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.

Please note that there will be no normal session available on both of these dates as this is a whole early level playroom family event.

We hope that you will have a fabulous day out at the theatre.

Purves Puppets

Would you and you child or a responsible family member like to attend a performance at Purves Puppets in Biggar, the proposed dates would be on or around the 29th and 30th of November?

The cost of the performance would be £6 per person with the cost of the coaches being paid for from the recent fundraising event, or alternatively you can use your own transport.

Due to the timings of the shows it would mean that there would be no normal sessions on offer on these dates.

The times for each show would be 10.30 am for morning children and 12.30 pm for afternoon children

Further information will be available this week

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.
