Keep in touch on Learning Journal’s
We have now added a ‘Home Learning’ button to 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.
We look forward to seeing all the fun you are having.

Good Morning Everyone
Here are some suggested activities to give a try.
Build a den – Build a den indoors using a range of materials e.g. sheets, pegs, chairs, clothes horse, table etc or build outdoors using same resources in garden. You could use your den to have some quiet time in (drawing, reading, listening to music, role playing). If you are out a walk in the woods you could try building a den using sticks and/or tarpaulin sheet. L.I I am Learning how to problem solve.
Read – Read your favourite book and then recall/retell the story while acting it out (everyone can have a role). L.I I am learning how to concentrate and listen. I am learning how to introduce a story into my play.
Dance – Show off your best dance moves to your favourite songs. You could also follow dance routines on just dance which the children love to do in nursery. Here are links to some of the favourites in nursery. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=just+dance+disney, https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=just+dance+for+kids L.I. I am learning ways to be active and improve my wellbeing.
Number chart – Make your own number chart/line using loose parts around the house and garden. L.I I have explored numbers, understanding that they represent quantities, and I can use them to count using 1-1 correspondence.
Remember you can also have a look at https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/wl/snonursery/ for more ideas.
Hope you all have a good day

Hi everyone!
I’ve attached below a science grid for each level for you to do at home. Have fun with them (and make sure someone at home knows what you are doing!)
I’m looking forward to seeing how you get on.
Enjoy!
Mrs Beattie 🙂
Good evening everyone – please see groupcall emails and below for some examples of some online learning activities that can be completed at home. We know that TEAMS has been particularly slow with the extensive volume of traffic using it, so these might make a good alternative.
