Spring Crafts
Lots of busy fingers enjoying some craft time this morning.
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!
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.
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 enjoyed some Christmas activities today!
We all helped to decorate our tree, and make our Santa and Rudolf wall display.
We enjoyed making snowmen with the white sparkly playdough using loose parts for the eyes, arms and buttons. Lots of us liked playing in the water tray, and at the block play area. It’s been a busy day!
We made hedgehogs!
When we were outside this morning, we collected sticks to make hedgehogs. We used playdough for the body and buttons and shells for his eyes and nose.
New toys!
The children received some new toys this week. They have enjoyed playing with the new outdoor blocks and building things and using their imagination.
They also enjoyed using the toys that were gifted from toddlers. The tractor has been a big hit and the children have enjoyed sharing it.

The children had fun using loose parts and various tools. They made ramps and learning new tool skills.
