We have had a busy week!! On Monday we came into nursery and we were greeted with 2 new arrivals. We had 2 chicks hatched from our eggs in the incubator. 🐣 As the week has progressed we have had more and more and managed to get 9 chicks from a batch of 12 eggs.  😯

Today the boys and girls got to hold a chick for the 1st time.  We wanted to leave them for a few days to let them get a little stronger before they were handled by little hands. 

Today was very exciting and very child was brave enough to hold or pet a chick. We can’t wait to watch them grow and to care for them over the next couple of weeks. 🐥

Today we celebrated two little children for their successes with outside of school activities.  Annie was a winner at a Jubilee Bonnet competition with Sollus which was held at Bready Primary School during the weekend. Well done Annie and what a magnificent bonnet!!

 

Also, during the same event Alex got presented with his Pirate Dance Award.  He brought in his trophy and certificate and we even got to have a little sample of his highland dancing.  Keep up the super work Alex.

This week we had our final week of Families Connect.  We are very pleased with the turn out and would like to thank each parent for their participation in the 8 week programme.  We really hope you enjoyed it and have gained some strategies to use with your child. 

We had lots of discussions each week and as parents ourselves, (Mrs Harper and Mrs Preston) we were able to contribute and relate very much the rewarding job of parenting.  We learned lots from each other and we hope that you continue to play the games and use the strategies that we discussed. 

Thank you for your support and commitment each week.

This term our 2 topics are based around the farm and in the garden.  We have had lots of exciting things happening over the last few weeks.

 We have watched our sunflowers grow taller and taller each day. 🌻🌻 Some of them are growing slower than others but we are having patience.  

We have watched 10 caterpillars grow, make cocoons and we have been able to watch as 9 of them have turned into butterflies. We even managed to watch 2 butterflies emerge from their cocoons. It was amazing to watch this transformation! 🐛➡️🦋 We will release them from the net into the world very soon. 

We also have 12 hen eggs sitting in an incubator and we are hoping in 3 weeks time we will have some baby chicks. 🤞🏻

We have had fantastic learning opportunities with all of the new life and we are very excited to watch our eggs very carefully over the next few weeks. 

Enjoy looking at our photos and keep coming back to see if we have any new friends arrive. 🐥🐥
