Nursery Reading Rainbows

Our pre-school children went to Fountainbridge Library for our Reading Rainbows event.

The children got a bag of books and other items.

One of the books ‘One Mole Digging a Hole’ will be used for our transition activities in the nursery and when we begin Primary 1. We followed a number trail up to the library, listened to the story, did a creative number activity and had snack.

Thank you to everyone who helped us make this such a special day!

Nursery Butterfly Assembly for the School

We have been learning about the lifecycles of butterflies. As part of our preparation for moving on to Primary 1 we presented an assembly to the whole school about what we learned. Photographs of our work were shown on the Big Screen, we retold the story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ using props and sang ‘There’s a Tiny Caterpillar on a Leaf’ and everyone joined in. When we finished everyone gave us a very big clap.

Well done nursery!

The Senses

What a busy term it has been. The boys and girls in Primary 1 have been learning about their senses and enjoyed making musical instruments when finding out about sound. 
We also carried out some testing to find out about sweet, sour, salty and bitter tastes. Can you tell what taste they are trying here?
