Its been a busy couple of weeks in the nursery!!
We’re not quite sure where to start!!
“Stay and Play” sessions have been happening over the last fortnight giving Parents/Carers the the opportunity to visit nursery and find out about all the exciting activities the children are involved in.
This was a great success with parents joining in activities and engaging with all the children, we even had the birth of a baby in the hospital, much to the surprise of the Mummy in question!
Parents/Carers were also encouraged to giving feedback on what the nursery are doing well and where we can improve. There were some truly lovely comments given and some fantastic ideas which have given us food for thought!
There will be a “You said, We did” display arranged so you will be able to see how we aim to take your comments forward.
The library opportunity with Primary 6 is in full swing! The Primary 6’s take small groups of children to the library to read to them and also helping them to choose a story to share at home. This is a great opportunity for the children to meet older children within the school and develop relationships with those who will be buddies for our pre-school children attending Boghall as Primary 1 next year.
We are really lucky to have Alison from Caterpillar Music and Mrs Grey from the National Youth Choir of Scotland come and visit us within the nursery both offering great opportunities to join in with singing and games.
Mrs Grey from the National Youth Choir of Scotland visits us on Tuesday and Thursday helping us to develop our circle games, follow rhythm and beat as well as singing together as a group. Alison from Caterpillar Music will be attending in 6 week blocks moving days as the blocks progress so that all the children have the opportunity to attend sessions. Alison uses themes, instruments and fun songs to engage the children with rhythm and beat.
Both opportunities help develop vocabulary and are great fun!
During a walk to Kirkton Park we got a little side tracked by the puddles….
This was a fantastic opportunity to get outside and splash, the children are developing their self help skills by getting ready independently and also dressing themselves once we return to nursery (I don’t think there was a dry sock to be found anywhere!!)
