SMUHA Preparations (4-13 March)

The bairns took a vote for the colours of the galley. Their choices were blue, orange and purple. The winning colours with 6 and 7 votes each were orange and purple. The bairns got to work painting stripes on the galley, creating shields, torches, helmets and finishing the galley with a head, tail, beard, mast, tongue and name – Burny Wurny.

SMUHA Procession (Friday)

We were delighted to see so many of our bairns’ families at the procession this morning. The bairns did us proud and the Jarl was in great form to lead us around the car park, finishing with a speech to thank all the helpers. Three cheers for Nursery Up Helly Aa!

SMUHA Visit (Friday)

The bairns welcomed the Jarl’s Squad, joining in with singing the Up Helly Aa song. They listened to the speeches and cheered the Jarl’s Squad on their way. A few members of the squad visited nursery afterwards and the bairns had a closer look at their shields, suits, axes and swords. Three cheers for SMUHA!

Polycrub Planting (Monday-Wednesday)

We have started visiting the Salvation Army polycrub again and this week we planted courgettes, aubergines and onions. The bairns took some onions back to nursery too. We planted geraniums and were lucky enough to be able to take three with us – one for the nursery and one each for the bairns that visited the polycrub to take home. Back in the nursery polycrub, we took out the big clumps of soil and put them into the guttery hole in the garden, before planting the onions from the Salvation Army polycrub. The bairns also watered the strawberries and this led to lots of transporting water during play at the mud kitchen.

Oreo Visit (Thursday)

We had a special visitor to nursery this week – Oreo the bunny rabbit! The bairns learned about using gentle hands, what the bunny liked to eat and how it went to the toilet in a green bowl.
