We would like to send a big thank you to Miss Armstrong who spent time with the nursery children attending Boghall Primary School. We loved looking at Rosie (The Puppet’s) School uniform and we look forward to meeting her puppet friends. Please continue to check the transition board for all updates on transition.

to two of our kind grandparents who have given up their time this morning to give our raised beds some much needed TLC.
If anyone else can spare some time to help us keep on top of our garden and orchard please speak to Mrs Todd – even just a half hour after dropping of or before collecting children. Every little helps. Parents, carers, grandparents, family friends all welcome.

Outdoor Learning
Here is a little clip of some of the learning that was also going on in the garden yesterday….
Stop watches help us to count when we are playing hide and seek.
Do you like our new rope swing Mrs Ola and the children attached to a big strong tree branch this week?
Digital Storytelling
We have been exploring sea creatures as part of our Under the Sea learning interest.
On Tuesday we painted a giant ocean on a big piece of paper out in the garden.
Yesterday we drew sea creatures and gave them a voice!
Then we brought them to life using digital technology.
We used the iPads and a free app, ChatterPix Kids.
Why don’t you have a look at the video below we put together using Apple Clips
