We have a new display in the nursery where the children can look to see what is on offer today at nursery. Alongside our usual opportunities in nursery we will also note any special events such as when we have gym hall time or if we have any trips or walks planned out.

Our rhyme of the week this week is Pat-a-cake.

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man.

Bake me a cake as fast as you can.

Pat it, and roll it, and mark it with ‘B’

Then put it in the oven for baby and me.

Here is a link to a version of the rhyme from cbeebies.

Our rhyme of the week for this week is Miss Polly Had a Dolly.

Miss Polly had a dolly,
who was sick, sick, sick.
So she phoned for the doctor
to be quick, quick, quick.
The doctor came with his bag and his hat.
And he knocked at the door,
with a rat-a-tat-tat.

He looked at the dolly
and he shook his head.
And he said, “Miss Polly,
put her straight to bed.”
He wrote out a paper for a pill, pill, pill.
“I’ll be back in the morning,
with the bill, bill, bill.”

Some of our pre-school pupils had the opportunity to visit the Lerwick Galley Shed the week before Up-Helly-Aa.

We got to hold on to the torches – they were quite heavy! We held on to special peerie torches, the ones used in the procession are much bigger and heavier.

We got to try on helmet in the room upstairs. We sat at the long table and looked at all the pictures on the wall. Nicol found a photo of his grandad!

We got to go up into the galley. We sat in the galley. We got to see what the colour the galley was painted but we knew we had to keep it a secret!

We really enjoyed our trip to the Galley Shed and we appreciated the members of the Up-Helly-Aa committee who let us visit and who told us about all the different things.

Our Rhyme of the Week for this week is Old King Cole. There is a link below which plays the rhyme as a song.

Old King Cole – BBC Teach

Here is Old King Cole:

Old King Cole was a merry old soul,

And a merry old soul was he;

He called for his pipe,

and he called for his bowl

and he called for his fiddlers three.

Every fiddler he had a fiddle,

And a very fine fiddle had he;

Oh there’s none so rare,

As can compare,

With King Cole,

And his fiddlers three.

Our rhyme of the week for this week is Hickory, Dickory Dock!

Hickory Dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down,
Hickory Dickory dock.
