Winter Weather Activities

As the “Beast from the East” is forecast and we have been issued with a Yellow Weather warning, here are some Snow activities to keep you busy if the schools and nurseries have to be closed:

  • Build the biggest snowman you can. Make sure they have eyes, a nose, a mouth, and arms.
    Take a photograph of your creation and bring it in when we come back for us all to see.
  • Snow writing. Grab a stick and write your name in the snow.
  • Find an old odd sock and make a puppet character from your favourite book. Bring it in when we come back and show your friends.
  • Draw a picture of the snowy scene you can see from your window.
  • Make some cookies with an adult so you can eat them when you’re finished building your snowman just like the ones we made at Stay Play Make.  Here is the recipe:-

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes 18

100g Margarine

75g Soft light brown sugar

2x15ml tablespoons syrup

175g Self raising flour

2 x 15ml teaspoons mil

100g Chocolate chips

Heat Oven to 180 oC.  Beat the margarine util soft.  Add sugar to mixture until light and fluffy. Stir in the syrup, flour, chocolate chips and milk and mix well.  Place spoonfuls of the mixture onto greaseproof paper and place on a baking tray.  Bake for 8-10 minutes.  Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

ENJOY!

Bookbug Launch

Our launch of the Bookbug Explorer Bag was well attended by the parents and pupils of Hopefield Nursery.  Everyone enjoyed the singing and the stories before a special visitor arrived to hand out the special Bookbug bags.

                   

We look forward to hearing all about the stories which you received in your bag. You could even draw us a picture of the Bookbug with the pencils from your bag and bring it in for us to see.

Paired Reading

We had a fantastic experience when our Primary 6/7 pupils came to read us our favourite stories.  Both primary and nursery pupils thoroughly enjoyed this experience and we even had a shadow story from one of the boys.  Iris chose “a girl” to read her the Giant of Jum book and Esme liked the shadow story but really enjoyed the Giant of Jum.  Chardonnay and Frankie enjoyed the story about the Snail and the Whale. Mason loved Craig reading him a story about a teddy bear.  Oskaras was so excited when he heard the story about the pirate. Kaeden and Cameron were finding out about the Dragon!

Looking forward to next week!
