Outdoor Activities

This term we have had some visitors to share our outdoor areas. Outdoor learning teacher Kate Hookham showed us how to make dens with our equipment. Then we had two little visitors who we even got to feed. It was so much fun! We have made kites, played in the rain, made shadow drawings on sunny days, explored with numbers, shapes and letters, hunted for minibeasts for our bug hotel and been on so many walks!

We all took part in our sports day and went to the P1-3 sports day to cheer on our friends too.

We loved seeing the Jarl Squad and the galley. We sang songs, marched around, dressed up, made torches, axes and hats and watched videos of the galley burning too. Then we used the interactive whiteboard to watch what happened in Lerwick. We saw some of our friends in the Jarl Squad there too, it was so exciting!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Thank you to those of you who were able to join us for our Stay and Play Christmas sessions. We were able to share snack and make Christmas biscuits and crafts. Grown ups joined in with play around the setting to see what we do everyday.

There will be another Stay and Play in the summer which we hope some of you will be able to join us for.

We have been on some Christmas walks to see the decorations around the village. We have heard lots of Christmas stories and songs and made lots of Christmas crafts.

Happy Christmas Everyone!

A time for getting to know new friends and catching up with old ones, learning all about nursery and everyone here.
