Learners Journals

Link Leave a comment

Our children have been exploring their Learners Journals, have you?

They have the opportunity to access it within nursery and enjoy scrolling to see what their key worker has been writing.  The children loved seeing some of their parents comments as well.

Why not leave a little comment or like your child/children’s observations and they will get to view this in nursery!

If you cannot access your child/children’s learners journal please speak to Miss Reid or Miss Robertson.

Thank you for your continued support, we can’t wait too see all your lovely comments.

Mini Builders

Leave a comment

The children were observing the workmen who were working on the roof of the house behind nursery and building an extension.

Ellie and Aria then began building in the stones making a house of stones, bricks and wood. This captured the interest of a wider group of children who then joined in and began to build pretending to hammer using the plastic bricks.
Miss Wilkins then introduced a large piece of wood, hammers and small nails to allow the children to safely practice using the tools on the workbench.
We had lots of lovely discussions about what we could build-aeroplanes, cars, different materials and types of houses etc.

If any of our parents have loose parts such as bricks and rubble, nuts and bolts, cable reels etc you can donate to our nursery to develop our nursery experiences we would greatly appreciate it. 

Thank you
