As we continue to learn about Spring, we have chosen our April ‘Rhyme of the Month’ – 5 little daffodils. The children have been creating their own interpretations of daffodils through various art activities which they have proudly displayed alongside our rhyme.

Through this rhyme, the children have been exploring and developing their number recognition 0-5 forward and backwards.

We have began to explore our new topic of ‘Spring’. We have explored lots of signs of spring as we went out local walks and have began discussing this in small groups. This is being evidenced in our nursery floorbook. We will continue to update this over the coming weeks with more Spring based experiences.

We are continuing to explore our Forest Fun adventures each week in both the morning and afternoon sessions. Please have a look at our updated Forest Fun display within the cloakroom where you can see what your child has been up to both on our wall display and floorbook!

Our pre-school children visited the firepit this week where they joined in with the school to promote our Primary 1 transition as we ‘Read by the campfire’.

Our children discussed books they enjoy reading and even toasted a marshmallow over the campfire!

On Thursday 6th March, Letham ELC celebrated World Book Day with a Bookbug session. We had Alistair, a nursery grandparent in to read us a story and we spoke about our favourite books as the children dressed up as different characters!

We even had another special visitor in to see all of the AM & PM children, Bookbug!!
