Developing an understanding of people and places in the local community

The children in the early level playroom are learning who and what there is in their local community who can help them.  They have written to Scottish Ambulance Service, Police Scotland, Strathclyde Fire Brigade and the Army to invite key personnel to visit them.

Do you or any of your family members work in these professions and would like to visit the children in the nursery to talk about your role?

A group of learners have been demonstrating their understanding of environmental print, by pointing out their address and signs in their local community as they plan their journey safely around Shotts.

On Friday 11th November the children will be having a visit from the Shotts Fire and Rescue crew with their fire engine, we have no doubt that there will be lots of excited children in the nursery.

Early observations have demonstrated that Friday’s Minin Movers with Rebecca from NLLeisure was a huge success. The children were learning how to use a steady count to 8 as they moved their bodies in time to the musical track from Jungle Book, Bear Necessities.  This programme will help to develop the children’s attention and listening skills, their use of early number and above all their health and wellbeing as they develop their movement skills.
