Clarence House Nursery

Some of our staff attended a bushcraft training session with the children’s wood. We can now make fires safely and rig up tarps 🙂

Each day we have the opportunity to learn, create and explore. A little snippet of today brings….. A walk to the river, the babies and rainbows collected sticks and our star group did a colour survey and counted out the colours of each car they saw along the way. In the afternoon some of us had a little rest and we know there is always a place for us when we are tired. In the afternoon we made cloud dough and explored the new textures “this is a marshmallow cake from coconuts in the coconut tree”. We made traffic light biscuits and enjoyed mixing up the colours in the icing, we also decided to paint traffic lights on our windows too! We played with the knex using the instructions to help us build more complex creations, a little painting and of course lots of stories throughout the day 🙂

The UN is working on children’s environmental rights and climate change to create global guidance on how children’s rights are affected by the environmental crisis, and what governments must do to uphold these rights.

It’s crucial that children of all ages are included and supported to express their views on environmental rights.

Young children have plenty to share about how they feel about the natural environment, & we want to make sure the UN knows it

#childrenandyoungpeoplescommisionerscotland wanted to know how we felt about the outdoors. Here are some of our responses

The Nativity 2022

We offer our children opportunities to make choices when being creative. Every card was different. Every card was unique. Every card was beautiful.

A big task requires big tools and we had lots of fun using real paintbrushes to finish our stable. We also made up our own song whilst we painted. Singing children are happy children!
