A tour of the nursery

We realise that not everyone has had a chance to have a look around the nursery at all the areas that your child may be playing in.  We wanted to add a quick blog to share with you the different areas so that you can chat with your child about where they are playing at nursery after their sessions.  These areas are all developed and changed alongside the children's interest however, the types of areas remain the same. 

House Corner 

 

 Arts and Crafts

 

 Writing area 

 

Music Corner

 

 Construction Area

 

 Small World

 

 Light and Shadow resources

 

 

Water Play

 

 

 

 Sand and Sensory Area

 

  Science/Investigation area (check here for our pet snails and stick insects!) 

 

 Quiet/Resting Area

Our Garden

 

We are very lucky being part of Glaitness School as we have many other areas of the school which we can explore too:

 The Court Yard

 

 The big playground

 

 Sensory Room

 

And usually everyones favourite - Ball Pool!

 

We will be having a coffee morning soon where we will invite everyone in for a play with their child however in the meantime, please feel free to explore the nursery with your child during the 10 minute pick up at the end of the session to discover what your child's interests have been during their session. 

We have some new pets ...

Here are our new Stick Insects! 

The children have really enjoyed taking them out and watching what they do! We had to be very careful with them as they are living creatures, but we did let them crawl all over ourselves.
 
We are enjoying learning how to look after them and have been collecting some fresh leaves the help keep them happy and healthy.

We are working on making a floor book all about our interest in bugs! The first couple of pages are on the wall in the nursery if you want to come in and have a look! We were cutting, gluing and sticking our photos yesterday, as well as drawing our own bugs and looking at information books. We will put it all together once we have found out everything that we want to know.

If you have any suggestions for what we could call the stick insects please comment below . . .

Week 2 - More exploring

Well what a busy week we have had!

Here are a few photos of us as we make friends, explore the new things to do and places to play at nursery!

We love the snails and there are loads to be found in the nursery garden!

The Cygnets are having fun inside and outside

What good imaginations we all have!

Snack outside on a bonny afternoon

We had the tooth brushing ladies in with the puppets to remind us how to brush our teeth really well.


 





Who needs toys??!!

Look at what fun we had running about in the big hall today with just a selection of cardboard boxes!!  We were climbing in, hiding, pushing and pulling each other around, seeing how many people we could squeeze in one box and playing peek a boo!  See if you can spot our Jack in a Box!!

Welcome back everyone!!

A big welcome back to all of our peedie familiar faces and hello to all of our new families who are joining us this week.  We hope that you have all had a great Summer.  We have had a wonderful first day back with all of our big boys and girls helping to look after all of our new friends.  We had a lot of fun exploring all of the exciting resources around the nursery but most of all we loved trying out our brand new waterproofs in the giant muddy puddles outside today.  A big thank you to Michael Foubister for arranging sponsorship from Northwards to purchase new waterproof trousers for the children.  Check out some of the fun we were having!

We even managed to find some snails and race them up the tree!!
