We are learning about planting. We have planted flowers and plants in our garden. We have been reading Jack and the Beanstalk story, we have made our very own beanstalk and we recreated the story.
We have been practissing our gross motor skills and making huge bubbles. How many bubbles can we catch?
Foxes and Squirrels have been learning all about letters and numbers. We have explored variety of materials to mark make and we have worked together to share our ideas. We can now tell the difference between letters and numbers and we are learning that when we put letters together they make words.
During science week children explored the school grounds where we were looking for nature treasures such as stones, sticks, leaves etc. Once we collected those treasures we took them back to nursery where we explored them further. We looked at sizes, material, texture and then we made shakers to see what treasures make what noise. Of course we did stop for an extra fun at the climbing frame too .
Foxes and Squirrels are enjoying learning about magnets and are fantastic at recognising letters of their names.
' I know all my letters in my name'
'My name starts with E'
Children are showing great fine motor skills through variety of activities, building amazing structures, writing their names and helping to prepare snack.
Friday 6th of February is nursery day for group A children
Foxes and Squirrels enjoyed learning about Rabbie Burns and helped to prepare Burns supper. ' It was yummy'
We have also been making binoculars and looking for birds in the garden. We are learning to collect data in different ways.
We are very clever being able to recognise our pegs and able to hang our jackets on all on our own, we can now self register when we arrive to nursery and tell how we are feeling.
Welcome back and warm welcome to new families.
What a lovely first week back we had. Children have re settled well into new nursery set up and are building new friendships .
We are learning about weather and ice. ' Where does ice come from?' We are also looking at winter colours and what food keeps as warm in winter.

Apologies there are not a lot of photos for the past fortnight as the systems were down for a working week.
Group A had a visit from the Fire Brigade ( no photos 😔) The children listened to the fire fighter telling them all about their safety clothing that protects them in a fire and the equipment they use to fight fires along with braving the rain to go outside and see the engine.
Group B put their knowledge of what to do in a fire drill into practice on Wednesday 19th, they showed amazing skills in remaining calm as they lined up and left the nursery garden to line up in the big school playground, it was quite chilly so we learnt if we danced, jumped up and down it helped to warm us up.
There has been lots of amazing marking making being inspired by the frosty weather and lots of amazing numeral and letter shape recognition.
Week ending 7th Nov
This week we have been mark making using different media's to explore Fireworks night and Remembrance Day. The children used paints and cardboard tubes to print with, chalks on black paper to highlight the colours and using the smartboard and developing our technological knowledge.
We have experienced a turn in the weather and the children have been enjoying finding other ways of being active indoors participating in yoga.
There has been lots of great numeracy skills on display through the children's play .
Week ending 31.10.25
As we approach a spooky ending to our week, there was lots of ghoulish fun to seek.
The children though lots of experimental play; making potions which not only was fun but helped to extend their understanding of measurement. This was mirrored with the children as they helped to prepare pumpkin oat cakes and in their own play baking at the play dough table.
The children joined in a spooky dress up day in nursery, where they went along to the gym hall and played some party games.
As the nights become darker earlier the children have been very observant on this and exclaimed " it's Halloween outside".

The children arrived back to nursery after the In-Service day to discover the Squirrels Room had an update by rearranging the areas, the staff had been observing which areas were used more than others and readjusted to ensure all were inviting .
Week ending 17.10.25
As we travel through the season and observe the weather turning cooler and sometimes wetter we are exploring this change through what we might need to wear from waterproofs and wellies to hats and gloves, practicing being independent in being able to decide what to wear and putting it on.
We have been investigating size and quantity through many avenues ,placing objects from largest to smallest, comparing pumpkin sizes and filling containers with water. Helping to expand and consolidate our understanding and language around it for example small, medium , large. Empty, half full, full, smaller, bigger.
Through interactions we are developing our knowledge of the sound of a letter for example "a" for apple, some children are using this understanding to visually identifying letter shapes as well.
Its been a busy week despite the main school being on October Break.
Week ending 10.10.25
What a wonderful week of growth and discovery! The children have been busy developing key skills through a variety of engaging activities.
They've had amazing experiences building their communication skills by reading books to each other, describing what they see, and even creating their own imaginative stories. During many castle-building projects, the children used great verbal communication and teamwork to solve problems together.
We saw their numeracy skills shine as they decided exactly how tall and wide the structure needed to be, and their maths development continued outside as they practiced counting and estimation while figuring out the exact number of stones needed for a garden activity.
There was lots of active fun both inside and outdoors! Building and navigating obstacle courses was a fantastic way to develop their gross motor skills, challenge their the vestibular system, and, most importantly, have a great time!
We especially enjoyed inviting all our families into the nursery over the past two weeks for our Stay & Play events. It was lovely to see how proud the children were to show their loved ones around and share their learning journey with you.

We have had a lovely couple of days celebrating World Book Day at nursery. The children dressed up as their favourite character, enjoyed activities in the nursery rooms to deepen their love for books. In the Hedgehog room the children where experimenting in designing and building different homes to see which ones were safe and strong just like in The Three Little Pigs. In the Foxes Room they were creating their own StickMan and in the Squirrels Room the children took turns in reading books to each other creating a story through reading the illustrations.
We have also been continuing our talks about how to keep ourselves safe by understanding that our bodies belong to ourselves and we all have a right to personal space when we need it.
One of the ways we use to teach the children this is through the underpants rule, you can find out more here Lets talk PANTS.

Happy New Year to all our Families for 2025

We have welcomed new families starting this week which has been very exciting along with mixed feelings being unsure. We have been talking about our feelings and how we can share these feelings with others to help us feel better, the children who already attend shared how they can help the new children settle in "we can share toys" "we can be kind" " read them stories".
The Hedgehog Room is now opened, the yellow group will use this room for registration and storing their jackets. The Hedgehog Room has been set up as a STEM room where the children can explore building, science, numeracy and technology.
Helpful Reminders
Nut Free Zone... We are a nut free zone, this is due to children in the nursery in the school and nursery that have a severe life threatening nut allergy. We ask that there are NO nut or may contain nut products in your child's bag or pack lunch pack. If there is a food item in their pack lunch bag that we cannot confirm if it does or doesn't contain nuts we will leave it in their bag to be enjoyed at home.
Extra Clothing... As expected in a nursery children can go through many changes of clothes in a day, we ask if you can provide at least two changes of clothes particularly pants and socks. If your child does go home in nursery clothing can you please return as we have completely ran out of trousers, pants and socks.
Thank you
Nursery Team
