Music (Monday)

During music we moved our bodies by stretching, shrinking, turning and jumping to warm up.  We listened to the music while moving in time around the hall.  The bairns copied their friends’ moves for Everybody Do This.  We marched around the hall singing the Up Helly Aa song.  Then, after some very fast Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, we lay down and relaxed before tiptoeing to the door to line up and head back to nursery.

Adventure to the Burn (Tuesday)

We went for a walk to the burn for our Jumpstart January session on Tuesday.  The bairns splashed in the shallow parts of the water, threw stones, watched their poo sticks float and climbed over the rocks.  The bairns also tested out the muddy puddles, seeing how much they would splash.

Jumpstart January (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday)

We have continued our Jumpstart January sessions with games in the hall including toilet tag, traffic lights and stick in the mud.  The bairns also gathered it the quiet room for Just Dance which was very energetic.

Bookbug (Wednesday)

Claire joined us for a Bookbug session this week.  The bairns listened and joined in with the songs and nursery rhymes including Incy Wincy Spider, Peter & Paul and Brian & Blanche .  Then we all hopped on our horses, stopping to tell each other their names, ages and colours.  “My horse is called Unicorn Sparkle!”  “My horse is a hundred.”  The story this week was called Oi Dog! by Kes & Claire Gray and Jim Field.  Cat liked sticking by the rules but frog had other plans in this hilarious rhyming story.

Bee-Bot (Friday)

The bairns used the Bee-Bot to do some simple programming by counting the squares on the mat.  They waited for their turn and also discussed directions – right, left and forwards.

Literacy (Monday-Friday)

The bairns have been engaged in various literacy-related activities.  The message centre is always a popular part of the nursery and the bairns bring their imagination to life through their drawings and other creations.  Early literacy also includes jigsaw making, playdough, taking turns in games, scissor skills and patterns.

Play and Learning (Monday-Friday)

Here is a selection of our play and learning from the remainder of the week.  The bairns have created spinner art, experienced the force of the wind outside, made snack and built dens and cities across the nursery.  The nursery attended Cunningsburgh’s Got Talent and saw a range of acts from magicians, comics, singers, musicians and dancers.  It was a real treat!
