NURSERY – Fun Learning at Home
Hello Everyone,
We hope you had a good weekend and enjoyed reuniting safely outdoors with family and friends.
Here are some new idea’s to share with the your child at home. Please continue to let us know how they get on through their Learning Journal. Enjoy!
New Life
The nursery ladies have been out walking and cycling and they have seen lots of new baby animals at Mill Farm and Lanthorne Pond. They have taken these photo’s to share with you.
Encourage your child to watch out for new animal life when outdoors and share your photo’s through Home Learning on your child’s Learning Journal. This activity encourages lots of discussion about animals, babies, families and new life as well as exercising outdoors and learning about technology. Give your child a camera or device to take photos and help them to upload them onto their Learning Journal’s.
You can extend this further by helping your child to search online for the names of animals e.g. Cygnet, Calf, Foal.
Can you name all the animals you find?
Do you know what a female cow, horse or swan is called?
Can you count how many babies the animals have had?
L.1. I am learning about where living things come from and about how they grow, develop and are nurtured.
Literacy
Access these links to further extend your child’s learning with baby animals.

Fun with Fruit
Involve your child in choosing fruit/vegetables to make a nutritious smoothie or milkshake or keep the animal theme going and make a fruit dolphin!
L.1. Together we enjoy handling, tasting, talking and learning about different foods, discovering ways in which eating and drinking may help us to grow and keep healthy.
Salt Dough Decorations
The children enjoy baking and cooking at nursery and independently follow step by step instructions through picture and photo books.
Try this easy pictorial recipe to make salt dough decorations with your child, allowing their creativity to flourish when decorating them.
L.1. Inspired by a range of stimuli, I can express and communicate my ideas, thoughts and feelings through activities within art and design
Remember to have a look at http://blogs.glowscotland.org,uk/wl/snonursery for more learning at home ideas.
We look forward to seeing your photos and learning on your child’s Learning Journal’s.

You house needs you! Let’s go!
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.
