North Berwick Nursery School

Please ensure the children come to nursery prepared for the snowny, wet and frosty weather. Waterproof trousers and wellies or boots are essential for them to able to go out and fully enjoy the learning opportuntiies.

All the children took their presents home for their loved ones today. We hope you like the crocus bulbs and star photo frames with photos.

We are holding a Potato growing competition at the nursery.  The boys and girls have already planted their potatoes and they are looking after them.  We have some other groups from the community taking part too.  If you would like to join in at home then please see Miss Hunter for details. 

Judging will take place after the summer holidays and the group who has the heaviest collection of potatoes will be annouced the winner.

Last week we were very lucky to have the police come to nursery and talk to us about keeping safe.  PC Laura and PC Colin came to each class and told us about their jobs and how to stay safe when we are out.   In the afternoon they came back with their police car and we got to hear the loud sirens!  Here are some photos from their visit.

….AND our favourite book is ‘Apple Pie ABC’ by Alison Murray.

We participated in the Scottish Booktrust Book Awards voting last week. After reading the three short listed books (‘Apple Pie ABC’ by Alison Strathie, ‘The Loon On the Moon’ by Chae Strathie and Emily Golden & ‘Dear Vampa’ by Ross Collins) we voted for our favourite book within our classes.

On Tuesday we all gathered together to count up the total votes to see which was the overall favourite. ‘Apple Pie ABC’ won with 38 votes, compared with 24 for ‘The Loon On The Moon’ and 22 for ‘Dear Vampa’.

We all enjoyed reading and talking about the books. Why not watch the videos of the authors reading their stories and answering some questions about their books, click here

Bobath is a charity which we have recently learned about and were keen to help out!
We decided to do a cake baking/decorating fundrasing event to help the charity. We set up a shop to sell our cakes. We raised £76.51 for Bobath.

This week Josephine, the dental nurse, came to tell us about how we can take care of our teeth. We helped croc brush his teeth properly too.

We wore something red and brought in some money for Red Nose Day. Some of us had a special snack!
Each room has counted their donations. The grand total was £99.16.

Zoo Lab visitied us yesterday. We enjoyed learning about the senses of a land crab, snake, cockroaches, tree frog, tarantula and rat. Most of us were very brave and we held some of the creatures or touched them.
