Outdoor Play

Good Morning everyone 🙂

We hope everyone is safe and well at home and enjoying your home learning experiences. Nursery staff have been working hard behind the scenes to plan for our children and support them from their home environment. We would like to remind you to check your learning journals for daily updates and fun new ideas to take part in if you wish to.  Within the parent contribution section you can upload pictures and updates of what you and your child have been busy doing at home we would love to see them.

Below are a few outdoor play ideas and suggestions from the Scottish Virtual Nature School that may support you and your child when engaging  in outdoor play throughout this time.

We are here to support you, Please do not hesitate to get in contact with your child’s keyworker or the leadership team may you have any queries or concerns.

Nursery Update

Here at Simpson Nursery Class we are getting used to our new nursery routines, The children are thriving in their learning bubbles and we would like to tell you a little bit more about what they are getting up to.

The children have come up with their very own names for their bubbles and are directing their own learning within the group through the use of their own floorbooks.

The brown, magnolia and grey bubble are called The Explorers.

The orange and blue bubble are called The Adventurers. 

The red and yellow bubble in the morning are called The Superheroes and the afternoon yellow and red bubble are called The Globe Stars.

The pink, purple and green bubble  are called The Puddle Jumpers.

Here a few snapshots of what we have been getting up to!

 

Relax Kids Calm Booklet

As we look forward to welcoming our pupils back to school and nursery next week, I thought I would share the ‘Back to Calm with Relax Kids’ booklet for parents.

As children may be worrying or feeling anxious about returning to school or nursery, this booklet contains good information and activities for parents to work on with their children to help prepare them.

I hope you find it useful.
