What a pleasure it is to work in this Nursery and provide such a warm educational environment for your children. This week has welcomed children to our setting and children back from holiday. ALL of them have settled back so comfortably and have been engaged in quality learning experiences.
MONDAY – saw three children join us in the nursery, the children were so welcoming and responsible as they helped these children to fit in with the Nursery routines.
TUESDAY – Education Scotland paid a visit to our school and Nursery today to ask staff, children and parents about our wonderful Head Teacher and the impact she has made to St Ninian’s Primary School. The children had an extra P.E session this week with the P.E students. They were amazing and provided a great athletics session up on the field.
WEDNESDAY – Welly Wednesday gave the children the opportunity to see the Swan on her nest. Lots of discussion followed about Cygnets and how many babies she will have. We will revisit her each week to see!! Some of the ducks were following us on the path, I think they though of bag of sticks was a bag of bread. This gave the children to see the birds up close and identify the colours and differences in the feather patterns.
THURSDAY – Following on from yesterday’s experiences with the ducks some children were engaged in hand painting Swans. We decided to look in our birds book to find out what the ducks were called. They are Mallard ducks. The female has the brown feathers and the male has green feathers on his head. P.E with Mr McCurdy involved the High Jump. Children were encouraged to run along the benches and jump over the elasticated rope. A great Athletic experience thank you Mr McCurdy.
FRIDAY – lots of outdoor play and investigation outside today as the children helped to look after our resources. The quality of play is amazing as the children risk assess and use open ended resources to build frames and constructions.
Have a lovely long weekend everyone!!! Love from the Staff Team x
