Dressing for the cold

Leave a reply

In light of this current cold snap I thought it would be worth sending you a little reminder about wearing layers and supplying spare clothes for children. This is particularly relevant for days when we are in the woods but also needed on non woods days as we still spend a significant amount of the day outside. If you have some cosy under layers in bags at all times we can support children to get them on before we go outside.
A couple of years ago we made this video of one of our children getting ready to go out to play as a reminder of the importance of wearing the right clothes.

Stay at home and listen to a story……

In line with the latest Scottish Government advice to Stay at Home we will be reinstating and adding to our set of parental resources for use until we are again able to return to a more normal nursery routine. Activities and challenges can be seen on our COVID Resources tab while our book shelf of stories read aloud by nursery staff and others can be found on the Books read Aloud tab. We will continue to keep you updated with resources and information as we come across them.

A tiny caterpillar on a leaf

A little song about caterpillars :
The next verses are
Then he’ll eat the leaves around him til he’s full (munch munch)
Then he’ll eat the leaves around him til he’s full (munch munch)
Then he’ll eat the leaves around him, eat the leaves around him,
Eat the leaves around him til he’s full (munch munch)

A cocoon is what he’s spinning for his home (spin, spin)
A cocoon is what he’s spinning for his home (spin, spin)
A cocoon is what he’s spinning, cocoon is what he’s spinning,
A cocoon is what he’s spinning for his home (spin, spin)

Then he’ll be a butterfly and fly away (flap, flap)
Then he’ll be a butterfly and fly away (flap, flap)
Then he’ll be a butterfly, be a butterfly,
Then he’ll be a butterfly and fly away (flap, flap)
