This week all families arrived motivated and excited to engage in some new opportunities to learn within Shotts Nature Park . The addition of the new trolley proved a huge success with all parents/ carers  and children taking on the responsibility of pulling , pushing and at times jumping in the trolley.  Walking to the learning circle allowed the families to explore a new area of the park , exploring the Gruffalo woods with torches as there was lots of discussions and questioning  as to  what creatures might live in the woods.              Who knew what amazing chefs we have as we all worked together to make pizzas on an open fire , this was a first for many of the families and proved a huge success for hungry tummies. There was always time to visit the cafe for hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows and  was great to observe the independence skills of the children as they prepared their own drinks.   I am still not sure who won the game of hide and seek as the families found very interesting places to hide and certainly used up all the space available to them.    Looking  forward to next weeks session where we will be using hammocks and ropes , I wonder what we could possibly do with these resources.??  Nicola , Pamela & Elaine x Continue reading Nurturing Nature Family Forest School sessions →

Nurturing Nature Family Forest School Sessions

Image Leave a comment

The Nurturing Nature Family Forest School Sessions commenced this week with 100% attendance from all families that participated. There were opportunities for pond dipping and fishing and it was lovely to observe some lovely interactions between parent/carer and child with some very interesting pond life creatures being caught, especially surprising as the pond was initially frozen over with ice and snow.  We had the opportunity to explore the forest and found a secret entrance into the woods where a secret cafe was discovered that offered hot drinks and biscuits to heat us up before working together to gather various different sizes of sticks to build a fire.  On return to nursery it was lovely to hear such nice feedback from both adults and children of the enjoyment they had within these sessions. Next week on offer will be storytelling , Gruffalo hunting and pizza making , looking forward to it .

“Whatever Next” Story Massage session

Leave a comment

Thank you to everyone who attended todays sessions your support is greatly appreciated as these Family learning oppertunities can not happen without you!

8 Families attended todays sessions where everyone’s wishes were respected and listened to as children were asked “is it ok if I give you a Story Massage?”  As the nurturing Story Massage took place and the children began to relax with each stroke you really could have heard a pin drop and as you can see from the photographs how relaxed the children are.

Children then went off in their very own rocket to fly to the moon where they had a delicious picnic with the bear while the parents created their very own fantastic Story massages to share at home with their Children.

In the afternoon some of the children helped to create their very own Story massage and were very much included in choosing the strokes and some of the words too.

Well done everyone!
