Wow the children have been clearly demonstrating their learning and development skills over the last week. They have been focusing on being healthy and active through their learning and play opportunities. We have been encouraging the children to think about having a healthy breakfast and lunch prior to arriving at nursery. The children have tasted a variety of new foods and used Carroll Diagrams to process their mathematical thinking. The children have been developing their movement and coordination skills through climbing, balancing and rolling.
Outdoor learning has been a popular choice for many of the children, some of who have learned to ride a pedal bike, what an achievement.
Mini kickers started this week for all the children and a huge thanks to the parent volunteers who have offered to give up their time to help safely escort the children either to or from Calderhead High School.
Sid and Shanarri have introduced the children to a new board game which takes the children through the well-being wood, encouraging them to think about their learning as they grow and develop. Remember to drop into the information session to find out how the children are using this literacy resource throughout their play.
Forest school sessions have recommenced with a number of learners joining Nicola, Mhairi and Shannon, learning outdoors in at Shotts Nature Park. Watch out for the new weekly Nurturing Nature Forest School Blog.
The joint play sessions with pupils and staff from Dykehead Primary School was a huge success, where the children spent time with their buddies learning together.
