Today the P7 class went to a food event which was held in Livingstone Football Club.  They watched a chef demonstrate how to cook mussels and mackerel, made smoothies, watched a barista make coffee and tasted lots of other freshly cooked items such as pasta, scones and bread.  The children also gathered lots of career information about careers they may enter into linked with the food industry.

Thank you to our parents and carers who came along to help out last Saturday on the ‘Big Dig’.   The nursery garden is now looking lovely thanks to all of your hard work.

The children enjoyed sitting inside our new wigwam this week…

We enjoyed using the apples we collected from the school grounds to do some fruit printing…

Mrs Galloway had set us a challenge at the playdough table this week. We had to see if we could create hedgehogs with playdough and pasta. We had fun making tall spaghetti towers and we could even thread pasta and cheerios onto the spaghetti!

What a busy week we’ve had.

Dressing up as firefighters and acting out different emergency situations was very exciting but we know only to call 999 in a real emergency.

We made very special Halloween cards to help boost the morale of soldiers.  We hope they will like our spooky witches!

Phonics is now underway-we learned our first two sounds-s and a.  Mrs McKay was delighted with our homework.

Some activities to help us remember our new sounds included making springy snakes and amazing alligators!

We have been very lucky with the weather this week and our nursery children have enjoyed playing outside in the garden.  The children were using their large muscles to balance, jump and roll.

Our new outdoor kitchen has been very popular with our children and they have been using their imaginations to create different recipes

The children helped to make healthy pitta pizza’s for snack and were using their social skills to take turns and share the ingredients.
