This week in Inveralmond Early Years

Children have been extremely interested in the first signs of spring, despite the weather not being very spring like!  Some of the children noticed buds on the trees outside which prompted lots of discussion about growing and changing and also guessing what the buds will grow into.   We also have an old birds nest in one of our nursery trees which a magpie has been visiting.  The children observed him ‘stealing sticks’ and used binoculars and our bird identification poster to work out what kind of bird it was.  We plan to investigate more about birds next week using our non fiction library and the internet.
