A big welcome back to the returning children who are demonstrating their eagerness to be back at nursery ready to learn, explore and discover.  Through consultations the children have offered their ideas on which resources and experiences should be available for them to participate in over the coming weeks, suggestion have included baking, playing outdoors, building pirate ships and playing with train track.  ‘The Three Little Pigs’ story has captured the children’s interest in all areas of the nursery and inspired them to build houses using different materials.

To ensure our newest children feel happy and secure when settling into Shotts Family Learning Centre we have sought advice from the experts (our pre-school children) on how we can include them and make them feel welcome.  This has proven to be a great success as all children are beginning to build friendships and recognise the feelings of others.  Here’s a sample of some suggestions.
