Hello Everyone,
Mental Health and Wellbeing
During this uncertain time with lots of changes and adjustments happening, it is important that you take steps to ensure you and your families mental health and wellbeing are a top priority. Emotions can be tricky for young children to express, often leading to frustration and tantrums. We have suggested stories and activities to support you with your child’s emotions and feelings, they will encourage your child to talk about how they are feeling and help them to release any worries they may have.
Lucy’s in Lockdown by Chris Duke – A short animated video on You Tube about children’s different emotions experienced during lockdown. To share the story with your child please click here
While We Can’t Hug by Eoin McLaughlin – A short virtual storybook on You Tube to share with your child when they are missing their loved ones and friends. Please click here
@EarlyYearsScot on Twitter suggested a few tips to help promote good mental health and wellbeing in children…
Emotion Stones
Getting outdoors, being active and accessing fresh air are all good ways to relieve stress. While out on a socially distanced walk you could collect some stones, rocks or pebbles to create emotion stones. Enjoy spending time creating your stones and keep them somewhere close by. On days where your young child seems to be going through many emotions ask them to show you how they feel if they are struggling to find the words. Another good way of children expressing how they feel is through drawing, painting or writing it down. A letter was written and shared on Home Learning by one of our nursery children, she had written in her own way that she ‘wanted lockdown to end as she really misses her friends’ this can positively lead your child to open up by telling you what they have written or drawn.
We hope you find this information both helpful and supportive. More suggestions for fun and learning at home can be found at http://blogs.glowscotland.org,uk/wl/snonursery
Take care everyone

That’s right The Great East Calder Run is back for a second year.
This is our final week of training before Sports Day next week! The focus of this grid is to develop our running speed and endurance this will help you complete the Great East Calder Run on Friday.
Have fun!

What did you investigate last week? Did you go on a nature scavenger hunt? I went out with my son and we found 3 millipedes in the garden, and we even found a toad under the hedge! This was the most interesting as we don’t have any water near us so we investigated this! It turns out that toads live away from water in leaf litter and log piles and they can even dig shallow burrows. Wow!
This week our theme is Waste Warrior Week
We, as a society, are very wasteful. Can you investigate what happens to our waste?
How are food and household items produced?
How far does your food have to travel to get to your plate?
How long does it take for different types of plastic to decompose?
How can we reduce, reuse or re-purpose our waste? What can you make or create?
Can you grow any vegetables at home? (There is a great way to re-grow some types of vegetables – I regrow spring onions by popping the chopped off root into water and letting them grow again! Can you try this?)
Remember and tag me in your Teams post or email your investigations into school!
Have fun saving the planet Waste Warriors!

Hope you had a lovely weekend. Here is your Home Learning Grid for this week. It will also be available on your Class Team and shared with parents too. Any questions please get in contact with your class teacher on Teams. Keep up the hard work.
This week we would like you to watch and listen to the story ‘It’s a Seashell Day’ by Diane Ochiltree with your child. The story and learning activities suggested are an ideal way to further develop your child’s number sense and the counting principles. This learning will be revisited when your child starts Primary 1. Please follow the link below to access the story ‘It’s a Seashell Day’. We hope you enjoy it 🐚

We hope you and your child enjoy this weeks story 🙂 Maybe you can continue to find ways to count objects in your house and/or garden or maybe you can spot numbers and collections of objects in your environment or out on your walks.
Good afternoon everyone,
I hope you and your families have had a great week and have enjoyed the nice weather. Thank you again for the home learning that has been sent this week. Here are some more examples of the hard work you have all been doing at home.
