The nursery children are outside on a daily basis and this term we are hoping that the sun will shine. We would ask that all parents provide their child with a hat (preferably the legionnaire’s style that also protects the neck) and apply sun cream prior to your child coming to nursery. Those children in nursery full days should have sun cream in their bag that the staff can apply regularly.

We would also ask that children are dressed in t-shirts and not in vest or strappy tops. This minimises the amount of skin that is exposed to the sun.

Spring has finally arrived and the children have been out enjoying the lovely sunshine.

They have been exploring money using our large foam coins.

The children were also exploring and playing with bubble wrap. They were jumping along it trying to make it ‘pop’. There was lots of discussion about the noise it made and what was the best way to make it ‘pop’.

On Wednesday 24th March we had our Open Day. Lots of parents and grandparents came into visit us.

Jackie from Barnardos came to talk to the parents about Five to Thrive.

Over the last 3 weeks we have been running our Family Fun Club. This block of the club was looking at play through numeracy, literacy and health and wellbeing.

On 17th March we had a special Bookbug Session in the nursery led by staff from Renfrewshire Libraries and the Skoobmobile. Bookbug even came to visit us!

Thank you to all the parents who came along to take part.

Mrs Brogan and Mrs Cochrane took some of our older children down to Hunterhill Care Home to make Easter Bonnets with the residents. They all had a great time and their bonnets look brilliant.

 

On Thursday 3rd March to celebrate the end of our Jump into Reading Challenge and World Book Day we took the children along to Paisley Town Hall where we sang songs and listened to a storyteller. All children taking part in the challenge received a free book from the Scottish Book Trust and a certificate.

Thank you to all our families for taking part.
