As the weather is getting warmer and flowers are beginning to grow children have shown interest in planting. 'Can we plant some flowers?   'I like planting'   'I can help to pull the weeds out'

Children have worked really hard weeding our flower beds, putting new soil in and planting some bulbs.  'Now we have to wait for flowers to grow.' 'I hope it doesn't take ages as I don't like waiting'

World Book Day . Let's celebrate World Book Day together.  All children are invited to decorate a potato as their favourite book character and please bring it to the nursery to show it off. Group B children are welcome to dress up as their favourite book character on Thursday 7th of March and group A children on friday 8th of March.  Children will have opportunities to explore their favourite books throughout the day in little book nooks  indoor and outdoors. We can't wait to see all the potatoes turning into little characters 🥰

Squirrels have been learning about differences between day and night.  We can describe different activities we can do throughout the day and what happens at night. 'we play through daytime and sleep at night time' 'my mum sometimes work at day and sometimes at night' We have looked at colours we see throughout the day and colours at night and we have created beautiful pictures using these colours

We have been learning about Robert Burns. We know he has been born in Ayr and he has wrote lots of songs and poems. We have been learning Scottish songs 'Ya canny show yur granny off the bus' and 'Three craws' 

We learnt the Gay Gordons dance and we have been busy making our own oatcakes, butter and shortbread  for little Burns Day Celebration. 

We are learning about winter season and hibernation. Children have been identifying the signs of winter and how to dress appropriately for the cold. 

'we found some ice in the garden ,it makes my hands cold' We have looked at different ways how can we melt the ice.    ' I know, we can put some salt on it'

Hope you all had a lovely break and we can't wait to see you all back. Welcome to our new starts we can't wait to meet.
