Hefty the Albino Anaconda was very well behaved!
Forest Trip
During November and December we were out on our exciting trips to Fauldhouse Forest. The children had great fun learning interesting facts and survival tips from the Forest Ranger. We even got to pick and help cut down our very own Christmas Trees for our Nursery.
Eco Week
Eco week begins on Monday 13th May. During this week all children will have the opportunity to take part in the Big Spring Clean and each group will plant seeds which they will look after and plant out to enhance the garden area. Using games and group time activities children will also learn about recycling, reinforcing the eco work done throughout the year.
Eco Ted
Children have been learning a new Eco Code song which was ‘composed’ by some of the pupils from Whitdale Primary School. We also have a new ‘Eco Ted’ who is going to be part of our plans to involve children in recycling and other Eco activities in the nursery and at home.
What a busy start to the New Year!
Due to the cold weather children have been observing and feeding the birds. We used binoculars to observe them more closely and children recorded and extended their learning in our Winter floorbook.
On the 25th January we celebrated our Scottish heritage. We had vegetarian haggis, neeps and tatties, we enjoyed dancing to Scottish music, listening to Scottish stories and learned traditional songs and rhymes. Children developed their mathematical knowledge by making their own tartan patterns.
Children have been very interested in the demolition of the old nursery and school building. This has generated a lot of discussion which we will take forward in our new Construction floorbook.
