We will celebrate Burns Day early, on Tuesday 23rd January, this will be part of our learning about our town, our country and it’s culture. On this day we encourage everyone to wear something tartan — we will also be tasting some haggis, neeps and tatties and listening to some Scottish music and having a try at reciting some Scottish poetry.
Story sacks will be launching on Thursday 1st February for all ante pre school children. (Big Bed Time Read is fro Pre school children.) Come and have a look at the Story Sack on display in the foyer to discover what can be inside a story sack! Each week a different group will take it in turns to choose a Story Sack on a Thursday and bring it back on a Monday. There is a comments book inside each sack and we would love to hear your feedback.
We will be celebrating St Andrews Day in nursery on Wednesday next week (29th November), due to the Christmas Fair being on actual St Andrews Day.
Children can wear something tartan to nursery on Wednesday if they wish and we will have a special Scottish snack that day and learn a little bit about St Andrew.

This week we have been creative with glitter, paint and colour tabs to create various firework pictures and effects…
“We shook glitter into the water and mixed all the colours together!” …. “We threw the glitter up in the air and pretended it was fireworks.” ….. “We watched in fall down and sprinkle onto the water.” ….. ” It was great fun making firework sounds!”….. “We put colour tabs into the water and watched them dissolve, the water turned blue, red, green and orange then black!”
We have also been learning about the important messages from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and how we can keep ourselves safe when at fireworks displays.
Please see the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Safety Advice to ensure you have a safe Bonfire night!
Did you know that sparklers get five times hotter than cooking oil? Sparklers are not toys and should never be given to a child under five?

At the end the boys and girls sang the nursery Eco Song. Over £500 was raised for school funds! Thank you to everyone who came along and supported this event.
Please have a look at the photos and videos below you – might recognise some familiar characters!
Today we are learning all about how Red Nose Day helps others less fortunate. In nursery we heard Haja, a little girl from Sierra Leon in Africa. Haja lived beside a smelly, dirty, dangerous rubbish dump before a project funded by Red Nose Day was able to help.
This is the poem all about Haja we are playing on the Smartboard, please have a look at home.
