Making links with World Book Day last week we have been out and about in the community this week!

On Monday we had a really super visit to the Stromness Library.

A huge 'Thank You' to the Ladies who work in the Library.

There were all fantastic! 

Taking the time to show us the computer, how to stamp and date the books and much more..

A huge 'Thank You' to Sally who joined us from Book Bug too.

As always the children had a super time with Sally.

Here are some of the children using the scanner and date stamper.

Mini Librarians in the making.

Time to explore the lovely library space and watch the world go by!

Thank you to the many grown ups who joined us on our visit too.

The Nursery Team all truly appreciate your help and support.

Time to explore some wonderful literature in many forms.

The children enjoyed looking at the newspapers and books.

Time to enjoy the comfy seats and relax as we enjoy the literacy all around!

Time for some more date stamping. 

Numeracy too!

Time for some Book Bug Fun!

One of our favourite things.

Lycra Fun!

Back in the nursery, the children have had great fun playing in their own 'role play' library too!

It has been very popular throughout the week so is remaining for another week or two

Time for some colouring too as we enjoy the pictures of book characters.

Back in the nursery we have been having some science experiment fun!

One of our children was interested to see the pigments of colour running down from his label when the ink got wet!

Following on from this interest, we had some fun doing the skittles experiment!

We were fascinated to watch the rainbow colours we could make.

We enjoyed mixing all the colours together and were interested to find out why it made brown!

We are planning some colour mixing fun over the next couple of weeks in response to their interest.

Mud, Mud, Glorious mud.....

Making soup in the mud outside this week.

What fun!

Using our imaginations and creativity as we play with the scrap store and loose parts.

As Spring is hopefully on it's way....

Many of the children are showing an interest in plants and flowers.

We set up a Flower Shop in the Play Dough Area this week.

It has been very popular!

Here are some of the children with their flower arrangements

Some of the children are busy painting flowers bouquets to display in their flowershop.

They look really super!
