Monday 11th September 2017

We have had an Autumn themed morning. Mrs Odie brought in some leaves from her garden to show us.

Singing and dancing in the rain!

We painted our boots to make footprints.

One of the bairns found a hedgehog in their garden. We made our own hedgehog in the nursery.

Mrs Odie is going to make a tree handprint.

“Look, I got a number 3!”

The girls chosen a game to play out in the area.

The lasses washed the peerie dinosaurs…. then they washed the sink!

We made our own water tray outside.

“We might get a rainbow because it’s a sunny, rainy day!” (Lori)

We found a clock beetle, centipedes and a slater. We put them in the bug hotel.

 

“We are going to Edinburgh on da boat. We need lots o water in case we get thirsty.” Lori.

We listened to some great action songs on “The wheels on the bus” cd.

We read the story of “Elmer’s Friends.”

Just a reminder to say can we please have toothbrushing consent forms back this week as the Childsmile team will be coming to visit the nursery. Thank you.

We made more music.

We did salt painting. It was great fun and we learned more about colour mixing. We used food colouring in droppers to mix the colours.  “Look, I’ve made orange.”

 

The workmen are going to make a new playground.

We listened to “5 little ducks” on the iPad then sang the song with our own set of ducks.

“I am the forklift!”

“We need a rope to stop the rock from getting away.”

We have changed our baking day for this week, so we “baked” some bubble dough.

The recipe:

We did calendar today. We learned about the day, the date, month, season and weather.

“I’ll set out the cones. You count them.” We learned that 6 and 1 more makes 7.

We worked together to make the tractor jigsaw.

We took the bikes out at the end of the session because the sun came out.

Tuesday 5th September

A much nicer day outside than yesterday so we didn’t need to hold on to each other to stop us blowing away!

The big bairns were out playing so we joined in.

Sand play, we made a beach!

We welcomed a new pupil.

We watched the ferry coming in and waved to the captain. He waved back and tooted the horn.

Drawing pictures

Exploring

Balancing

Can you spot the grapes in Oliver’s photograph?

We picked grapes to have at snack time!

Having fun in the playhouse.

“This is my calendar and I have crosses for the times when we were here.”

We had a visit from Joy and her African drums. We drummed, sang and danced. We had to do good listening and take turns. We even did counting in French, Spanish and Shetland dialect.

Video of us dancing:

We listened to The Magic Porridge Pot story.

We had show and tell today. This tool box plays music!

Monday 4th September

A busy day today with an unusually all girl group.

We had great fun with the water beads.

The big bairns came for a visit and a play at break time.

We made lots of sandcastles.

We took out the Barbies and Action Men and made Barbie  City with some shoeboxes.

We are reading Elmer stories and making an Elmer display with our artwork. Today we did printing with apples and peppers. We listened to the story Elmer and the Windy Day. The elephants in the story held onto each other so they didn’t blow away so we went outside in the wind holding onto each other too.

We did writing and photocopied it.

We made the tea with noodles.

The big car got stuck in the garage but it was rescued – phew!

We overlapped cellophane on the light box to make new colours and cut up pies to make our own patterns.

We enjoyed playing with the musical instruments today.

Below is a video of a music session with the band.
