Well it's been another busy week so far in the Nursery.

Here's a few pictures of some of the things we have been getting up to this week.

Lots of the boys and girls were excited to do some Splat painting!

It was really good, messy fun!

We have been very busy looking at our names and the letters in our names this week.

We have been looking at our initial letters and creating letter collages.

We have been busy writing our names in the glitter trays too!

Many of us had great fun trying to make some of the letters in our names using pipe cleaners too.

Our Preschoolers have been very busy visiting different areas around the school as they get ready for Primary one.

This week they visited the Library.

When they were there, many of the boys and girls had good fun hunting for their initial letters on the bookcases.

Keep looking back at our blog as we will be posting some more pictures soon!

Here's a wee update of some of the many things we have been up to this week!

This week we have been interested in finding out more about Space!

Here we are busy with the alien playdough. 

How many eyes does this alien have I wonder?!

We had special moon dust on the tough spot to investigate and explore.

We also had great fun exploring the moon sand and dinosaur bones using magnifying glasses and brushes.

Yesterday we were driving on our moon buggies and making moon tracks with the paint. 

It was great fun but the trikes and bikes were very messy!

Today we opened a Car Wash and we had great fun cleaning them with the hot, soapy water!

Lots of us have had great fun in the builders this week too!

In the water tray we have had great fun exploring the flowers and oasis.

Today we added dinosaurs into the oasis too.

We hope you are all having a super Easter holiday! 

We can't wait to see you all back next week and hear all about your holidays.

Here are a few pictures from the end of term that we were keen to share with you.

Here are some of the children exploring the play area on the boat.

Can you recognise any of these Vikings?

Our super trip to the Hamnavoe! 

Dress up fun!

Again, a huge thank you to all of the grown ups who joined us.

If you are heading off on holiday this Easter, watch out for some of our little Captains!

Great excitement as we were given a tour of the bridge.

This is the Captain of your ship calling...........

Time for some ship building too.

Even time for a look out the windows and enjoy the view.

And finally time for our snack on board the ship!

A huge 'Thank You' to all of the staff on board the Hamnavoe for a lovely trip.

Wow!

A huge 'Thank You' to everyone who joined us this morning.

We had a great time on our ramble up Brinkies Brae!

 What a super morning we had exploring and investigating as we went on our ramble.

We used our special 'Brinkies Brae' telescopes to look all around just like Timothy Poke did in the story 'Shark in the Dark'

 What amazing views!

 It was great for the children and adults to explore this lovely walk in their local environment.

 Wow! Look at some of the Brinkies Brae treasure we found on our way!

 The children were all little stars. Well Done. We are really proud of you all.

 Time for a snack and a drink to get energy for the next part of the walk!

 Exploring and enjoying the muddy puddles along the way.

And finally for those who still had some energy left a little trip to the park before home and a rest!

 Here's some pictures to let you see some of the many things we have been up to this week already!

Here are some more of the children busy planting their magic beans!

Some of them have already started to sprout!

I wonder what might be at the top of these beanstalks?!

Messy fun in the art room!

Lots of fun hand painting.

 Lots of fun for sports relief this week!

Yesterday we visited the Mugga.

We all really enjoyed exploring this space.

We had great fun playing with the balls and hula hoops.

 We have had great fun outdoors with the sports equipment too.

 We have been busy discussing and drawing different sports in our small group times this week too.

We have made a big book all about 'Sport Relief' for you to have a look at.

 Fun in the mud!

We had great fun racing down the hill and sliding on the muddy grass!

 Time for some for sports fun in the hall this week too.

What a busy week of activity and keeping fit and healthy.

Here are some more pictures from our fun last week that we thought you might like to see.

More fun with Patsy and Sally on World Book Day last Thursday.

Can you spot who some of these people are?

Some more of our boys and girls dressed up last week as their favourite book characters.

Don't they all look fab!

We were all enjoying our traditional tales so much last week that we continued to read more this week.

Here we are enjoying a small group activity about the Princess and the Pea.

Look at all of those blankets!

Here we are testing them out with our bottoms!

I wonder who could feel the pea?

We have been enjoying our new role play area this week.

We were busy changing our toy hospital into the house where the three bears lived.

Goldilocks visited lots this week too.

We enjoyed playing with the big, medium and small bowls and spoons, chairs and beds.

We have been listening to the story of the Gingerbread man this week too.

Here are some of the children busy making gingerbread men!

They smelt delicious!

We enjoyed making them so much that we make some gingerbread playdough too.

Time to plant our Magic Beans!

Fingers crossed we might have some beanstalks by Monday!

Some of the children were very busy in the art room this week too.

They made a super Giant, Beanstalk and Jack.
