What a day it was \ud83d\ude42 the AM and PM groups enjoyed a woodland walk to the Mid Calder woods, across the bridge. We discussed many things before, during and after our walk. Some of these included safety when out and about; \u00a0we seen broken glass and dogs mess and discussed how to keep ourselves safe from these hazards. We talked about when it is ok to run and when we need to stop (when Mrs Conway, or another adult, shouts STOP!). When we got to the woods we learned about &#8216;jaggy&#8217; nettles and dock leaves &#8211; we even had two &#8216;nurses&#8217; on the PM walk who took charge of the magic leaves incase anyone needed them. We all collected some interesting things and brought them back to nursery, including sticks, stones, leaves and acorns.<\/p>\n<p>We are looking for a catchy name for our outdoor learning days &#8211; feel free to add one to our facebook post, or tell the nursery staff any ideas you have!<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Caskie has been busy this week setting up our &#8216;Big Bedtime Read&#8217; initiative. We are hoping to increase parental engagement and give children great literacy experiences through this initiative, where each child will receive a book pack with five stories each week. As part of our Pupil Equity Funding we hope to achieve 80% of our children to be sharing bedtime stories with their families on four nights of the week or more. You will see our lovely &#8216;bedtime&#8217; area created in the nursery &#8211; letters went out today to outline the plans for this and we look forward to launching it at the beginning of October.<\/p>\n<p>Next week is &#8216;MATHS WEEK SCOTLAND&#8217; &#8211; the boys and girls have enjoyed exploring the talking tub which was full of interesting maths resources, their views and ideas have been taken into account and will be used to plan learning for next week. Please come along to stay and play, or come back and play next week &#8211; sign up sheets in the nursery!<\/p>\n<p>PEEP classes begin on 22nd September &#8211; Mrs Beattie is hoping to meet some of our PM parents this week to encourage their attendance at these classes \ud83d\ude42 a fantastic way for kids and parents to bond!<\/p>\n<p>Ninian&#8217;s Natter is on Thursday 6-7pm &#8211; please do come along! Nursery staff will be on hand to chat all things nursery and have you joining in with maths week activities \ud83d\ude42 kids and parents welcome!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2017\/09\/IMG_9576.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17860\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/stniniansps\/files\/2017\/09\/IMG_9576-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week has seen the beginning of our Outdoor Learning days!
