Welcome back!

We were all happy to be back at nursery.

Wax candle pictures.

We can write our names on our pictures.

We have started our topic on light and dark.

We played outside between the showers. We saw some nice rainbows with all of the colours in them.

We had some good rhythms going on.

Lots of pouring and filling int the sparkly water tray.

The nursery band.

Which nut fits on to which bolt?

We can match up numbers to dots.

“Pigs digger.”

 

“Look I can mak it spin!”

Staff: “Do you want to write your name in the soap?”

Bairns: “No, we just want to make a mess!”

“Messy hands!”

Fairy lights in the dark den.

“See how strong we are.”

We made up a cleaning song while cleaning the windows.

*Reminder: show and tell for tomorrow is “something from the holidays.”*

It was a day for visitors today, Elizabeth was back for more toothbrushing and Joy came for African drumming.

Mrs Marshall spent some time in nursery this morning. We helped her with her counting.

Brushing teeth.

Singing an African song.

Show and Tell (or Fun and Tell as Leah calls it!). We had to bring something yellow today. We also sang ‘Wind the bobbin up’.

We played outside with the primary bairns.

We went up to the garden. We picked a tomato 🍅 in the greenhouse to share and pulled up carrots. We each took a carrot 🥕 home.

It’s a good job we put our boots on, the tattie patch had been dug over and we enjoyed jumping around on it.

Caroline’s’ cat came to visit us too.

We watched the ferry load up a van and a truck and then watched it leave. We waved and the captain tooted the horn for us.

Reuben took this photo of his friend.

‘Look at me!’
