*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

Learners have continued their interest in the story ‘Leaf Man’ by drawing their own leaf men using the illustrations from the book to give them ideas. The learners have been noticing the different colours and shapes of the leaves throughout the story and have been discussing this between each other.

In the main playroom (door side) the learners continued to further develop their directional language by using beebots. We have researched maps and town planning, creating their own interpretations

Thank-you so much to all the boys and girls at @whitecrossps.bsky.social for our amazing Paper Chase gifts. The aeroplane note was “cool” and the nature decoration was “smart.” Look out next week for something sailing back to yourselves!

In snack we are continuing to settle our new learners in and helping them establish snack routines. Learners are making their own choices around what they choose to eat, promoting independence. We’ve had some amazing helpers to chop our vegetables to make healthy soup.

Kinnaird Waters children are gliding & plunging, circling & swooping their paper planes round the trees of Kinnaird. A final twirl and it’s nosedived to the boys and girls in @whitecrossps.bsky.social

How exciting 🤩 listening to and watching an author read her new book. I wonder if a copy of the new book will arrive tomorrow 🤔

Kinnaird Waters Early Learning Childcare Centre @kinnairdwaters.bsky.social · Sep 15

Today some of the children listened to the live stream of Julia Donaldson reading her wonderful new book, Paper Chase. This promoted discussion around how paper is made and all the ways we use paper everyday!
