A royal wedding to end the week – what more could the princes and princesses of st Ninian’s Nursery want!
We were jam packed and book bug focussed this week as we celebrated the national ‘Book Bug week’ alongside the P1 classes.
The AM group enjoyed a storytelling session with our special guest – Miss Meechan, who shared a story chosen by the P1 pupils. The boys and girls thoroughly enjoyed this and it was another lovely build up to the transition into P1 by sharing a story with the P1 class and their teacher.
The PM group had another special guest in the shape of Mrs Smith, our depute head teacher. They thoroughly enjoyed a twisted fairytale all about Goldilocks eating her greens! The boys and girls who are going to school are becoming more familiar with school staff in their interactions with them across the nursery session, especially when they get a blether in the office with Mrs Findlay and Mrs Vetesse!
Our welly Wednesday was a glorious one this week as we basked in the beautiful sunshine in the garden. We have planted our veg patch which can been seen on the side of the hill which faces into the school car park.. we have so far planted tatties and will add carrots and Brussels sprouts to our list!
We also planted some sunflower seeds and put them in our little green house to flourish before we can transfer them to pots in the garden 🙂
Our book bug activity on welly Wednesday was being joined in the garden by our P6 buddies and parent helpers where we could all share a story in a small group/pair in the garden. The boys and girls loved this reading buddy set up and many lovely stories were shared.
Thursday was national ‘Outdoor Classroom Day’ where many school staff donned their outdoor learning kit of wellies and waterproofs.. not the staff of st Ninian’s Nursery – who got all glammed up to join their very well dressed boys and girls to celebrate the upcoming royal wedding with a garden party! There were sandwiches, croissants and cakes galore as we all enjoyed music, dancing, a fashion parade and the beautiful weather to mark the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan at the weekend.
At the end of book bug week let us remind you about the fabulous initiative that is Book Bug via the Scottish Book Trust;
