We were delighted to have the bairns back after the Christmas break and hear all their exciting news.  Some of the bairns were keen to speak about things they had received for Christmas and decided to put on a Show and Tell.  The bairns listened to each of their friends, while taking turns to tell us about their own item.

The nursery is taking part in Jumpstart January which means we move our bodies for 15 minutes every day.  So far we have done this by playing the floor is lava, musical statues, king kong conga, ball play, yoga, Just Dance Kids and Joe Wicks Superheroes workout (“That was crazy!”).   The bairns have come up with their own ideas for each day and everyone has got involved.

We welcomed Mrs Garrick back for our first music lesson of the year this week.  The lesson started with a new song King Kong Conga which meant that the bairns could move around the hall in the conga style.  This provided opportunities for listening, movement, singing and being careful with the person in front.  Next we had a request from the bairns for the Wheels on the Bus.  This was paired up with actions for the wheels, wipers, horn, babies, mummies and people.  Then it was time to learn the Up Helly Aa song.  Finally, Mrs Garrick got our hearts pumping with a super fast version of heads, shoulders, knees and toes.

One of the bairns brought in their new puppy to visit the nursery.  We talked about how to care for a dog, what they like to eat and how much walking they need.  There was lots of discussion later in the day about how we can get a nursery dog!

We have added a lending library to the honesty cupboard.  You can take a book or leave a book and there is books available for all ages on a variety of topics.  We have a small red notebook and pencil in the box too and would be grateful if you could note your initials and the date when you take a book so we can see how many visitors there has been.  There is no hurry to return any of the books.  Happy reading!
