We have been having lots of fun using our five senses to explore and describe popcorn! We listened to the popping sounds as it was cooking and smelled the delicious aroma when it was ready. Then we looked and touched the popcorn before the best bit,tasting the different flavours!

This week we have started our new planner and are learning about the 5 senses. The children tasted some delicious fruits and talked about which senses they were using. The children tasted mango, kiwi, orange, carrot, dragon fruit, black berries, lemon and limes.

Today we were exploring our senses while making play dough and gloop. The children had fun using their touch sense to feel and described how it felt.

We had a great time sharing our learning with invited guests today. Â Thank you to everyone who who came along to our Enterprise event this morning.
As well as all the laughs and smiles, there were a few tears too as Mrs Garvie left Stepps Primary and Nursery after many happy years teaching the boys and girls here.  We wish her every success in her new post.

We are always delighted to hear your feedback about our school and nursery.  We have been working hard over recent weeks to make our new website informative for you, our parents.
Thank you for the recent suggestion to include a link to your Learning Journals here, on our Nursery Home Page.
We added it immediately and hope you find it useful.
Any other suggestions to make the website more user friendly would be gratefully received.

While learning about shapes, Miss McGuire helped the children to make their very own pizzas using the shape cutters. The delicious smell travelled up the corridor to Mr McKeever who was looking for a takeaway for his lunch!

The children have been enjoying learning outdoors despite the rain, snow and wind! They’ve been using our outdoor boxes to enhance their outdoor experience. In the photographs below, they are using the resources in our rainy day box to learn about, measure and experiment with rain. The resources on offer included pipettes, food colouring, paint, plastic tubs, funnels, pipes and umbrellas.

The children have been thoroughly enjoying their Tae Kwon-do sessions every Monday since returning to Nursery in January. They’ve been learning a variety of different kicks, punches and protection movements. As well as developing their gross motor skills, these sessions have also provided an opportunity for the children to develop their listening skills and practise linking a series of instructions together.
