Music with Mrs Garrick on Monday the bairns joined in with lots of music, singing and movement activities including the Goldilocks song, bananas in Pyjamas and we brushed up on the Up Helly Aa song before our trip to Lerwick on Tuesday. At the end of the session Mrs Garrick took out her sound bowl to promote a bit of relaxation before heading back to the nursery.

We made our way up to Lerwick on Tuesday for Up Helly Aa and managed to catch the Vikings just in time as they marched along Commercial Street.  The bairns were excited to see what colour the galley was painted and a few had guessed right.  We walked down to the Esplanade and caught a closer look at the galley.  The bairns spoke to some of the Jarl squad and inspected their suits, commenting on their axes and shields.  We walked through town and up to the Fort for a run around on the big rocks.  We noticed the length of our shadows in the winter sun.  After lunch there was time for some imaginative Viking play out in the garden.

We spent some time down at the school playground and the bairns explored the equipment, made up games, sang the Up Helly Aa song and splashed in the puddles.  The bairns were also engaged in plenty of muddy fun in the garden this week.

Here is a selection of photos to show more learning from this week.
