This week our learning experiences were centred around Robert Burns. We worked together to decide what we could learn about and recorded our ideas on our learning wall. Doesn’t it look great?
We decided that to find out more information about Robert Burns we could use books or the internet. We found a video for children that told the story of Robert Burns and we really enjoyed listening and watching for information. We learned that he wrote poems and songs for girls and that he worked on a farm. Some of us could even sing his most famous song “Auld Lang Syne!” We also learned that each year he is celebrated on the 25th January with a Burns Supper. We decided to host our own Burns supper too and we tasted Haggis, neeps and tatties and had a special visitor from a piper. What a fun learning experience 🙂
We have been linking our Robert Burns knowledge to our recent numeracy work on patterns and we have made some tartan patterns too. I wonder what we will do next??
Also this week we have really enjoyed playing outside and exploring our nursery garden. We have been looking out for birds and we decided we should take up bird watching. To attract more birds to our garden we thought of a great idea- ‘lets make bird cake!” We will make bird cake next week and think of interesting ways to record the birds that visit our garden.
We have also been learning that Saint Ninian’s Primary School will be celebrating it’s 40th Anniversary next week!! We were very kindly asked to take part in the School’s time capsule so we recorded our favourite things from 2017 including hobbies, films, songs and sports and we also added in pictures of our classes too. What a special event to be part of! 🙂
Each term we try to host a fundraising event to raise money for our nursery. This term we are holding a Sponsored Welly Walk which will be happening next week. All we ask is that you you send your child to nursery in their Wellies and waterproofs (if necessary) and bring a little donation if possible. We will be going on a walking adventure around the local woodlands and pond and we might even have a special picnic! We can’t wait!
PM CLASS- THURSDAY 2ND FEBRUARY
AM CLASS- FRIDAY 3RD FEBRUARY
On Monday and Tuesday next week we will be celebrating Chinese New Year, the year of the Rooster!! We have set up a Chinese restaurant in our role play area and we are looking forward to learning all about Chinese culture. On Monday our nursery snack will be Chinese food, yum yum!!! We will also have a very special visit from a Mandarin teacher who will help us to learn some Chinese phrases, how exciting!! 🙂
Here are a few more photos from our adventures at nursery this week, have a lovely weekend everyone!
