Month: January 2019

On Friday 25th January the boys and girls took part in our nursery Burns’ Day, where we celebrated the birthday of Rabbie Burns.  The children had the opportunity to wear something tartan, taste haggis, neeps, tatties and shortbread. They also had great fun playing toss the caber, Scottish corners and pass the haggis. We started off our party by singing some Scottish songs – “Three Wee Craws” and “You Cannae Shove Yer Granny Aff a Bus”.  We learned about the story of Tam O’Shanter and Jack T accompanied Sandra in piping in the Haggis with his bagpipes from home.  The children were able to share what they liked and disliked about our special day.

JT “Look at my bagpipes”   BF “The best bit is the black bit”  AT “I don’t like the haggis, I like the potatoes”  IQ “I don’t like the smell”  JM “I really like the black bit”

Sharing the Learning – ‘Stay and Play’ sessions

This is an opportunity for you to spend some time with your child as they play in their Early Learning & Childcare Class and to observe how/what they are learning.

Please could we request that any chatterbox cards/worksheets be returned to the nursery to allow  your child  to pick another one and to allow  other children to complete their sheet. We hope that you are continuing to enjoy working with your child to complete each card and the activity printed on the back.  We would welcome your feedback – please let us know your thoughts.

 

The children and staff at Williamsburgh would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Sutherland (Ava’s dad) for all of his hard work and time he has spent enhancing our outside play area.   Thank you also to Mr Farrell (Rhyann’s dad) who has given his time to enhance areas for the children too. We appreciate all the help they have given and we know that the children are going to benefit greatly from all the new additions in their outdoor space. We would also like to convey our thanks to Mr Connie who gave his time so generously to support the children recently at Christmas.  We really appreciate that he is always willing to return to help us out.
