We were very busy today!

Lotti had asked for the garage and cars and we all played with it today.

It was really windy and we played outside. We ran and played on the pirate ship, we drew on the blackboards and climbed on the climbing frame. We even tried flying our kite.

We emptied the washing machine and hung up the washing.

We printed pictueres using tatties.

We mixed paints in a bag to make new colours.

The vehicles were sorted by type today instead of by colour.

We played with Silly Soap.

We loved the Octons and Oliver asked if they could go on the interest table. We also swapped the number jigsaw for the Ten in a Bed Teddies. We used the teddies to count with and recognise numbers.

Show and Tell was ‘Our Favourite Toy’ there was some good talking, listening and turn taking.

We listened to The Very Hungry Caterpillar at snack time.

Look at what we did today:

Drawing shapes. “It’s a circle.”

Sorting vehicles by colour.

Making pictures with sequins.

Building sand castles.

Pouring, filling and whisking the bubbles.

“I want tae  fill da bucket up ate da tap.”

Sharing the sand.

Building new tracks for the trains.

We chose some new toys to play with this week.

We went outside on a breezy day!

We found a lovely story about teddies with nursery rhymes to sing too.

Friday 25th August

Today we spent most of the time outside.

We chose some tools and got everyone a hat, then fixed the house.

We helped to bring the toys outside.

The boat was floating away so we talked about how to fix it down.

We used our toys to make bubbles.

We counted enough tatties for everyone.

Chose different coloured feathers, pushed them into the tattie and then…

we tried to make them fly!

Higher and higher!

Some of us sorted toys into matching sets.

We were looking for letter in our names.

Do you think we’re sleeping bunnies or cows or sheep?

We are crocodiles!

We snapped all around the school.

At the end of the session we heard The Very Hungry Caterpillar and sang our favourite songs.

Look what we’ve been doing today.

The rain poured down but we were determined to get out. We put on the waterproofs and had a great time playing on the newly finished pirate ship.

We welcomed another new pupil to nursery today.

Mrs Marshall got some new sand for us to play with. We did some raking and made sand castles.

More outside play in the rain and the puddles.

We had 2 star bakers today. The cookies were delicious

Tuesday 22nd August

First thing this morning the whole school went to the beach.

Testing the depth of the water …

Throwing stones to make a splash … or three!

Collecting and counting shells.

 

Climbing

Paddling and finding things under the water …

We had two stories at snack time. One was a counting story and some good counting and number recognition took place.

After snack we took toys outside along with the bikes. Too nice a day to be in – and no midgies!

Problem solving, when you can’t pedal with two people, pull!

Finding out it’s better to be in the middle when you’re on a see saw on your own.

Show and tell, something from the summer, souvenirs, photos and stories!

When we were in the garden we picked a small bunch of juicy grapes from the greenhouse, yum!

 

Please remember there is no nursery tomorrow because of a power cut. Could anyone who still has forms to return please do so asap.

What we did today:

We welcomed some more bairns into the nursery.

We harvested broad beans we have been growing in the planter outside. “They are furry on the inside.”

We cut the beans in half so we could share them st snack time.

We chose some books from the library to take home.

We took the playdough outside. It was too dry and crumbly so we tried adding some more oil to it. We practised cutting the playdough with scissors.

We tried to have a story outside but the midges got the better of us and we had to stop!

There were fewer midges up in the garden so we went to play there.

“I want to go on the motorbike but the engine is not working.”

“Look, I’m up in da tree!”

We we made collage pictures to take home.

Mrs Odie helped us to harvest carrots from the plant  pot outside too. We tried some and all agreed they tasted yummy.

 

 

Friday 18th August

We had a quick play at nursery before heading out on an adventure.

We walked to the hall to go on the Play, Talk, Read bus.

We had songs, stories, craft and played with the toys.

We went into the hall for snack and a play at the under fives.

We went to the play park before heading back to nursery for home time.

Joey took some photos with the iPad, here’s a selection:

He noticed the colours in the safety surfacing.

Thursday 17th August 2017

“Look, it spins around!”

“I take it out and iron it.”

We tried to play outside. There were too many midges so we had to run back inside!

We made some green playdough. We measured, poured and mixed.

Joey took a picture of the finished product.

We need some new photos for our welcome wall, boxes and birthday wall.

“Waw, a big New Holldand tractor!”

We discovered the windmill on our way to the garden.

Everyone had a go on the fitness trail

We found purple grapes and green grapes in the greenhouse. We ate some.

We all went outside to listen to a story about going to nursery.

Wednesday 16th August 2017

We have all had a great first day back at nursery after the summer holidays. It was super to welcome our new pupils in and super to have our pupils from last year back again.

Everyone agreed that we should play outside as the sun was shining.

“Can this be a sailing ship?”

We did some writing and drawing.

Everyone enjoyed playing with the new scoops. We picked up all kinds of things with them.

We took the bikes out too. We all shared and took turns with the bikes.

Our pupils from last year have been very helpful towards our new nursery pupils.
