On Tuesday we made slime. The children were so good at recognising the quantity of ingredients that we needed. They were really good at waiting patiently and taking turns of mixing and pouring the ingredients and glitter into thew bowls. They all loved playing with the slime after it was made.
On Monday the children coming to nursery dressed up. We made potions and had lots of fun mixing everything together. The children enjoyed being outside and running around, playing lots of different games with each other. We also loved doing signalong, where we were learning the different signs for food!
We went for a morning walk in the Stromfirth road and were very lucky to meet local crofter George who had his sheep in pens waiting to be sheared. George showed us a lamb and we were all able to feel its fleece which was so soft. Sheepdog ‘Tibb’ was let out of the pick-up and we all got to stroke her.
We have enjoyed learning about caterpillars this week at nursery. The children have enjoyed watching our own caterpillars grow and get bigger, they are very excited for when they turn into butterflies. We have been making a big caterpillar for the wall display this week. The children enjoyed cutting, sticking and colouring in a circle to make the caterpillar bigger. Some of the children enjoyed the playdough and making caterpillars with it and some enjoyed copying different kinds of butterflies from the ipad and drawing them. They all done so well and took their time 🙂
Some caterpillars have arrived this morning. The children were very excited to see them and are excited to watch them grow into butterflies.
We had a special visit yesterday in the nursery! One of the children released a creel with their uncle at the weekend. They were very excited to come and show everyone at nursery what had been caught. The children were excited to see some crabs, hermit crab and a star fish!!! Thanks for bringing these in to show us before releasing them back into the sea!
The children had such a busy day on Friday. They all enjoyed dressing up with the different costumes. They learned where the Queen lives and were able to tell us some of the jobs that she has to do. We then had some fun dancing and playing party games after snack. The children enjoyed showing off their dance moves. Followed by a special snack made from the canteen ladies!
We even had a special visit from the Queen herself!!
Everyone loved planting today at the polytunnel. All the children enjoyed filling their plant pots with soil, adding their sunflower seed in and then topping up the pot with more soil. They all done good listening and are very excited to see them grow by watering them everyday!
The climbing frame has returned to the nursery!! The children have loved climbing and swinging on it. Lots of sensible playing and sharing of the equipment.
We loved visiting the p6 class for some red nose games and to buy some red noses. We enjoyed the game ‘whack the rat’ and treasure map guessing. They were all so exited to buy noses and to get some chocolate. We had some cool t-shirts and crazy hairstyles in nursery too!!
