Spring and Easter

We have been learning about Spring and Easter. We painted lovely spring flowers and made them into a display. We have made pictures with our fingerprints which are on display in the nursery entrance. We have been learning about the Easter story at small group time and have made Easter cards and decorated easter pictures. As a treat we had Hot Cross Buns for snack. The children have enjoyed reading Easter stories and had fun with the interactive Easter display. Below is a link to the Easter Story we watched in nursery.

Just a wee reminder that all children return to nursery on Monday 15th April

Happy Easter from all the staff at Knightsridge EYC

Red Nose Day

On Thursday 14th March in the afternoon and Friday the 15th March in the morning the children and staff all came to nursery dressed in their pyjamas and onesies to raise money for Red Nose Day. The children were learning about contributing their time to bring about positive change in the wider community. The photographer from the Lothian Courier came to take our pictures and the children all had fun posing for the camera so look out for our photograph in the paper. All together we raised £80 for Comic Relief. Well Done Knightsridge EYC.

The Three Little Pigs

In nursery we have been learning all about the story of the Three Little Pigs. The children have been listening to the story in smallgroup times and have been drawing lovely pictures from the story. We have also made houses from straw, sticks and bricks which we made into a wall disply. The children have really enjoyed learning how to make their own pig masks using different materials. Some of the children have also been acting out the story using puppets.
