Good morning everyone.
Lunches will be available for all nursery children at the main door of the school from 12 noon until 1.30pm. Your child can choose from a hot lunch or a packed lunch with a choice of sandwich fillings. Information on the choices for each day are available on the school app or on the council website. You will also be able to pick up a box of cereal and carton of milk for your child’s breakfast the following morning. School staff will be at the main door to aid with the collection of these meals.
Today is going to be another nice day weather wise so we will post some activities that you could do outside either on your walk or in your garden. Remember that if you are going to be outdoors for a period of time it may be a good idea to apply some sun cream. It may not appear to be too warm but those rays can still be harmful.

Outdoor activities
When you are out for your daily exercise why not gather up some small stones that you could decorate at home. You could draw a rainbow, a love heart, flowers, a teddy or something else of your choice on the stone using paints or felt tip pens to do this. You could then gift these stones to family, friends or an elderly neighbour. You could also place them around your local areas for others to pick up and collect.
You could also collect some natural resources including small stones, leaves, flowers, sticks etc and use these to create a picture either by laying them on top of a piece of paper or on the ground.
Using chalk encourage your child to draw pictures and write on the pavement outside your home or on the slabs on your pathway. They can practice writing their name, write numbers from 0-10 in sequence. You could help them to draw a hopscotch and play the game together as a family.
Music
Moo music has a range of songs that provide children with different songs that they will enjoy listening to and joining in with. By copying the actions demonstrated on the screen the children will be developing both their fine and gross motor skills. To access Moo Music use this link
Story
Plants can’t sit still is a nice story about how plants grow and what they need to grow. To access this story use the link
Maybe while you are out for a walk you can look at the plants and trees in your local environment and discuss how these plants are moving. See how many different ways you can describe these movements developing your child’s vocabulary as you do so.
Have lots of fun outdoors but remember to stay safe and keep 2 meters away from others outwith your household.
