Numicon on the go in P1/2
The children in P1/2 have been engaging with the wonderful Numicon resources we are lucky to have.
Through play, they have explored counting in ones, twos and tens and have created brilliant numberlines and towers using the frames and pegs.
What fun!
P1 and P1/2 Get the Bookbug
Primary 1 and Priamry ½ enjoyed exploring the wonderful books in their Primary 1 Bookbug and Primary 2 Read, Write Count bag. We explored each book, visited the library and discussed what we enjoyed in each one. The children then voted for their favourite title in the Bookbug Picture Book Prize. We recorded our votes on a pictograph. The Station Mouse was a clear winner!

P1/2 have been creating their own special Christmas tree. See how they did it here.
P1/2 Christmas Decorators
P1/2 have been busy preparing the classroom for Christmas. The children wanted to build their own Christmas tree and decided on old cardboard boxes as the best material. We painted the boxes green and stacked them up high. Then we added our decorations. Shiny bottle tops, Christmas wrapping paper cutouts and old tinsel all helped to make the tree look absolutely fantastic.
We are all feeling very festive now!
Nursery EAL Support Advice Meeting
SUPPORTING YOU EAL CHILD
(English as an Additional Language)
TUESDAY 3rd DECEMBER 2.00pm- 2.45pm
Mrs Samina Mustaq, our specialist EAL teacher, met with parents whose children have English as an additional language.
She provided advice and answered many questions about how parents u can support their child’s language development in more than one language. The main advice is keep your home language alive by using it! This will help develop connections in your child’s brain between English and their home language/s, build on your emotional relationship with them and enable them to speak to other members of the family and language community too!
Don’t forget to join the City of Edinburgh Library too, where you can order books and other resources in many different languages for both adults and children.
