Songs, rhymes and stories are so much fun especially when you do it with your little one!!!!!!!!!!!              Our youngest children have had the opportunity to spend some time with the most significant people in their lives during these fun filled sessions.  Together they have sung, danced, cuddled and played while discovering the importance of nursery rhymes and song.   This weeks rhyme was an old favourite to start us off………’Twinkle Twinkle, Little star’ and as we had hoped all in attendance were very confident with this choice.  Following or songs and rhymes we were inspired to make some twinkly light up jars using glow sticks.   When the creativities were done we all enjoyed a ‘star’ influenced snack and some social time to chat with one another.

Wrapped up warm, the Sunshine Room children took to the nursery garden to develop their sense of touch as they explore the effects of the recent cold spell.

Children have been very busy these past few weeks using lots of different methods to problem solve from using objects to transport items around the nursery,  pouring and filling containers in the water tray and using a variety of bags and boxes to fit things into.

The children can be seen concentrating intently as their skills are developing through their play.

Donald where’s yer troosers?

Just got in fae the isle of Skye

I’m no very big and i’m awfully shy

The lassies shout when i go by

Donald where’s yer troosers?

Let the winds blow high,

let the winds blow low,

doon the street in ma kilt i go

all the lassies shout hello

Donald where’s your troosers?

Clapa clapa handies

Clapa clapa handies,

dadies comin hame,

sweeties in his pockets

for a good wee wean

Wee Wullie Winkie

Wee Wulie Winkie runs through the town,

upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown,

Tapping at the window and crying through the lock,

are all the children in their beds,

its past eight o’clock.

Dan Dan the funny wee man

Dan Dan the funny wee man

washed his face in the frying pan

combed his hair wae the leg of a chair

Dan Dan the funny wee man.
