Painting

BABIES WINTER 043
Here is our wee Maud doing some sponge painting in the room for children under 2.
Painting is a popular experience for this age group as they enjoy exploring the texture and colours (also taste sometimes!).

Bubbles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MUSIC 2013 050
This was Jack’s idea. He found a straw and was blowing paint with it. Melanie challenged the children by asking what they thought would happen if she added some washing up liquid. Hey!!! we made bubbles.

Maggie Plays the Violin

Maggie Plays the Violin

During our last learning plan the children got the opportunity to explore some “real” musical instruments like the one that Maggie is playing so expertly! We want to say a big THANK YOU to all the parents who came in to spend time in the nursery helping to enrich the children’s experience by playing their instruments etc., – Christina, Jim  (and Jim’s band mate), Iain, Rachel, Graham and not forgetting Annie our former pupil. If we have forgotten anyone – sorry!

Monster Music

Today some of us went to see the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. They call it Monster Music because it is so big and so loud.

This is what we did (photo) when we got back. We made our own “monster music” by playing all the percussion instruments!
We have also made our own instruments with yoghurt pots and dried pulses, and we are learning to count out the rythm of our names.

CHRISTMAS 2012 135

Yesterday we had our Festive Music Show which was organized by Louise and Melanie. The children sang some Christmas songs and carols and enjoyed dressing up and using props they had made in nursery. Here is Jack, Dathan and Alex dressed up as the 3 wise men of the nativity. We have so many other pictures that we will try and create a gallery on a page in Children’s Corner.

Reindeers Bottoms

CHRISTMAS 2012 067

We met the reindeer last Friday. Most of our pictures were of reindeer’s bottoms as they kept turing their backs on us!! This picture taken with Lucia and Dathan is the only one that shows the whole reindeer head and antlers! We had lots of fun meeting the reindeers and supporting the event in the Children’s Wood.  Thank you to Emily for letting us be part of it all.
