We learned how to make playdoh. To make it you need vegetable oil, salt, cream of tartar, flour and food colouring. Add hot water and mix!

Shape Hunt
Nursery went on a shape hunt in the village. They had to tick when they found a shape and try to draw it.
National Waste Week
Nursery and P1-3 had an exciting visitor this morning. Aileen and Kathryn from South Ayrshire Council came in and taught us more about recycling for National Waste Week. They told us lots of interesting things and asked us some tricky questions! Then we played a recycling game. We had to throw the beanbag with printed rubbish items on them through the correct bin.
Pattern Hunt
Nursery have been looking at patterns. We have been on a hunt around the village to ‘spot’ different patterns. There were loads! We then looked at patterns in nursery.

Feeding the Birds
With the weather being so frosty the birds can’t get much food. We made bird feeders and put them outside our window. We have been watching the birds from our Window of Wonder.
Gym
Nursery got the wall bars out to practise out climbing skills. We had great fun!
Bread Making
Mrs Templeton taught us how to make bread. We put all the ingredients in, added the yeast and hot water and mixed it up to make a dough. Then we kneaded it for 15 mins and put it in the oven. It was delicious!
