📚WORLD BOOK DAY
We cosied up in our jammies, brought in our favourite stories from home and picked our favourites at nursery! We shared the stories with each other, told our friends why we liked them and what our books were about.
Even our puppets Ross, Julian and Wallace were spotted chilling out with a book.
and we all loved showing off our favourite books.
STEM week at Holm elc & primary schoolÂ
Mrs Mackay and some 'professers' from p7 came to show us some science experiments...... first one was Vitamin C rockets...!!! You put an effervescent vitamin tablet and a small amount of water in a canister, a wee shake and place it upside down..... and the carbon dioxide bubbles build up, making it explode open with a big 'POP'- we got to have a go too!

Then it was time for 'chemical reaction' Volcanoes! ...........
The professors added bicarbonate of soda, washing up liquid, food colouring and vinegar to the bottle..... causing a reaction of lava erupting!!

The scientists showed us what to do.
Mrs McKay helped. We even knew she was adding vinegar - we could smell it! Â
Then we did some experimenting of our own!
Moving on to digital learning.....Â
Aria, Preston and Jamie came to show us how to use the 'sphere' robots which are controlled via the chrome books! The nursery children were amazed by these and described there being an 'invisible line' connecting the two. We also had lots of fun operating the code-a-pillars and the bee-bots, making them manoeuvre around obstacles.
We have been practising our movement skills both outdoors and indoors, exploring how to manage and control our bodies.....and as you can see we are pretty good at it!
look at how well we can balance on the really narrow piece of wood, and how kind we are as we help each other.
also our amazing jumping skills.........look at these action shots!
and climbing.........scaling the side of the hill.
in the gym hall we used the beam to practice more balancing.
indoor yoga gave us lots of opportunities to move and balance in different ways.
   To develop our number skills, we have been gathering and organising different objects around the nursery, from beads to potatoes and our jungle animals to name a few. Although today at Circle Time we organised our socks into different categories.
Socks on!!
Socks off.......hold your noses!!!!
to categorise our socks we had to say what colour they were and make circle for them to go in......."my sock is brown", so we had to draw a brown cirlce
 superhero circle for the spiderman sock
look at all the different socks we have so far.
another circle for a football sock.
we don't need another circle for this spiderman sock as we already have one for superheros.
that's quite a move smelling your own foot!!!!
another circle for a blue sock, and someone also described their sock as "camouflage"
and so the sock sorting went on and the number of circles on the floor grew
until we counted 15 circles and realised that we had made a great sock display!
Stem week continued with a visit from the fire and rescue services.
They told us all about how the engines work, what appliances they have and we even got a turn of using the hose!!
