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.

A huge thank you to all of our parents and carers who came along to the event, we hope that you enjoyed having a look around the nursery and meeting with the staff.  Here are a few photographs…

On Wednesday the P7 class took a trip to Sky Skills Studio in Livingston to make a 6 minute TV report called Mind, Body and Sport. The children had to work as a team and developed their skills such as self management, creativity and problem solving.
