What great fun we have had this week participating in National Nursery Rhyme Week! Each day we had a different nursery rhyme to learn! We voted for our favourite nursery rhyme too, it was very hard to choose but here are our favourites:
AM CLASS- Doctor Foster
PM CLASS- Baa Baa Black Sheep
We also got our families involved too! We gave our parents a very tricky quiz to see if they could remember nursery rhymes from their childhood! Here are the lucky winners:
Well done folks!! Enjoy your chocolates! 🙂
Today we learned all about the poppy and what it means. We watched a video that helped us to understand and we stopped playing today at 11:00am so that we could hold a minute silence to remember all the people who have been hurt in Wars. We liked looking at Poppies and we thought they were very beautiful and made us feel happy.
Also this week we were “upcycling” this means to take something old that you no longer need and turn it into something new! Mrs Hogg brought in an old CD tower and we decided we would make it into a planter for our nursery garden. First we had to turn it upside down and drill holes in the bottom to make it a proper planter. These holes will let the water drain out. Then we took it outside and planted bulbs using the compost left over from our potatoes. We are very much looking forward to our flowers blooming in the springtime! 🙂
We were also feeling very flexible this week during gym when Mr McCurdy and the Primary 6’s were helping us to learn gymnastics! We absolutely loved using all the equipment and apparatus and we can’t wait to do it all again next week!!
This week it’s the Am Class turn to share their learning on the blog:
Anna- “I have like drawing pictures for my mummy.”
Annabelle- “I love playing outside!”
Abu Bakr- “My favourite thing about this week was meeting our new friend Liam 🙂 ”
Roma- “I love playing in the ice!”
Connor- “I love looking at the nursery rhymes on the smartboard.”
Abigail- “I have liked building with the bricks this week.”
Seren- “I enjoyed planting our bulbs.”
What a busy week we have had!!
Next week it’s Children in Need and we will be fundraising to support this cause. The theme this year is “Show your Spots” so we are asking the children to wear something spotty and bring along a little donation on:
PM CLASS Thursday 17th November
AM CLASS Friday 18th November
Thank you very much in advance for your support with this.
Finally we would like to give you a little advance notice that the photographer will be visiting the school and nursery on Thursday 24th November for our annual pictures.
Have a lovely weekend everyone
The Nursery team 🙂
The children were so well behaved during the minutes silence today. The preparation clearly worked. Also can’t wait for the school photos. A great momento to remember such happy times.
The children were fabulous today, we are very proud of them! 😁Mrs Craig
Well done to the quiz winners! I was completely useless at it.
The drilling looks like fun. Christopher would’ve loved this, he loves his dad’s tools.
Don’t worry, plenty more opportunities coming up to use the real tools! 😁 Mrs Craig
Thanks for giving Liam such a warm welcome! He loves his new nursery 😊
You are very welcome, It was lovely to meet you both. Hopefully Liam will be feeling confident to come back on Monday! 😁Mrs Craig
What a beautiful animation to help our children understand the significance of the poppy. Roma and I watched this again this morning together. She’s had another fun filled week at nursery – thank you!
What a brilliant week, I particularly loved the up cycling, what a great idea to use the cd tower as a planter, I’m sure you will all be excited to watch the bulbs you planted to grow.
What a great idea to involve the families in the nursery rhymes competition!
Well done nursery on preparing for the minute silence today, it’s great to read how well behaved you all were and how well prepared you were with the little animation
