Welcome back to Nursery
What a lovely week in the Nursery. It was lovely to welcome the children back and some new staff faces. This week we said hello to Mrs Singhal and Mrs Hanna.
The children are very engaged and playing together beautifully. They have settled into their routines, especially in the dining room where they are served their hot lunch. The favourite this week was nuggets and noodles, although their ‘spooky’ Halloween lunch was very well received!
This week the children have enjoyed playing name games and memory games for circle time and had an interest in spiders and worms . A small group of children were excited to go shopping with Mrs Bingham and Miss Lawrence on Tuesday. They demonstrated a super sense of responsibility and leadership skills whilst out and about. On the way back they proudly carried their own nursery rucksacks.
On Wednesday, the children made spiders and spider webs with Mrs McNally.
On Thursday we carved pumpkins, took out their “guts” and enjoyed our very own pumpkin soup for afternoon snack with witchy shaped bread, after listening to the story Pumpkin Soup. We ended our week with a fabulous spooky party. We had a witches’ cavern with a very interesting cauldron! Halloween masks to cut out, colour and thread. Some ghoulish green smelly play dough and monster pictures and some fun Halloween games and a spooky snack! Another very busy and fun learning week.

Parent Consultations Thursday 1 and Friday 2 October 2020
This term we are unable to have our annual parent consultations as a face to face meeting in school due to COVID 19 restrictions , and Scottish Government / Council Guidance. As a result we have arranged for parent consultations to take place as a 10 minute video call, with the parent, teacher, and where appropriate the child. The following information and video link explains how to make an appointment, device compatibility and how to join the meeting.
If you have any issues or concerns with this please contact us by email at school.
Please note , if your child currently receives support for learning with Mrs McColl she will arrange to have a telephone conversation with you.

Building Resilience – Back to School Tips
We have loved being part of your journey back to school. Today we are posting the last of our ten tips. We hope you will still be able to benefit from them over the coming term. Developing resilience can help us cope with the ups and downs which may arise.
Back to School Tip #10: Have a Goal – A new journey starts with a step…
Your child: Talk to your child about what they would like to learn or get better at by the end of this term, such as a sports skill, a new hobby, being able to cook something, dress themselves, etc.
You: Think about something positive you can start to do or keep doing when your child returns to school, e.g. start a new class, exercise, meet a friend, complete a home improvement project.

Building Resilience – Back to School Tips
We are so excited to welcome back our remaining children today and we hope you have a great day!
We are sure the past few weeks have been a very busy and perhaps stressful time for families. We hope the Back to School tips are giving you some ideas to support wellbeing. We’d love to hear the things that help to boost your wellbeing.
Back to School Tip #9: Respect Yourself – Be proud of your child and yourself
Your child: Help your child make a list of the things they have learnt and enjoyed over the last few months. e.g. learned to hula hoop, baking, mountain biking. Share and celebrate these with family and friends.
You: Think about and share all the ways you and the family have adjusted to the challenges over the last few months. Acknowledge together the strengths you have shown. There may have been ups and downs but remind yourself of the things you managed to do, such as using video calls, cooking family meals, supporting your child with their learning or exploring your neighbourhood.
Together: You may wish to put together a scrap book or time capsule to help remember this extraordinary time. It could include photographs of the things you did at home, news articles, letters, interviews from different family members, etc.

Building Resilience – Back to School Tips
For those of you returning to school today, we can’t wait to see you and we hope you have a great day!
We are going to be posting some more Back to School tips each day for the rest of the week. We’d love to hear which tip has been your favourite.
Back to School Tip #8: Get Active – Keep going, or get started
It’s proven that physical activity boosts our sense of well-being.
Your Child: If your child started to be more active during lockdown, think about how this can be continued. If not, what small steps could you encourage? Be curious about what may interest them and plan how they could try something new.
You: A lot of us were more active, individually as well as together as a family – playing games, going for cycle rides and walks together. We will have noticed the benefit; plan how you can keep these activities going.
Together: As lockdown eases we can benefit from more exercise outdoors and reduce family screen time and online activity. Remember little rewards to yourself and family can help establish a good habit!
