Today has been about water play, counting, painting and using our energy!

We sorted the pom poems with tweezers.

“I like drumming.”

“Can we draw a cat?”

We needed an ear for Elmer’s friend on the wall display so we painted one with our feet.

Foot spa-with fish!

Cooking and eating in the playhouse.

Painting ice creams for the ice cream parlour.

Focus on counting. Can you put the right number of pom poms in each cup?

Lottie brought in some balloons. We had great fun throwing, catching and batting them. Lori took a picture of the bairns playing.

We read that story of The Tiger Who Came To Tea. Mrs Marshall brought in a tiger puppet. It tried to eat all of our snack.

We all did some great tooth brushing with Elizabeth from the childsmile team.

Measuring carefully.

Taking turns with mixing.

“The yellow bits are making it quite sticky.”

Working together so everyone got a shot of the mobilo.

Adding some extra pieces to the helicopter.

Lots of measuring with different sized containers.

We take turns to be the helper. Counting how many bairns today, finding their placemat. Are there enough chairs, cups and plates?

Then we ask our friends to wash their hands and come for their snack.

We made pancakes today.

“I’m a pirate captain. We are going to Shetland pirate school.”

Our work experience helper playing a game of football with us.

The sand got drier and we scraped it up.

The sand outside was a bit wet.

What a busy day! We had the Playvan here this morning and the under fives group came to play too. We also had visits from Primaries 1-3.

Before the playvan we had a play in nursery. We’re still building towers -and enjoying knocking them down again.

We are enjoying trying out the dressing up clothes.

Trying out the nursery resources while looking forward to starting soon.

Sean had loads of stuff in the van and set it up for us.

Cars and farm …

playdough … we made pizzas, pancakes and people, a really ‘p’ activity!

Soft play …

 

“These are rusty rivets.”

 

Turning a piece of equipment into stairs.

Learning what size arch the car will fit under …

Snack and a story in the nursery.

Back for more fun, lots of parental involvement.

Magnets are great fun, whatever your age!

Peerie ones  enjoyed playing together.

Great interaction, sharing, imaginative play and FUN!

Who needs dolls?

Not sure that car will be safe in the volcano ….
