Over the past few weeks we have enjoyed exploring traditional tales such as Jack and the Beanstalk and Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Today we heard the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff and made predictions about what would happen next.

Afterwards, the children had the option of making a scary troll mask or goat mask. The children listened well and developed their cutting skills too.

We have had a busy first couple of weeks in ELC settling into our new routines and rules.

Lots of changes have happened over the summer in our ELC, with a new cloakroom area, a covered outdoor area and now some children stay all day in ELC and have lunch.

We have also welcomed new staff members in ELC, please come and say hello!

This term we are also learning about Nursery Rhymes. Mrs Ramage used the “talking tub” to find out what Nursery Rhymes we already know and what ones we would like to sing.

Please leave a comment on our posts and share photos with your child, we love to hear your views!

We would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our new Primary 1s and families. We have been delighted with how well the children have already started to pick up our daily routines and have managed well in the lunch hall. We have had a busy week exploring the classroom, playing in our outdoor areas and have enjoyed sharing stories and songs together.

We will update our blog regularly so please visit from time to time to see what we have been up to.
