This week the children have been continuing to find out about Scotland. The Scottish artwork this week has been thistles and making tartan using cars and paint. During our group time sessions we have been practicing our number skills by counting bears and recognising numbers. The children have shown an interest in airplanes and picnics this week. A big well done to all our afternoon nursery children who put on their assembly this week and did a fantastic job. Thank you to all the parents and carers who were able to come along and support them. This coming week the children will be looking at maps of Scotland and finding out about the loch ness monster.

The nursery team were excited to welcome the children back after their holidays. The areas in the nursery had been moved around and the children had fun during the first day exploring the new opportunities for play. As usual the building bricks proved very popular with a lot of construction and boat building going on as well as the house corner with some cooking and washing up taking place. In the afternoon some of the children helped to prepare snack and demonstrated great skill when spreading the margarine on the crackers.  This coming week the focus will continue to be on Winter and developing independence but the writing area will become a post office as the children in both sessions have shown an interest in writing and making letters.
