Here are some of our photos from our last weekly walk. We were buying some healthy foods to enjoy for our snack.

Our children had great fun the other week playing with the dough. Click on the posters to see their comments.

We are performing ‘Three Craws’ at the special Scottish Assembly on Friday 29th January (a.m. group only). We are planning to perform it again for parents on Tuesday 2nd February. The performances will take place at 10.50 and 2.50. in the nursery and are bound to be pretty impressive. We ask that the a.m. group parents/carers  come in the main entrance as the infant classes will still be having their playtime. We have attached a copy of the words to the song for your interest (a copy was also put in your child’s pigeon hole previously).

We are learning some interesting information about Scotland just now and one of our children suggested we had a party. So we are having a ‘Scots Day’ on Tuesday the 26^th of January (because Monday is a very busy day in nursery). There will be lots of Scottish activities for the children to do e.g. making tartan in art and craft, listening/dancing to bagpipe music. Also we will have haggis (vegetarian), neeps and tatties for snack.  It would be great if your child could wear some tartan on the day too.

Just to keep you updated. We have bought a new paint stand for our craft area. This stand allows the children easier access to their pictures and enables us to wheel it out to a free space for you to collect the ‘works of art’ for your walls at home. The stand is very sturdy and should last for many years to come. However, it cost £182. The school is willing to meet half the costs but we are paying the remaining £91. So from the raffle funds raised of £236 we are left with £145 to spend. We are carefully considering our next purchase. Thank you again for your generosity.

 

Here are the ideas from our children for next week. outline of children’s learning ideas 18.1.16

We have  attached the learning overview for the week beginning 11.1.16 This gives you some insight in to what is happening this week in the nursery and allows you to discuss these activities with your child. Remember most of the ideas come from the children themselves in spontaneous discussion or from floorbook work.  Some ideas, however, are teacher led to ensure the balance of the curriculum is maintained.
