The Children have been really interested in herbs. This has come from some of our Children who have been engaged in play in the house area of the nursery. The Children have been observed talking about things they are making e.g soup, salad. The have been chopping and mixing herbs and vegetables which has been extended into other areas of the nursery.  We have given the Children the opportunity prepare and taste some herbs in the snack room.  As an extension of this activity we have planned to plant our own herbs in the nursery garden over the next few weeks.

The writing table has been a busy activity this week as the Children write their letters to chefs in local restaurants asking if they are available to come and chat to them about there. If there are any parents who are a chef or know of anyone and would like to come in for a short time to speak to our nursery Children we would be very grateful. This would be a fantastic opportunity for them to meet people in their local community.

Please keep a look out for our new GIRFEC wall in the cloakroom which we hope to add to over the next few weeks. The Children have been discussing our new Emoji Friends which have been introduced at group time and the Children have been involved in naming them(have a look at our Gemma board). This displayed is an ongoing theme and information will be added to it from time to time.
