World Book Day Activities 4th of March

To celebrate world book day we dressed up as a character from our favourite story.

Can you guess who we are?

North Ronaldsay children worked with groups of children from other classes to make  big story books.

We also took part in a bear hunt outside!

Indoors we made a sound story for "We're Going On A Bear Hunt" and collage pictures of the story. It was a very busy day and everyone had fun.

Chinese Music

Zach brought in some Chinese music for us to listen to. We watched video clips of Chinese ribbon dancing.We used crepe paper to make ribbons so we could try ribbon dancing too. We all enjoyed dancing in the hall and some of us enjoyed it so much we asked if we could dance again when we returned to the nursery.

Chinese New Year

Gung Hey Fat Choy ( Happy New Year!)

We began our celebration of Chinese New Year with stories telling us how Chinese children celebrate New Year. We decided we would like to try some Chinese food so we had noodles and sweet and sour sauce for snack. We ate our snack with chop sticks. It was really tricky at first!

We made Chinese dragons. We heard a story about a Chinese dragon who was made of wood but every year at New Year he came alive at night and flew around the country.Some of us followed instructions to make the dragon and some of us designed our own.We folded paper to make the bodies.

A Special Visitor

Angus' mum came to nursery and played the bagpipes for us. We thought they were very loud! We enjoyed dancing to the music.

"I made my dolly a kilt"

"I made a kilt for my teddy"

We used our tartans to make kilts.

We designed our own Tartans

                                                      

We used a variety of media to make our own tartans. Come and see the display on the nursery wall.

Scottish fun

We tried on kilts and danced to Scottish music.

Scottish theme

Celebrating Burns day was a fine excuse to learn about and experience all things Scottish.Perparing our Burns day snack. We had  haggis and clapshot. It was hard work chopping up the neep. We watched a video clip on the Smart board showing us how they address the haggis at a Burns Supper. 

We said the Selkirk Grace instead of addressing the haggis then Phyllis cut it open.Most of us tasted it.

Christmas Concert

I'm sure you'll all agree our concert was worth waiting for. The children all worked really hard and enjoyed performing for a real audience.

Thank you for your donations at the door. We have given money to the RNLI.
