NURSERY – Sharing Home Learning

We would like to thank our families who are posting photo’s and keeping in touch through Home Learning on Learning Journals.  It’s lovely to hear what our children and families have been doing during lockdown.  East Calder Nursery Team are missing each and every one of our fabulous children and seeing little snippets of their learning and fun at home keeps us smiling!  It keeps us interacting and building our shared partnership and it’s an effective way of communicating and asking for advice if you need it.  Our Team will continue to be here to share advice, support and fun learning to all our families. Our Fun Learning at Home ideas and suggestions are posted on our Nursery Blog every week on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

If you are having difficulty using Home Learning please follow the instructions below

 

How to keep in touch on Learning Journal’s

There is a ‘Home Learning’ button on your child’s Learning Journal. This means you can share all your fun and learning with the nursery staff while recording it on their personal profile.
This button is located on the left hand side of your child’s profile. It is a blue button called Home Learning, click on it and you will be able to add posts and pictures.

Keep up the great work P3R!

Thank you to everyone for sending me photos of all your fantastic work!

I was so impressed with those of you who joined in with the Great East Calder Primary school Run on Friday.

It was a hot day for running! Super effort!

What a great start to Health Week and I hope you will try out some of Mr Millar’s activities this week!

I am missing you all and love to see and hear about what you are doing at home.

Stay safe,

Mrs Robertson P3R

The Great Science Share – Week 5

What did you investigate last week? Did you try to re-grow any vegetables? Did you track the journey of your banana from tree to fruit bowl? Did you make something out of your household waste?

This week our theme is UN World Environment Day

Have you been inspired by Greta Thunberg?

How clean is the air near to where you live? Has there been a change in air quality around the world since we have been staying at home over the last few months?

How can you make a positive impact on the environment?

How can you clean dirty water?

How do cow burps affect climate change? (This is an interesting one!)

 

Remember and tag me in your Teams post or email your investigations into school!

Have fun investigating!

Mrs Beattie

We hope you and your child enjoy this weeks story 🙂 Maybe you can spot some butterflies in your garden or when you are out walking or maybe you would like to draw or make one.
