Lots of fun in Primary 2/1 this week. One of our learners wanted to make a puppet show so we created Halloween characters and settings and shared our stories to the class. We also enjoyed some sensory play in the slime! 🎃

*NURSERY* We were so excited to receive special mail today. We took guesses as to who it could be from. One of our wee ones exclaimed ‘I think it’s from @kinnairdwaters.bsky.social’ Thank you so much for the special gift, we can’t wait to display your homemade paper in our playroom. 😀🌳 #partnerships

*NURSERY* Today for afternoon snack we enjoyed plain crackers, mackerel and fresh fruit. A few of our wee ones were keen to try the new fish. ‘I love this, I have it at my home’ 🐟 🍎 #MarvellousMeals

*NURSERY* Following on from our interest in baking/cooking some provocations outdoors led to children transferring their experience of cooking & baking into imaginative play. ‘This is our ingredients’ ‘I’m making chicken pie’ ‘Vegetables’ ‘Mixing it’ ‘Cook it to make it warm’ #Childled #Responsive

*NURSERY* Inspired by our Tiny Crab is a Tidy Crab story some of us have been extending our knowledge of recycling by participating in a game to find the correct bin for the rubbish items! Lots of excitement and engagement from our wee ones. Well done. 🦀 🗑️

We had a visit from some of the Fire Fighters from Linlithgow station. They gave us great tips for being safe and taught us the Stop, Drop and Roll! Mrs Leckie was our champion at getting all kitted up quickly! Thank you to the team for coming to see us! ⭐️

*NURSERY* On Forest Friday last week our wee ones were on the hunt for a chestnut tree to see if we could find more conkers. We also put up our fantastic posters encouraging people to put their litter in the bin just like ‘Tiny Crab’ from our Stupendous Story. #MyWorldOutdoors #KEEPWHITECROSSTIDY

*NURSERY* Our interest in cooking continues so after harvesting our homegrown carrots we decided to use them to have alongside our lunch. We peeled & chopped carrots & potatoes then flavoured them with garlic before cooking. They were the perfect accompaniment for our soup. 😋 #MarvellousMeals

Primary 2/1 did a fantastic job of applying their knowledge of materials to make a boat! Special mention to one of our learners who made a boat at home and shared with the class. It gave us lots of good ideas!
