This week has been action packed – including the return of some snow!
The boys and girls have been full of creativity this week, painting on cling film, painting faces on plastic sheets – these exciting experiences have built on all the fun of tartan painting last week and have filled our easel with beautiful art work! We have been really interested in faces this week – have a look at our doorway to the school hall to see some of our handy work 🙂 this is something you can explore at home by checking what naming words your child knows to describe their face; eyes, nose, mouth are straightforward but what about nostrils, eyebrows and earlobes?
Food Prep snack on Thursday was scrambled eggs! Each week we take suggestions for food prep snack from our children and this week Lucy (AM) asked to make scrambled eggs! Miss Burns had a great time with the children as they cracked their eggs, added milk and margarine and whisked them before Miss Burns cooked them in the pan – the queue for snack was a mile long and the mini chefs were very proud of their accomplishments! Maybe your child could have a go this weekend? Share photos on their online journal gallery and/or our Facebook and twitter accounts!
Welly Wednesday was almost cancelled again due our glorious Scottish weather but fortunately we made it out, however briefly for some of us! As our Welly Wednesday sessions continue, Mrs Martinek has used the feedback from parents/children to create a plan for welly Wednesdays between now and the Easter holidays – hopefully as the weather improves so will the time we have available to explore on Welly Wednesday sessions!
Today we bade farewell to Miss Pinkett our college student who has been with us Wed/Thurs over the last few months! She has made a wonderful impression on our young people and will make a great practitioner when she qualifies next year – goodbye and good luck Miss Pinkett!
Please ensure you are receiving our weekly update emails over the weekend – any problems please speak to your child’s key worker 🙂
Have a lovely weekend!
Looks and sounds like a fab time was had by all this week!! Kian is very keen to show us how to paint on Cling film and explore what funny faces we can all make! Kian has really enioyed dressing up as a pirate all this week which is something new he’s explored with some of the children and has loved making Accordions with Mrs Hogg and cannot wait to get his very own for his birthday!! I collected a sad little boy today who had a little cry when heading to the car. He has just loves having Miss Pinkett in the nursery and said he’s going to Miss her lots and lots. Good luck Miss Pinkett and thank you from the Quinn’s! 😀💛💚💜
