We had a new friend join us in the nursery today.  Frosty the Snowman arrived this morning and is now keeping Rudolph company.  Another huge thank you to Carli’s Papa who has been busy again making this for us.

It was a fabulous surprise!

The nursery went for a walk to The Centre to buy a present for Santa.  We saw lots of different decorations and stopped at the big Christmas tree to have our photo taken.

We were so proud of all of the children as lots of people stopped us to comment on how well behaved they were.

Yesterday in the nursery we were delighted to be given our very own Rudolph!

He was made for us by Carli’s Papa and everyone in the nursery would like to say a great big thank you to him.  Rudolph is already one of our favourite decorations and has impressed all of our visitors too!

Today we were celebrating St Andrew’s Day.  We tried some Scottish dancing.

We wore tartan to nursery and went round the school to show it off and wave our Saltire flags that we made.

We also made tartan using cars and tried a bit of shortbread at snack time.

What a busy day!

When our autumn helpers went back to the woods to see if the squirrels had found the nuts they were only able to find some of the shells left!

As this had worked so well the rest of us went out to hide more nuts in the woods yesterday.    

We found lots of good places to put them.

Although we are not sure how many of the squirrels will find them as the ducks and swans were looking for them before we even left!

Today we had lots of Halloween fun in the nursery!  We all dressed up and went guising around the school.  Our disguises were so good that Mrs Ferguson didn’t even recognise us!  We sang a Halloween song to everyone and were even rewarded with a treat from Mr Herman!

When we got back to the nursery we had worms for snack! (looked a bit like spaghetti!)        

Then we enjoyed dooking for apples too!

Yesterday in the nursery some of us had lots of fun in the rain!

We put on waterproofs and wellies and went out to splash in lots of puddles!  

We really enjoyed getting wet and making big splashes!

Last week some new resources arrived in the nursery.  Our favourite is our new building bricks which we used to build big towers.  We were great at sharing the bricks with our friends and asked each other if we could borrow bricks to make our towers bigger when we ran out.  Using careful building and counting skills we worked out that it took 16 bricks to be as tall as Kayla and 17 bricks to be as tall as Zak.

Over the last week we have enjoyed taking our learning outside.  We went out to find autumn leaves in the local area and now have been using these in our art work and for sorting at our science table.

We got duck food and went to feed the ducks and swans.  We noticed that the cygnets feathers are getting lighter and they were also really hungry!

In the nursery we recycled some of our yogurt pots to make bird feeders to hang in the garden.  We were excited to see some of the birds eating from them when we went out to play but found out that it was very difficult to get pictures of them!

Last week the nursery went out in the local area to look for signs.

We found lots of different ones and many of us used the cameras to take photos of them.                         

We noticed that signs can have words, numbers and pictures on them.

What signs do you see on the way to nursery?
