During our music session, we moved our bodies in time with the music by changing our movements related to the piano sounds, practiced for our graduation concert and finished with some relaxation music.

The library van was back again and we returned our books from last time and picked out some new titles.  The bairns chose stories and a fact book all about big cats.  The bairns stamped the date on the inside cover so that we know when they are due to go back to the library before the summer holidays.

The bairns’ interest in Up Helly Aa continues.  This week they have made a galley from an old cardboard box, using paint to decorate and added a head and tail.  They cut out shields and axes and marched around the nursery, including the garden singing the Up Helly Aa song.

We refreshed the playdough and this time the bairns added in dandelion heads and leaves.  They also picked some small yellow flowers from the broccoli in the polycrub.  Before adding the plants to the playdough, they tore them up into smaller pieces.

During our bookbug session, the bairns listened to a story called “One Goose Two Moose” about groups of geese and moose trying to line up.  They got in such a muddle with the geese in the moose line and moose in the goose line.  The bairns gathered on the stone pit lid, under the stretchy blanket for Grand Old Duke of York.

The preschoolers visited the P1/2 classroom as part of their transition.  They took part in Drawing Club.  Miss Hunter gave them three words to think about while drawing – gobbled, ignore and destroy.  The bairns drew monsters and their pictures have been added to their nursery folders.

The preschoolers partnered up with the P1 class for gym.  They headed out to the multicourt for games including Stick in the Mud and Catchy.  The bairns played ball games, passing to their Primary 1 partners.

Here is a selection of the remainder of our play and learning from the week.  The bairns have tried lots of ways to crack open a coconut!  After a few tries they decided they need to cut off all the hairs.  Then they used a brick, a hammer, scissors and eventually a screwdriver did the trick to crack it open.  They tasted the coconut water but there were not many fans.
