Generation Science In the Nursery

Nursery had generation science out at the beginning of this week to explore the science behind sound through storytelling, use of props, demonstrations, discussions and instruments. The children were really engaged throughout the whole session, particularly when they had the chance to create and use their own instruments.
By the end of the session many children could name instruments and could tell the difference between high and low pitch using their own voices.

INTERNATIONAL WEEK IN THE NURSERY – ONE CLAN, MANY FAMILIES

We enjoyed celebrating International Week in the nursery.  To start the week on Monday everyone was invited to wear clothes from their culture and Natalia even wore red and white clothes to represent the flag of Poland!

Keyan, Finn, Xionuan, and Tyler’s mum’s shared stories and songs from India, Australia and China with us and Mr Wong, our Hanen Mandarin teacher, led our ‘group time’ with all the children.

Families also sent us their photographs, which were added to our world map in the hallway, to reflect the diverse and inclusive nature of our nursery and school.

Nursery Christmas Party 2019

Christmas Party Dalry Nursery style!!!
We had lots of fun, dancing, playing games, a piano recital from Jan’s daddy  AND we all got a present from Santa too! Then we all went back to the nursery and had lovely food and a raffle with lots of fabulous prizes – thank you to Mrs Brown for organising this. We hope you all enjoyed the event and we wish you all Happy Christmas and New Year- love from all the staff at the nursery.

Nursery Tree Trip

THE NURSERY GET OUR CHRISTMAS TREE
We went to Gorgie Road Real Christmas Trees to get a tree for the nursery.  The children looked a  measuring stick to decide what height the tree should be and then walked around the trees to find the one they wanted. They watched the tree being wrapped and put in our trolley before we all headed back to nursery.
Darren and his team very generously gave us the trip for FREE thank you to them, and our own Mrs Brown, for arranging this very generous donation!!

Nursery Library Trip

TRIPS TO FOUNTAINBRIDGE LIBRARY 
The Purple and the Blue Groups enjoyed a trip to Fountainbridge Library on Tuesday 26th November for stories, songs and snack. There we met with the RVS and some older people they bring to the library every fortnight.  We all made bookmarks and exchanged them with each other.  Thank you to the parents who came with us and made this a very enjoyable experience.
