Good afternoon parents, carers, children and our extended families
Please find below a video of our new access to the nursery. We have also attached pictures of our 3 bubbles and our new children’s toilets.
Please can we ask you to be patient with us while we all get used to this new arrangement. Boys and girls we cannot wait to see you all, we have lots of exciting plans and activities for you.
Thank you from the staff.
Hello Everyone
With all the work the children have been doing we thought it might be nice to get outdoors for a while, either on a walk or out in the back with a ball.
While out on a walk the children are learning about travelling safely from one place to another, if out with a ball its all about being safe while kicking, throwing and bouncing.
While walking and playing the children are taking in their surroundings and talking about what they are seeing and doing, using their good listening and turn taking skills to converse with you. Also maybe learning new language and new things as they talk about what they see and are going to do.
When outside the children can use their mathematical skills to talk about numbers they see on car registration plates, house numbers and counting the cars which they could mark down on paper and tally up when they get home and see which colour/make of car won.
Have fun while outside and please let us know what interesting things you saw and maybe collected. We would also love to know how many cars you counted or bounce of the ball you did.
On Sunday 29th April these three walkers completed a 23 miles walk from Glasgow to Balloch for charities. Sore feet all round but all worth it for the medal at the end.
Well done ladies a great achievement.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came along and participated in our Spring Event. We appreciate you taking the time to come along and join in the fun with your child and share in their learning. All who took part were able to find all the numbered eggs and received a chocolate lolly as their prize.
“Great fun, well done everyone”
“It was great fun we enjoyed looking for the numbers”
” Lots of fun for all our family, we really enjoyed it. Nice way to spend some time in nursery – well organised ”
” Yes it was good fun”
H ” I found the number 5.”
A ” Look I found them all.”
B ” There is one in the tree.”
Can you help?…………
The children would like to ask if anyone has either battery or solar operated fairy lights, that you may no longer need, as we would like to enhance our outside story corner. We have nice mirrors to be added and the children feel some fairy lights would finish this zone.
Thank you
We have been very busy here at Williamsburgh Early Learning and Childcare Class, using the children’s suggestions and ideas to make changes to our Learning Environment. What do you think of our changes? We would welcome any feedback /suggestions of how we can further develop our zones. The staff and children have been working very hard to rezone our rooms and the outside area along with some of our parents. These changes will enhance the environment for our young learners.
Thank you to all who attended our Stay and Play Week, we hope you enjoyed seeing all that goes on and were able to participate in some of the experiences.

Just a wee reminder – please could ensure that your child has a warm jacket, gloves, hat and wellies for Forest visits. Much appreciated.
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.
We would like to say a great big ‘Thank You’ to Jo Hall for bringing her friend JoJo Gnome to visit. We enjoyed hearing about Jojo’s experiences in Sound Town where he lives and also the fantastic poem about the Christmas Tree. Jo kindly drew us some pictures of Jojo which have been put in both playrooms…See if you can find him!
G: “I liked Jojo”
A; “We need to shout to wake Jojo up”
J: “Catching bubbles”
