During the month of September we have had a busy month learning lots of new things. Our little minds have been thinking a lot about all the new routines but we managing very well and settling into our new surroundings. We have made lots of new friends also.
A number of children have been working on progressing their phonics and reading skills through Headsprout, an online reading programme. Gerry, the headsprout leader has commented on the fantastic progress made by all of the children. The children were congratulated in assembly and presented with a certificate and a prize. Well done everyone!
In our school the children have many opportunities to play a range of musical instruments. Darren came to school to distribute certificates to children who have achieved awards in playing the chanter. Well done to all of the children for their hard work and dedication.
On Pancake Tuesday we decided to make our very own pancakes. Centra at Ballymaggory were very kind to donate pancakes to our whole school and we have eaten these already, however we decided to show the children how to make their own. We had lots of helpers to measure and pour the ingredients and of course lots of little tasters and flippers. I think you can see that they went down a treat!!!!!
With the last spell of wintery weather, we decided in nursery it was time to make some vegetable soup. The children helped to chop up the vegetables using scissors and knives. They learned lots of new vocabulary about the different vegetables that they were chopping. The children really enjoyed taking part in this and the next day we all had some for our snack. Every child tasted it and some children liked it more than others.
On Thursday of this week, Jack's Mummy Selena, brought in lots of different animals for us to learn about. She told us about what kind of animals they were, what they like to eat, and the brave children even got to touch or hold the animal. We are very thankful for Selena taking the time to bring all these animals in for us as it is a great learning experience for our children. Have a look through and see what animal would be your favourite.
Last week our class put on a fantastic performance of the Christmas nativity story. The children did us proud as staff but I am very sure that our parents were as proud watching their little one on the stage. Each child put in so much effort and were all bright shining stars. Well done Nursery :)
