Today the children all did fantastically well performing in front of the school and nursery’ s parents/ carers. Well done everyone!

Today children looked lovely wearing their Christmas jumpers. They also enjoyed a traditional Christmas dinner with all the trimmings! A big thank you to everyone who donated to the Food bank collection.

Reminder: Friday could children please wear a plain white t shirt with dark leggings/ trousers

Last week we had our Stay and Play sessions, everyone had a lovely time. Today children were practising their Nativity songs on the gym hall stage.

Today children had lots of fun relating to the theme of Christmas. They made Christmas cards, played a Christmas tree game, sequencing the Christmas story, using picture prompts, made their own Advent calendar and we even had snow in the water tank! Children chose their own snack of ham and cheese sandwiches.

STAY AND PLAY tomorrow at 10.45 and 3.00 for 1 hour. Hope you can make it.

Yesterday children were busy making some green Christmas play dough, making a tree, writing letters to Santa and enjoying dressing up in our Nativity costumes.

PLEASE NOTE Could parents please dress their children in a plain white t shirt ( no logos please) and dark trousers/ leggings for the Nativity show on the 15 th December. Thanks

Today children were learning about the Christmas story and practising their drawing skills by drawing pictures from the Nativity. They were also practising their Christmas Nativity songs with the P1′ s in Mr Keirnan’ s class. Outdoors was very icy this morning so we only went out this afternoon. Children found more potatoes in our garden and enjoyed trying to find ways to break up the icy puddles.

Today for group time, children had a gingerbread person to decorate. When they finished it, they ate it for snack. They were yummy! We also had a ‘drink all your milk carton’ challenge. Well done to all those who managed to drink it all!

Children had a lovely time helping to decorate our Christmas tree. We also went on a tree hunt outdoors and were playing with our new basketball net. At group time we were learning to recognise some of the letters in our names and practising our mark making.

Today children were able to use our new and exciting ‘ reading loft!’ It is to encourage children to ‘ read’ more stories by having a fun space to do this in. Underneath the loft there is a closy space where children can  play with small world toys to use their imaginations to create their own stories!

We have also started a ‘ marble’ reward system where children have to try and win marbles from the teachers and when they have filled up their jar and won all the teachers ‘ marbles, they win a reward. We said that the ‘ reading loft was their  special reward this time ( but nebxt time it won’t be something as big!)

For snack children had wraps with ham/cheese and fruit. Our challenge for ‘Micky’ s Learning Ladder’ is to put on our jackets by ourselves for outdoor play.

Children had lots of fun using some of the new toys in nursery. Children were also learning about numbers and ordering the numbers on a number line.
