Some children have begun to notice signs of spring in the nursery garden. Daffodil heads, snow drop and crocuses are beginning to appear.
One of the art tables has a stimulus of flowers and a spring book to further engage them in looking for signs of spring and to add some beautiful paintings to our art wall. If you are out and about see if you can find any other signs with your child/children.
Mrs Gray from NYCOS [National Youth Choir of Scotland] was back in on Monday to take the rest of the groups for some music and movement activities. This week she worked with the orange, purple, pink and red groups. She was very good with the children and staff and is going to send us a DVD and some props so we can continue to further explore and engage the children in these activities.
Gemma’s words for this week were loud/quiet, pattern, camouflage, forwards and backwards.
Our muddy kitchen which the children love is looking a bit tired and in need of a revamp if you would like to be involved and are free on Wednesday 25th April at 10:30am or 12:30pm Mrs Marshall and Ms Henderson invite you to come to their Muddy Kitchen Makeover meeting. If you can’t make it but have some ideas please speak to them.
Care commission visited the nursery on Tuesday morning to have a look at our snack menu and observe how independent the children are while following the snack routine and their engagement in preparing the vegetables for the afternoons snack. We look forward to their feedback.
