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.
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.
Here is Alex serving his granny at one of our Christmas Cafes. We asked all customers to make a small donation which we then donated to the North Kelvin Meadow Campaign. Thank you to everyone who came along to the cafes and made a donation.
Here is Sandy having fun getting his photograph taken for his snow globe.
All the children made snow globes to decorate the tables for the Christmas Cafes.
This is the picture that Ella painted today. We are getting the nursery ready for Santa’s visit and have been painting windows and making Christmas Cards.
Here is Alex enjoying dancing to some Scottish band music during our week of celebrations for St. Andrews Day.
This week in nursery we are having a Scottish ~Week to help us celebrate St. Andrews Day on Friday. So far we have searched the internet and found some good demonstrations of highland dancing which we then copied. We have also learned about the legend of the Loch Ness Monster (we liked that) and we have made orange finger shortbread (which was yummy). This is Marcello having fun exploring the flour!!
Here is Brody and Lily enjoying a wee splash in a puddle while visiting the Botanic Gardens.
Here are Leo and Lucia meeting the guinnea pig today. We also met a tortoise, a duck, a hen (called chicken nugget), a corn snake, a bearded dragon lizard, a rat, a mouse, a tarantula, a rabbit, a cockroach and a lizard.
We were all very well behaved and followed rules set out for us for our safety.
We also used gel to sanitize our hands after touching some of the animals as we have been learning about keeping our hands free from germs.
Today we practised road safety by playing in our cars and bikes and stopping at signs (held by Ella). We are learning more about how to keep ourselves and others safe by following rules indoors and outdoors. Yesterday we went on a “safety walk” and managed to use 3 pelican crossings and 3 zebra crossings!! We have also been looking out for things that may harm us in the environment. So far we have come across broken glass, barbed wire, spikey railings,dogs and dog poo, traffic and people we don’t know.
