On Wednesday we went on a Welly Waddle!
By taking part in this Welly Waddle we all helped to raise money for the Scottish Cot Death Trust.
 
It was great fun!
 

 
Here we all are getting ready to go! Time for the Welly Waddle to begin!
 
 
It was the perfect day for a Welly Waddle.
Well it was raining and there were certainly plenty of puddles to be found!
 
It wasn't long before we found our first little puddle to splash in!
 


 
We walked along the shore path.
Lots of us were interested to see the boats and lots of us were interested to see the many slugs too.
We even saw a speed boat and Mrs McIntosh found a hairy caterpillar.
 

 
Soon we found an even bigger puddle!
Like the story 'Going on a Bear Hunt' we couldn't go over it, we couldn't go under it so oh no, we had to go through it!
 
 Soon it was time for a photograph or two!
It was time to smile and shout 'Welly Waddle'

 

 
Soon we found the biggest puddle we had ever seen!
 
We couldn't resist a bit more puddle jumping!


 
Lots of this puddle came back to the nursery with us!
 
 
Then it was time to go back to the nursey for our snack and our Welly Boot Song!
 
A huge thank you to everyone who came with us and for all your support and sponsor money that we have received so far.

We have now started to plant in the soil in the nursery beds.
 
We have planted eight strawberry plants.
We are hoping that they grow lots of strawberries and we can have them at our snack time!
 
 
We have planted some tattie seed too!
This week we have been really busy preparing our raised beds in the garden area outside.
 
 We had to dig the soil. It was hard work!
 Lots of us were busy looking for weeds. We had to try and take out the weeds and their roots.
 Lots of us were keen to find worms while we were digging!
 
We found so many worms that we have made a Wormery to have in the nursery!
Lots of us were keen to hold the worms and are excited to watch what they do inside our new wormery!
Last week in Nursery we had a visitor.
Patsy from 'Book Bug' came to visit us. It was great fun!
 
We all enjoyed listening to the story called 'Shark in the Park'.
It was a super story and we had to look through our telescopes.
 
We had good fun with the Lycra, singing 'What shall we do with the bouncing Book Bug' and lots of other fun songs too.
