We are very sad to say goodbye to Mrs Fraser!

We wish her all the best in her new post. The bairns gave her a good send off…

They made her a crown and declared her Queen for the day!

She chose to listen to country music which everyone loved dancing too, we had cake for snack, played with bubbles and the bairns helped her follow clues on her treasure hunt in the afternoon.

A Lovely relaxing hand massage to finish off the day!

Thank you Mrs Fraser, we will miss you!

Christmas Advent Calendar

December 13, 2019 Mrs Smith 1 Comment

It’s fair to say the Christmas frenzy has hit us! What an exciting and busy time we’ve had.

For our advent calendar this year, we really wanted to emphasize the value of quality time together, rather than just “things”. So we filled our advent calendar with activity and challenges tailored to each individual bairn’s interests. Each bairn has a special activity to do and the opportunity to share it with their friends if the wish. Quality one to one time and time with friends can often be overlooked at such busy times and we’ve all really enjoyed our advent times together so far.

Here’s a sneaky peek at what they’ve been up to…….

Christmassy Water play!

Digging for Christmas treasure!

Build a snowman………

….and knock it over!

Making hot chocolate…

Create a unicorn making craft station!

Frozen dance off and musical statues….

Make your own christmas sand tray…..

Make a Christmas snack…

Make a John Deer Tractor…..

Cardboard box creativity

March 30, 2019 Mrs Smith Leave a comment

What fun we’ve had exploring our creativity with these cardboard boxes. Open-ended and free exploration plays a really important role in our Nursery, allowing the children to create, fail, reassess and engage problem solving to help them make sense of the world around them.

We had such fun with the boxes inside, we decided to take them outside. The children were very mindful of the environment and then animals and living things within the environment. They engaged in some great discussions as to how to look after their environment and use the boxes and equipment safely and appropriately.
