To foster Kindness, and Encouragement ensuring all Young learners achievements are Celebrated
As part of West Lothian Money Week we have been learning about money through a variety of activities. We have played with coins in the play dough and we made our own piggy banks with boxes and various art materials. We also explored coins through cutting and sticking activities at small group time and we completed coin jigsaws. The part of the week we enjoyed the most was when we went shopping to Mrs Currie’s fruit shop and bought our own piece of fruit.
Recently in nursery the children have been exploring and learning about numbers, colours and shapes. We have been cutting squares, triangles, circles and rectangles in the playdough and talking about the different colours of the shapes. We have been playing with shape and coloured jigsaws. Some of the children went on a shape walk where they looked for different 3D shapes around our centre which they then turned into a lovely disolay. We have been making pictures using different shapes and painting nunbers. We have also made a lovely number display and a very popular coloured Elmer display. We are encouragong counting through simple number songs and rhymes.
