It’s almost the end of another year and the children in Nursery have had a busy time. There have been lots of celebrations which generated some very interesting chats and art work with the children. Some of our younger children chose to dress up on the 31st October. We had two witches,one with a less traditional mode of transport! We have also been learning about our different senses and had a tasting session which included lemon and grapefruit - the children were very adventurous and tried everything they were offered (as did Mrs Campbell and Mrs Ross) The children also baked Pudsy biscuits which they sold to raise money for Children in Need. Thanks to those who supported them in this good cause.
Some of our children enjoyed the Bedtime Story event during our book festival week and we were lucky enough to have lots of volunteers to read to the children in nursery, so lots of thanks to the committee for organising this.

In the lead up to St Andrew’s Day the children have been listening to Scots stories and the afternoon children have been learning to sing “Wee Willie Winkie” which they performed at the school Scottish Assembly on the 28th November. We will begin learning our Christmas songs, which the children will sing to parents and carers at our Christmas party on the 18th December. You will also get to see the super displays which the children made to decorate the hall. Hope to see you there!
