A busy Monday morning
A busy Monday morning! We made some pink play-dough with Mrs Gilfillan, and enjoyed getting out for a run around at the grassy bit in the Strom road. We played catchy games and enjoyed looking for sticks in amongst all the grass. When we got back, we played with the giant floor puzzle out in the courtyard. It’s good to get outside after such a windy and rainy weekend!
Frog spawn
We took a walk to see the frog spawn in Stromfirth road. We were all very excited to see it and can’t wait to keep seeing them grow.
Our community
The children have enjoyed creating ‘Our Community’ wall display. We found pictures of different places in Whiteness and Weisdale. The children have enjoyed putting their own houses, sheeps and trees onto the map as well. They created the grass by doing feet and hand printing. They then created the sky by using sponges. They had so much fun doing this.
Outdoor play
What a lovely few mornings we’ve had being able to get outside. We loved the beach on Tuesday and found lots of sea glass to bring back to Nursery. Today we went out to the polytunnel and especially enjoyed jumping in the muddy puddles that were a bit frosty from the ice.
Friday show and tell
The children enjoy it when its show and tell on a Friday. This week we were shown some pictures of the Northern lights!! The children were very interested to hear all about it!
Drumming!
The children love when there is drumming in the nursery. They love to bang the drums and learn new songs. 🙂
Learning about Dinosaurs and Volcanos
The barins have loved learning all about different types of dinosaurs and making lovely wall displays with their artwork. We have also been learning about volcanos, and we did an experiment that looked like a real volcano. One of the barins took in a lava rock that was found in Shetland a long time ago, it was very interesting and everyone had lots of questions.
A beautiful calm morning at the beach
What a super morning we had at the beach. We found sea glass, shells and some nice stones to take back with us. We had some really good helpers that gathered up all the plastic rubbish and put it in a carrier bag to take with us and put in the bin when we got back to Nursery. We saw a seal and a fish jumping in the water!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all the staff at the Whiteness Nursery x
We’ve been learning about our emotions
We enjoyed looking at all the different pictures of the cartoon’s facial expressions and deciding how they were feeling and what zone they were in.
