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.
