Mini First Aid

Our children have been very interested in learning about how to keep safe and healthy like their Wellbeing Buddies Safe Stella and Healthy Henry. Children have been asking about the roles of doctors, nurses, paramedics and first aiders too as we’ve had a lot of “accidents” in nursery requiring emergency treatment!! We were delighted therefore to welcome Lynsay Allan with Mini First Aid Fife & Forth Valley and Teddy to nursery yesterday. Teddy is very accident prone and Lynsay showed the children what to do if they have an accident too. Our children learned how to clean a small cut and put a plaster on it, how to put a cool pack on for 10 minutes if they have a bump on their heads, how to help a very poorly person lie on their side and how to call 999 to get help for them.
Lynsay thought all of our children were Superstars!

Smoothies, Beetroot Soup and Soda Bread

We’ve been continuing to harvest some fruit and vegetables from our garden and hedgerows. Today we made a smoothie for snack and, instead of our usual sourdough bread, made soda bread. We pulled some beetroot and spring onions from the garden and made them into soup. All of our children came back for seconds!

We were back in the woods today!

It was lovely to be back in the woods today! We have a new play site and enjoyed exploring it and seeing what different things we could find there. We had several new children with us today and it is amazing to see how much more confident and independent they became after just a few hours in the woods. We are looking forward to seeing how our sessions develop as we become more familiar with the new site.

We each chose a special tree in our site and gave it a name. The names we chose were Nursery, Bramble, Firework, Violet, Tractor, Baby Teddy, Florence and Lanky Larry. We will be keeping an eye on our trees as we move further into autumn and then winter so see how they change.
