the local library.

The story which gave the some of the children the biggest giggle was The Dinosaur that pooped a planet by Tom Fletcher and Dougie Pointer.

 

We welcomed senior pupils from Calderhead High School and pupils from Dykehead Primary School who spent time reading with the children in the nursery.  It was lovely to see the Primary 6 pupils most of whom had attended the nursery in the past and were able to confidently share their experience of being a nursery child.  The pupils were a credit to the school, who will all make excellent buddies to our children leaving in June.

Residents from Rosehall Care Home enjoyed their visit from Bookbug too, where the children shared a few of their favourite stories.

We hope that Bookbug Big Giggle has demonstrated that books can be enjoyed anywhere at anytime.
