This week the children have been busy planting different flower seeds using plastic bottles and then hanging them outside in the nursery garden. Many children know which planting is theirs and have been taking care of it by giving it some water.
This will definitely brighten up the garden and hopefully bring bees and butterflies to visit later on this year.
As part of World Book Day the nursery  children had the opportunity to dress up as characters from various books and they also had the pleasure of Primary 4 and Primary 4/5 children sharing stories with them. Some older children brought books to share with others and some children borrowed the nursery books.
We even managed a wee play together after sharing their love of reading.
Today the nursery children had great fun playing in the snow even although it didn’t last for very long. They were all set with waterproof trousers and wellies with most of the children enjoyed going down the wet slide.
In the nursery garden this week the children have had the opportunity to play with different natural materials where they were able to describe the various textures.
This week in the nursery we have been focusing on Little Red Riding Hood where most of the children are able to retell this story using visuals. We spoke about personal safety as Little Red Riding Hood was told not to talk to anyone on the way to grandma’s house and how the Big Bad Wolf was very naughty. We went on a hunt to the local woods to see if we could find the Big Bad Wolf.
We didn’t manage to find the Big Bad Wolf but we did find out that they are working on replacing the bridge over the pond and we will keep an eye on the progress of this.
This week parents had the opportunity to visit the nursery to spend time with their children in nursery and find out what they like to do in their time here.
Many parents enjoyed joining in with various activities their children participate in.
