Music (Monday)

Mrs Garrick introduced two new movements to match the music – butterfly and standing on one leg.  The bairns used delicate movements for the butterfly and tried to keep their balance for the standing on one leg challenge.  We used the bench and our hands to follow Mrs Garrick’s beat.  The bairns lined up for Grand Old Duke of York and then moved quickly during Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.  The bairns laid down on the ground, closing their eyes and staying quiet for the Zen Bowl relaxation.

Polycrub (Monday)

During our visit to the Salvation Army polycrub, the bairns raised tatties and planted sunflower seeds and radishes.  We also took two boxes of eggs back to nursery for our Honesty Cupboard.

Outdoor Play (Monday-Friday)

The bairns have been engaged in lots of outdoor play this week.  They have built a den and thought this would be the perfect place to have snack.  They have given the grass a “haircut” with scissors and collected daisies to make nature bracelets.  The bairns have used chalk to mark make and created potions in the mud kitchen.

Fine Motor Skills (Monday-Friday)

The bairns have made handbags, used the wooden shapes, nails and hammers to make pictures, made bracelets, sorted shapes into coloured trays and baked mini muffins and granola.  These activities all promote fine motor skills which are the foundation for writing in early literacy.

Play and Learning (Monday-Friday)

Here is a selection of our play and learning from the remainder of the week.  The bairns have used loose parts in the outdoor room to make instruments.  They have opened ice cream and cookie shops and built castles.
