Incey Wincey Spider

Incey Wincey Spider climbed up the water spout,

Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain,

Incey Wincey spider climbed up the spout again.

Incey Wincey Spider climbed up the winter tree,

Down came the snow and made the spider freeze,

Out came the sunshine and melted all the snow,

Incey Wincey Spider had another go!

Happy New Year and welcome back to Nursery.    It’s lovely to see everyone back and children are all settled back into the Nursery routine.

We also welcome two new full-time members of staff to our team.  Emma and Karen.   These ladies will be key workers for the Yellow group (all-day children).

Ladywell Nursery children enjoyed lots of fun Christmas activities and a surprise video call from Santa.  We had a lovely snack, played games and sang Christmas songs.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Christmas Time!

Christmas Time has arrived at Ladywell Nursery. The children have been very busy decorating the Christmas tree and making various Christmas crafts. We have been exploring the Christmas display and learning why we celebrate Christmas.

The Children have been playing Christmas bingo and matching games demonstrating good turn taking skills.  We have been documenting our knowledge about Christmas through our Floor book using mark-makings while an adult scribed our thoughts and feelings. The children have enjoyed listening to various Christmas stories such as “Goodnight Santa”.

We enjoyed creating our Christmas crafts.

On Wednesday we all enjoyed our Christmas Lunch.

Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas from Ladywell Nursery.

The children in Ladywell Nursery have been learning about Autumn.

We have been exploring the Autumn table and talking tube and sharing our knowledge with each another.

“Leaves make a scrunch noise”

 “Leaves change colour”

“Leaves would feel rough”

“We wear a woolly hat when it gets cold”

“Autumn is when the leaves fall down from the tree’s”

“Acorns look like sausage rolls”

“Pumpkins put faces on them”.

“The leaves feel rough”

We had so much fun rolling about in the leaves.

Halloween

We enjoyed scraping out the inside of the pumpkin and carving a scary face.

“It feels slimy”.

“It smells funny”

“It has seeds inside”

This week in Inveralmond Early Years we have continued to have lots of Christmas fun.  We have been doing various craft activities, writing letters to Santa and playing Christmas games and puzzles.  We have also been enjoying practising Christmas songs and party games.

Christmas lunch was enjoyed by all on Wednesday .

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas,

We wish you a merry Christmas,

We wish you a merry Christmas,

And a Happy New Year!

Good tidings we bring,

To you and your kin,

We wish you a merry Christmas,

And a Happy New Year!

Oh bring us a sticky pudding x3

And a cup of good cheer!

We won’t go until we’ve got some x3

So bring some out here!

The words are a little different in this version but the tune is the one we know!

With the weather changing the children have been wrapping up warm and enjoying exploring the snow in the garden, making snow angels and snowballs.

Christmas activities have started within the nursery and the children have been gluing, sticking and writing letters to Santa.
