Now that the children have been able to get back into the nursery garden they have been helping to prepare the soil for our vegetable planting. We will be planning the planting with the children and going for walks to the local garden centre to buy seeds for sowing.

Greenhouse Update
A huge ‘Thank You’ to everyone who has brough in bottles for our greenhouse! We have quite a lot but need to count them now and make up the sides of the greenhouse. Keep bringing in the bottles, we’ll let you know when we have enough!!!
Chinese New Year
We celebrated Chinese New Year and the Year of the Rabbit in the nursery. The children had the opportunity to practice chinese writing, learn the story of the famous animals of Chinese New Year and watched a dvd about how chinese families celebrate their New Year. The children also had the opportunity to taste various chinese food. Some children made lovely chinese fans and chinese lanterns to add to our beautiful chinese display!
Burns Supper
We celebrated Robert Burns’ birthday in the nursery through a week of various scottish activities. The children in both sessions learned and practised scottish poems to take part in a special Scottish Glow meet. Our children performed to other schools and nurseries in West Lothian through Glow and were magnificent! We then enjoyed our special Burns Supper snack where the children were able to taste tatties, haggis and neeps. Elaine Webster visited the nursery to tell the children some scottish stories and learn some scottish words.
