This week we started our ‘People Who Help Us’ project and so far the children have been really keen to learn about all the different jobs people do to help us in the community.  On Monday we had Olivia’s mum come in and talk to us about her job as a nurse at the Edinburgh Sick Kids Hospital.  The children enjoyed being volunteer patients and nurses and asked some good questions. We would love to hear from any other parents who would be willing to come and talk to the children about their jobs.

The children decided that they would like their role play area to become a hairdressers so the staff have enjoyed many a ‘pampering session’ with some very creative budding hairdressers!  Our outdoor role play area has become a Pizza Restaurant with delivery service at the request of a few children who came up with the idea of delivering Pizzas on the bikes.  We made some pizzas at the creative table for our role play and even made some real pizzas for snack – delicious!

The creative area has been busy this week.  The children have been making doctor’s bags, x-ray pictures and have been designing many a junk model masterpiece.  We always welcome donations of junk modelling material.

More exciting news coming soon…
