Stormy Orkney Weather

The weather has been pretty awful at times this week. This did not stop some of our determined peedie nursery children! A few of them braved the conditions and had lots of fun playing in the massive puddles that have formed in the playground and Nursery Garden. On Thursday we were even lucky enough to spot a rainbow in the sky too!

Babies - Health Visitor 11.12.14

A few of us have new babies in our families and over the past few weeks we have been playing and having lots of fun in our baby clinic in the nursery. There are lots of bonnie baby photos on our clinic notice board - Have a look next time you are in and see if you can guess who is who?!

The Health Visitor came to nursery on Thursday to talk to us about looking after babies.

She took in baby "George" with her and told us all about how to look after him. We helped Gudula bath and change baby's nappy.

Some of us had a turn at holding him we had to be careful to remember to support his head.

We asked lots of questions and Gudula answered them all. We now know lots and lots about looking after peedie babies.

Christmas Dinner - Wednesday 10th December

Our full day bairns had Christmas Dinner in nursery this week. They had turkey with all the trimmings and a trifle for pudding.

Christmas Bunting

Some of the children have been busy decorating baubles, angels and trees which we are using to decorate the parent waiting area.

Well Done to all who have brought them back to hang up - What a super job you are doing! 

Here are a few photos of some of the children with their decorations. 

 

Children in Need 2014 - Superheros

We had fun raising money for Children in Need today,  Thank you to all the parents who supported the fundraising events in the school. 

Here are a few photos of our nursery and pre-school superheros! 

Fireworks Fun

We have had a busy week in Nursery learning lots about Fireworks:

We got creative at the art table 

We sung and played instruments and went to the hall to play some parachute games with firework rhymes.

We made fireworks in a bottle and talked about what we could see. 

Lexi - Oh it's beautiful, if we take them off they'll blast into the air. 

Harrison - Look at all the sparkles I can see. 

James - Wow 

Evan - Zoom

Ruby: Sparkles

Mia - Mines gold

Lilith - Its green and sparkly

Ethan - It's blue and red 

We took them home to show everyone our colourful, sparkly fireworks. 

Some of the children had fireworks fun with their families over the weekend. Here are some photos they are happy to share.

Make A Difference Week

We would like to say a Big Thank You to the parents that came in to help us out during MAD Week and to the children for all their hard work.

Lewis' mum helped us to make dancing/wind rings for playing with outside. Scott's mum showed some of us how to plant bulbs we had to mind on to put them in the right way so the roots were going down into the ground.

We made windy ribbon rings and sticks and our own sun
catchers using old c.d's and beads.

We got busy weeding, digging and edging the grass. 

We are enjoying doing lots of different things in the nursery garden.
