Internet Safety Advice
Good morning,
A quick reminder of the fantastic NSPCC Net-Aware website https://www.net-aware.org.uk/which gives detailed advice and reviews of the different social media apps which young people use. It covers over 50 different apps including popular apps like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat to lesser known apps such as MovieStarPlanet, Kik, Roblox and Musical.ly. It reviews the levels of risk associated with each app and also includes the views of different young people about each app and how safe they feel using it. This is an excellent website for parents to use where issues are arising with a particular app.

If I had a hammer!
This week the children have been very busy exploring our new tool area. They have been drilling, hammering, measuring and sanding. We have all been so proud at how carefull the children have been and how everyone has followed the safety instructions when using the tools . The children have started risk assessing the area themselves, reminding each others to put on the safety googles and stay back. 
Stay and play
Thank you to everyone that managed to come to stay and play yesterday. It is a great opportunity for your child to show you all the different play activities they enjoy at nursery and for you to see a wee snippet of their day.
Stay and play is the first Monday of the month, morning sessions 8.45am till 9.45am afternoon session is 12.10pm till 1.10pm.
Date for the Diary – P3/4 Shopping trip
Through their health and well being topic the children are learning about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. On Tuesday 9 October we will visit our local Lidl to investigate different food options and buy ingredients to make and eat a healthy snack on return to school.
No money is required and children should still bring or order their own lunch as normal.
If your child has any dietary restrictions that we are not yet aware of please advise Mrs Strain as soon as possible.
Thank you
Dinosaur fun in the woods
Today we searched for different sizes of leaves on the way to the woods, the children then sorted them into size order small medium and large. Some of us stopped for a while and watched the wind blowing the leaves, noticing how the wind gusts strong and soft and how quickly the clouds moved in the sky changing its colour. Mrs Morton offered the children a chance to help her on a dinosaur hunt, 4 had gone missing in the woods. The children searched high and low , looking in trees and the undergrowth. Some children built dinosaur dens to keep them safe, while Miss Gardner helped the children to build traps to catch more. Miss Fraser invited the children to identify numbers and place the correct amount of sticks or leaves on them. What a busy day in the woods!
