A short week but as ever a busy and fun filled week in the nursery.

Here's a few pics of what has been happening this week.


Here are some of the ladybirds concentrating hard as they mark make, draw and write about where they would like to live when they grow up!
They had there 'thinking parts' on.
What a super job. Well Done!

Here we are at the achievement assembly on Monday morning.
We are little super stars at sitting and joining in with the rest of the school.
Every week some of our boys and girls are receiving their head teacher awards for their hard work in the nursery.
Well Done!


We couldn't see Valentines Day pass without some potion making in the water tray!
Lots of pink and red and glitter fun!


Here's a photo that we forgot to share with you from last week.
Super imaginations in the construction area as we build a dance floor.
We even got our own red carpet out for our little super stars!
There was some excellent boat building too.

Big Art fun in the art room!
Lots of big muscle movements as we use big brushes, mops and scrappers.
What fun!

We hope you enjoy your long weekend and look forward to seeing you all next week.

A huge thank you to the Fire Fighters who joined us yesterday with the Fire Engine.

We had a great time!

Mr Cursiter showed us how to open and shut the hose. 
We were having a wee shot to prepare us for playing with the water!

Here are some of our Fire Fighting Ladybirds!
Ready to go when the emergency call is received!


Now it's time to have some water fun with Fire Fighter Baz!
Look how high the water could go!

We had great fun spraying the windows, the roof, the walls and everything in our way!
Here are some of our Fire Fighting Butterflies.
We had great fun trying out the drivers seat.
Some of us loved the sound of the horn and the sirens. Some of us thought they were a little bit loud for our ears!
Here are some of the Bumblebees and Butterflies trying out the hose!
Look out everyone, there is a lot of water required to put out this fire!

Some very excited faces from the Butterflies as they have a go at using the hose!

Great excitement..Here comes the Fire Engine!
Let's hope there isn't a real fire!
Phew, no fire here just lots of fire fighting fun to be had.

How many Ladybirds can we fit in a Fire Engine?

Mr Cursiter tells us all about the hoses in the Fire Engine!
We all had our really good 'listening parts' on


What a super day we had!

We have also been busy following our interest in numbers this week.
Here are some of the Ladybirds very busy with the roll and write numbers.
Number Fun!
Shaving Foam fun!
The children have just loved exploring the shaving foam this week!
Today we visited the Primary 2 Assembly. 
It was all about the planets. Many of us were very interested to find out more about this.
When we went back to the nursery, lots of us were very busy in the art room too.
We were busy sticking stars, drawing constellations and making moons with tin foil.

What a busy week!

Sorry it's been a little while since we have posted some pictures!
It's been a very busy couple of weeks here in the nursery.

Here are some pictures to let you know some of the many things we have been getting up to!



Last Friday we had a special Chinese snack to celebrate Chinese New Year and the year of the Rooster!


 We opened up our own Chinese Take Away for the day.
We enjoyed our noodles, prawn crackers, soy sauce and sweet and sour sauce.
It was delicious and we all enjoyed it.


 Here are some of the children busy in the art room, adding paint to our enormous Chinese Fan.
Once the paint was dry, we looked carefully at the letters in the Chinese Alphabet.
Some of us very carefully, added some of these letters on too.
It looks fab!

 We were busy celebrating Burns Day too.
We all enjoyed some Scottish Dancing in the hall.
Mrs Smith is learning to play the Bagpipes.
She very kindly popped in to see us too.
She played on her Chanter and her bagpipes for us to hear.

Some of us had a wee try on the Chanter too.
Many of us had a wee play on Miss Begley's fiddle too.


We have been out and about the school with our binoculars and bird food too.

We all enjoyed our super walks around the school grounds.
We spotted seagulls, pigeons and blackbirds. 
One group were very excited as they even spotted a seal too!




Peep!
Watch out the nursery are out and about!
Can you see us?





 We have been out and about enjoying the lovely January days too.


Some of the children have been very keen to build more obstacle courses!
Balancing fun!

 As the children continued their interest in the doctor role play, we had a very special visitor.

Ben visited the Monday pm session last week too!
 A huge Thank You to Ben for popping in.
The children all had a fantastic visit.
 Here we have our own little ambulance drivers!


 Remember to keep looking back to find out what is happening in the nursery!
