We're back!

Thank you very much to the boys in the council who have been working very hard to return our laptop to us and get us back online!  We have compiled a quick overview of some of the activities that we have done this term. 

 

The hairdressers was very popular at the start of the term and saw many of us sporting very fancy hairdoos around the nursery.

 

We had a go at dooking for apples on Halloween and we were great at it.  We also had some lovely orange slime in our water tray which, although we did feel it, we were not keen to play in! 

Two ladies came into speak to us about the Pop tradition in Stromness for Guy Fawkes and we had a go at making our own ones. 

We dressed in spots to help raise money for Children in Need and some of us had face paints on too. 

 

 

We had one nice day with a bit of snow/ice and we went out to explore for a while and we were fascinated with the ice melting in our hands.

The nursery teachers went a visit to the new school and shared their photos with us.  We are really excited to be moving and have been helping to pack up all our resources. 

We decorated the nursery with our Christmas tree and Santa's workshop.

We also created loads of gifts to sell on our fund raising stall. We were very busy and made reindeer food, salt dough cups, hot chocolate cones, shortbread, wrapping paper, cards, gift tags and calendars. It was really successful and all the people who bought something helped us to raise over £300 to help us raise money for our outdoor suits. Thank you very much

 

 We had a fantastic Christmas Party with a bouncy castle and we played lots of games.   We also sang in the Christmas nativity and if any parents would like a copy of our video, please take a pen drive in and we can copy it for you.  We will try to upload it onto our blog as well for you to see.  

 

 

 Santa came in to visit us and brought us some new instruments.  We have been loving playing them

as we sing. 

 

We have had a busy term and are all looking forward to relaxing over Christmas now.  We hope that you all have a Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year.  We look forward to seeing you all back at the old school on Monday 7th January.
