We were lucky enough this week to have a visit from Bookbug. He brought along the local Librarian to hold a Bookbug session with the children and to deliver the Explorer bags to all our 3 year old's. The children enjoyed stories, songs, hi 5's and cuddles. @scottishbktrust

As we approached the final few days of term for our DM1 children, we were focusing on creating our own patterns with different materials, sharing our thoughts and feelings linked to changes as well as exploring sounds, letters and familiar words such as our names.

During Easter Break the DM3 children had a visit from our local Police Officers following an interest in people who help us. They learnt the different roles the officers play within the community as well as learning about the uniform they have to wear and apparatus they use.

We have enjoyed following the life cycle of a Butterfly. The children had the opportunity to release these at our local community garden this week following them emerging from their chrysalis. All ten of our caterpillars successfully hatched.

The children have been exploring risky play opportunities both outdoors and at the local park, where they have been learning to manage and assess risk when jumping, climbing and playing at height.

We have had the pleasure of welcoming Mrs Ramsay into the setting to provide the children with Kodaly sessions. These sessions focus on helping us develop musical skills and musical literacy through games, songs and activities. The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part. 🎵🎵

Our children had a great time this morning when they went for a walk to the loch and park. These experiences allow the children to explore their local environment and build an understanding of how to stay safe when out and about.
