Wow! It's February already! What a super start to this term we have had.

Last Monday Lindsay visited us again to make some more fat balls to feed the birds at this cold time of year.

Following the children's interest in the birds and bird food making last week, here are some of them very busy as they plan for the new 'woodland forest' area in the small world play.

Mixing and stirring fun as the fat ball mixture is made!

Wow! Look at the sticky fingers. Time to explore the sticky texture in between our fingers too.

Here's a sneak peep at our lovely new woodland forest that the children created last week.

Have a peep the next time you are in. 

We think you will agree, they had done a fantastic job!

Paint, Paint and more Painting Fun!

Here some of the children are creating a wonderful backdrop for their forest!

Some of the children have been very interested in 'camouflage' colours and wanted to paint a camouflage den too.

Here are some more fat balls being made.

What lucky birds we had in Stromness last week!

Here are some of the children exploring our new 'Tinkering' Station too.

What fun they had had finding out how things work and taking things apart!

They have been using real tools and learning how to use these carefully.

We had bird seed in our sensory tray last week.

As the week progressed, so did our interest.

We knew what it felt like on our fingers but we wanted to know what it felt like on our toes!

Some of use wanted to know what it felt like to be a bird!

And on Friday we had a very special visitor!

We had a little baby brother to visit us who was only 11 days old!

He was a super star as was his big sister!

He had lots of children and grown up's who were very keen to have a cuddle or two!

We can't wait for him to visit us again!

Remember to pop back again soon and see what is happening in the nursery.

We are a busy little lot in here!
