Today we were lucky enough that the weather stayed nice for the trip to East Links Family Park at Dunbar.The children enjoyed feeding the different animals, riding on the train and playing at the park, Fort and on the hay bales.

This morning  the children enjoyed taking part in their sports day. They participated in a quoit race, egg and spoon race, running race  and obstacle relay race. The younger siblings had a running race and there was parents race where the mums and dads had to go backwards with a quoit on their head.

A part of  outdoor learning the morning nursery children visited the Lanthorn woods and they had the opportunity to investigate and explore a specific area. They enjoyed going on a bear hunt and even found slugs home. The children even managed to find the number 7 post which was hiding in amongst the bushes.

This afternoon the nursery children had lots of fun playing in the Mid Calder woods where they had lots of opportunities to explore and investigate the natural texture found in the woods.

Maddison “I liked playing with the sticks.”

Freya “I liked playing with the leaves. “

As part of Eco Week the nursery children have been learning about recycling from Joanne. She brought her large wormery in to the nursery and the children had the opportunity to hold a worm if they wanted to or just look at them. She spoke to them about how the worms helped to make compost which helps our plants to grow. A child even tried to keep a worm as Joanne left.
