It was great to have the bairns back in the setting following the snow week and to hear all about the fun they had been having building snowmen, igloos and sledging. We watched a slide show of all the photos you sent in so they could recall their experiences and share them with us.

We were very excited to receive a parcel in the post of some magnetic tiles and the bairns have used their creativity to make some fantastic things. We have seen rockets, houses, cages, jails, patterns, towers and many castles and palaces. There has been discussion about shapes and a very exciting discovery that two triangles can make a square and two rectangles can make a square!

At our music session with Mrs Garrick we learned about rhythm and used different parts of our body to tap or clap out the beats. The Up Helly Aa song was a great hit and we had a march around the hall while remembering the words.

We chose some lovely fact and fiction books from the library van.

The nursery bairns and some of the lower primary classes had an assembly in the hall with Mr Clark, we listened to the story Giraffes’ can’t Dance. We chatted about how it was good to be different, persistence and being kind to others.

Here are a few more photos of what has been going on in the setting this week, lots of dens, magnets, creativity, roleplay and friends.

We were delighted to welcome the bairns back to nursery this week. They explored the setting, finding their favourite activities and there has been lots of game play.

The outside play this week has included building a house with multiple chimneys, feeding the hens, spotting a rainbow, exploring the muddy puddle, keeping the ice cream shop running, building a seesaw, moving sand and tidying up the polycrub.

We had a few ripened bananas to use up so the bairns searched for recipes on the iPad and came up with a sugar-free banana milkshake and banana muffins. They prepared the ingredients, made up the muffin batter and added it to the paper cases. We borrowed a blender from the kitchen and the bairns took turns to press the button and watch the mixture become a milkshake. The bairns all enjoyed milkshakes and muffins for snack.

Here’s a selection of photos showing the different play experiences that the bairns have engaged in throughout the setting.
