Here are a few more pictures from Friday.

Many of us dressed in spots for Children in Need.

We had lots of 'spotty' activities on offer throughout the day.

Many of the children kindly donated pennies and popped them onto our Penny Pudsey.

Some of the children were very eager to take the pennies to the office to be counted as soon as possible!

 Many of the children decided they would like their face painted.

I wonder if you can spot any of these little Pudsey Bears?

Or maybe you can spot a little Blush?

 Spotty bun decorating was available for this special occasion too!

Pop back again soon to see what excitement has been happening this week!

What a busy little bunch of people we have had in the nursery over the last couple of weeks again.

There has been lots of super learning opportunities happening and we wanted to share some of these with you.

On Friday the 10th of November, the morning children attended the P7 Remembrance Day Assembly. 

In the nursery some of the children were very busy cutting and sticking to make their own wonderful poppies.

On Monday we had a very special visitor.

Pudsey came to visit Stromness Primary for our weekly Achievement Assembly.

Here are some of the children busy getting ready for Children in Need Day.

We made our own Penny Pudsey's for the children to pop their pennies on during Children in Need Day.

We have been busy investigating and exploring Magnetic and Non-Magnetic items in our sensory tray.

Many of the children have been very interested in building and construction so our sensory tray has been full of wood shavings and saw dust!

Following the children's interest in building and construction, we brought in the work bench and real tools.

Many of the children have just loved the wood, real hammers, nails and screws.

What lovely problem solving opportunities and learning has been happening here.

Some of the children have designed and made a shelf and even a crane!

Team Work!

A very different type of construction at the Finger Gym!

We have been developing our fine motor control as we popped the cheerios onto the skewers and spaghetti!

Health and Safety checks at the ready!

Linking excellently with our interest in building we had a visit from Robertson Construction.

In the Construction area there has been lots of interest in building castles.

Knights costumes and Princess dresses were added to follow this interest.

We have been listening and enjoying the story of Jack in the Beanstalk.

We threw some of our own beans all over the nursery and waited to see what would happen!

When we came in the next day, we couldn't believe our eyes.

A beanstalk had arrived!

There was also a note from the Giant and some Giant footprints!

The Giant asked us to measure and find things that were longer and shorter than his footprint!

Many of us went on a mission around the nursery to see what we could find!

We also made some Paper Mache Golden Eggs for underneath the beanstalk.

Many of us loved the feeling on our fingers!

We have been interested in the body too.

Some of us enjoyed exploring the mannequins in the art room.

Remember to look back soon and see some of the things we were up to on Children in Need Day.

What a lot of fun we've had this term already!

A busy couple of weeks investigating and exploring our interest in the spooky resources and Bonfire Fun!

Look at all of these potions being mixed and invented!

Sugar and spice and all things nice......

Measuring, pouring and filling fun in the water tray.

Dress up Fun!

Can you recognise anyone here?

Recording our information at the Spooky Potion Shop.

Many of the children were adding in the ingredients and recording their results on the clipboards.

Dookan for apples fun!

Pumpkin fun!

Exploring and investigating the pumpkins!

Lots of fun making Fruit Firework Kebabs!

Lots of the children enjoyed eating lots and lots of fruit!

Many of them also discussed pattern making as they popped the different fruits on the kebab stick.

We had lots of skeleton fun too!

What great fun the children had making the adults look like skeletons!

The adults were all dressed in black.

Using Masking Tape, the children added where they thought their bones were!

Wow!

Look at all of those bones!

 Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Dancing Bones

The children had great fun watching and listening to the Skeleton Song on the Smart Board.

Lots of the children had super fun dancing and wiggling their skeleton bones too.

Here are some of the children busy making their 'Pops'

They enjoyed creating and designing these using a variety of materials.

Firework Fun in the art room.

The children had great fun creating these glue and glitter pictures.

We think you will agree that they look fantastic!

More Pumpkin Fun!

We had great fun developing our fine motor skills as we used hammers to hit in the nails and screws.

Some of us enjoyed wrapping the elastic bands around the nails too. This was quite tricky for little fingers.

Remember to pop back soon again and see what we are busy learning.
