Fundraising makes (Monday -Thursday)
We have had another busy week making and decorating items for the nursery sales table. The bairns have been making bird food hangers, firepit starters and cutting fabric for the tops of the jams and chutneys. It has been a production line with lots of willing helpers. Some of the bairns have been discussing what they will make using the cardboard cutter when we buy it.
‘I’m going to build a tower, a big tower.’
‘I will be able to cut out all the bits for a galley.’
‘Yeah, we could mak da shields too.’
Childsmile visit (Wednesday)
The Childsmile ladies came for a visit to apply the flouride varnish to the bairns teeth. They commented on their manners as when each group had finished they all said ‘thankyou’.
Bookbug (Thursday)
We were all delighted to have Claire and Bookbug along to nursery on Thursday for a session of rhymes and a story. Claire hopes to visit on Thursdays fortnightly so we will all look forward to that. The book we listened to was, Doodle and Dot – Squiggles on the Loose, Doodle and Dot are best friends. They love to draw together and experiment with art. But their drawings have a habit of coming to life and causing chaos. The book introduces line drawing styles to the bairns which they can then use to explore independently.
Gym Hall Visit (Thursday)
Mrs Ritchie the PE teacher invited us through to the hall to explore the BIG climbing frame and gymnastics equipment! We were all really excited to get started but Mrs Ritchie said we had to listen to some ‘rules’ first to keep us all safe. She showed us all how to do each station and come of safely, how to move around each station safely, no running, waiting for your turn if there was a queue and using hands and feet to climb.
‘That was so much fun.’
‘I geed right up to da top o da ladder n doon da idder side.’
‘We had to land on our feet on the mat.’

Some of the other fun and games from the week, including the playpark, ice and……………. the Christmas Tree!
