Nursery New Outdoor Equipment on PhotoPeach
Our nursery have been developing the outdoor area helped by funding from a lottery grant and a generous donation from the parent council. The existing area was extended. This gave us a larger playing area and grass. We then purchased some exciting new equipment. The parents and the children were involved in this process. We are looking forward to the living willow tunnel grow in the spring which will start a whole new adventure!

We went to the ‘forest’ to look for signs of Autumn. We were excellent ‘Autumn Detectives’ finding leaves, pine cones and branches. Also toy squirrels were hidden in the trees and we had to find them.
“There’s a shark in the park!!” on PhotoPeach
“Timothy Pope, Timothy Pope is looking through his telescope. He looks at the sky. He looks at the ground. He looks left and right. He looks all around.” The nursery children this week have been enjoying the story ‘Shark In the Park’ by Nick Sharratt. Is there a shark in the park? The nursery children went outside to the school playground with their telescopes for a look!!
On Friday morning, our 3 year olds had a visit from the local search and rescue team.

Our afternoon group of 13 Nursery pupils enjoyed a visit to the local library in Ormiston.
They listened to a Pirate story and sang songs. After the session everyone got a pirate goody bag.
This is part of an initiative in Scottish libraries to get more children reading from an early age.
