A Nice Visit
A group of teachers from Nice in France have been at the school for the past two days. They were visiting a variety of schools in Shetland to find out more about our education system and how smaller communities work. During their visit they spent time with us in the nursery. We sang “bonjour Mes Amis” with them, they taught us to say some colours in French.
PE – Gymnastics
Our theme in PE currently is gymnastic based, we will be working on balances, special awareness and progressing to some basic rolls.
Pincer Grip
While making firework and Diwali pictures we used crayon shavings to make the patterns. We were encouraged to use pincer grip to pick up the shavings. Pincer grip is very important for fine motor development and handwriting. We then put the pictures into the oven so the crayons melted together and then added glitter for some sparkle.
