We were delighted to be back in our garden this week after the renovation works. The new path has brought opportunities for extending imaginative play, using different kinds of resources in new ways, trajectory play makes for some fast movement around the garden. We also enjoyed an outdoor visit from Bookbug. The bairns received their Jumpstart January prize equipment including large noughts and crosses, ropes, foam rugby ball, sensory timers and a parachute book and put them to use in all kinds of play. We discovered different ways to make bubbles using loose parts.

We started our planting in the polycrub for this year’s produce including garlic, spring onions, leeks, onions, beetroot, carrots, radishes, peerie neeps, and flowers . The bairns made the beds ready, sorted out the seeds, planted the vegetables and watered all the plants. There was even time for a quick selfie! The bairns noticed that the apple tree had lots of flowers and we are hoping for lots of apples this year. Our strawberries have also started flowering.

We had a couple of exciting wooly visitors to nursery this week. One of our families brought in their two caddy lambs. The bairns showed the lambs the outdoor room and noticed they were already good climbers. The bairns also fed the lambs using bottles of milk.

We have been given a raised bed at the Salvation Army Community Allotment. The bairns headed down to see the allotment and plant tatties.

The bairns noticed a police car in the car park. We went to investigate! They identified the numbers and letters on the car and spoke about what number you could call to reach the police. The bairns discussed different kinds of emergency services – police, ambulance, coastguard and fire & rescue service. The bairns also sat in the car and sounded the horn.
