WHOLESOME CONTENT ALERT! The nursery have been coming out with their P6 buddies every week to play and start getting a feel for PE in big school. Not sure who has more fun really...

This week we have been busy planting herbs in the garden. We “dug a hole, put the plant in” then “covered it up” Plants need “the sun“ and “water” to grow so we made sure to give them some water when we were finished. Huge thanks to @InchNursery for their donation of plants!

Environmental print surrounds us in everyday life. When adults notice & talk about it, children become aware that print carries a message & that reading & writing has a purpose. This often increases children's interest in writing messages, labels & signs themselves #EarlyLiteracy

It's been great preparing for P1 with #EdinBear! Our time has come to end, but before we part ways with bear, let's try one more thing - the Edinburgh Fringe!

Let's see a show, play, or even a magic show before starting school. Plus more activities https://t.co/6MsV1JrLzW

#EdinBear wants you to think about how you feel starting P1. Like in "The Smeds and The Smoos" story, starting something new can be exciting and scary, which is normal!

⭐ talk about how you feel starting school soon.

A stick is never just a stick!

Heuristic play is exploratory play & this early experimentation helps children to learn about the physical world around them. Children don't just play with toys, they play as part of their everyday life!

School readiness isn’t about counting & phonics but rather everyday skills & early concepts which can be practiced at home in fun, everyday opportunities. Parents are their child’s first teacher, let’s support them being the best that they can ❤️

Sharing books and stories with babies has so many benefits, and it's a great opportunity to snuggle up together too. It is never too early, or too late, to start enjoying books with children.

💥Maths is so much more than numbers!

Maths is a part of everyday life – it’s just a matter of recognising it! Babies and young children learn about numbers and other mathematical concepts through experiencing them as part of everyday activities and routines.
