Welcome to our website
Below are some of the important dates for those starting Primary 1 with us in August. Like all nurseries in Edinburgh City Council we will also be offering those children who currently attend our nursery classes opportunities to explore the story ‘The Bookworm’ by Debbie Gliori, we will post these activities here for all our new children to enjoy too! 😀
Welcome back to Fantastic Friday where we showcase the amazing work and play done in the nursery each week! This week we have started to explore people who help us; we have been talking about who we contact in emergencies, who can take care of us and keep us safe and how we contact them. We took a trip up to see the Police station and talked about what the police do and all the different types of police vehicles we could see. Some of the children were inspired to draw excellent pictures of police cars and fire engines and had lots of fun playing with the small world police station.
We have been very interested in how to keep our teeth clean and have been enjoying role-playing in our own dental surgery. We explored the best methods of brushing our teeth and what equipment dentists use and wear to be hygienic. We also enjoyed role-playing as hairdressers and explored what steps are involved and what tools are used in a hair cut.
We helped to make some delicious fairy cakes for snack and have been enjoying building our fine motor skills with a fruit and vegetable threading activity. We have been making lots of colourful patterns with hamma beads and doing some beautiful bright paintings in the art area.
Thank you to the families who helped us celebrate Eid last week, we enjoyed the delicious food, fun dancing and experiencing the celebrations with the school and families! Eid Mubarak to all who celebrated!
We hope you enjoy your weekend and please post some pictures of what you get up to at home on the Learning Journals. We love to see all the fun you have out of nursery!
Welcome back to Fantastic Friday where we showcase the amazing work and olay done in the nursery each week! This week we welcomed everyone back from the Easter holidays and welcomed some new children who transitioned from the classroom upstairs to the pre-school classroom.
This week we enjoyed building tall towers and “ our houses” which involved lots of stretching! We made our own picnic areas indoor and outdoor which led to some brilliant imaginary games. We created some colourful puppets and lollipops with our craft materials and painted some lovely pictures!
We also talked about the importance of brushing our teeth and demonstrated our excellent teeth brushing skills. We have been very focussed on animals at the moment and did a great job matching animals with their babies, talking about the different names and playing animal snap.
We have also been talking about the queen’s jubilee and some of our Pre Schoolers even went to visit the Holyrood Palace and have a look around. We were given pointers to look out for when the queen is there; the fountain being on, the red yellow and blue flag and the guards marching up and down.
We also enjoyed an early Eid celebration in the school with lots of dancing and yummy food. Thank you to all the families who made delicious food for us and who participated in the festivities! Eid Mubarak to all who celebrate!
The parent consultations will begin on the week beginning 9th May please speak to your child’s key worker for further details.
We hope you have a lovely weekend and please feel free share any pictures of family activities and weekend activities on the Learning journals.
Welcome back to Fantastic Friday, where we showcase the amazing work and play done in the nursery each week. This week we have been continuing to talk about spring and the different celebrations that are coming up. We learned all about Ramadan by making our own beautiful hand designs and sparkly moon pictures and doing some amazing dancing. We also learned about Easter by making and decorating our very own Easter eggs with paper maché.
We also visited the duck pond at Holyrood Palace and saw lots of different birds and discussed their physical features and their life cycles. We made our very own picnic area and we all sat in a big circle and shared some “delicious cake”. In the music area we we have been very keen to join in with Yoga and Zumba and have been showing off our impressive dance moves!
We hope you all enjoy the two week break, Ramadan Mubarak and Happy Easter to those celebrating! Please post pictures of the fun you have at home on the Learning Journals, we look forward to seeing you again on the 25th!
