Dale would like to set the children who are starting Primary One a fun challenge. Can you put your jacket on? This is a fun activity in helping you prepare for starting school. 🐋🐌 @ladeside.bsky.social #LadesideP1-2026 @inchlairelcc.bsky.social @camelonelcc.bsky.social @glenburnelcc.bsky.social

Look what Miss McRorie and the children found in our outside sand pit. 'A Snail and a whale.' There were lots of discussions about snails, their habitats, and what they like to eat. The children gathered some food for the snails. 🐌🐳🐌🐋 @ladeside.bsky.social #LadesideP1-2026

Rosie and Jim have returned to the Nursery to help the children prepare for Primary One. They have left some school uniforms for the children to wear. This has proven to be a very popular activity. @ladeside.bsky.social #LadesideP1-2026

Our story theme for our transition programme to Primary One is ‘The Snail & the Whale’ by Julia Donaldson. We will be sharing lots of fun activities to help your child’s journey to P1. Here is the link for the story: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... @ladeside.bsky.social #LadesideP1-2026

Whilst outside the children were wanting to play basketball. They noticed they needed a basketball net. Together we created a basketball net and the children enjoyed playing basketball demonstrating good turn taking, hand and eye co-ordination and fun!

A lovely spring version of one of our favourite songs. This is from 'Music in the Early Years.'

The children have enjoyed helping to collect leaves, pull out weeds, and potting some plants. We are looking forward to starting some planting, and we hope to grow some fruits and vegetables. Watch this space!

For Spanish this week we were exploring numbers up to 10. The children enjoyed playing these super interactive games. Please find the links below… www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-... www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-... www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-... www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-...

For Spanish this week, we have been learning the names of family members. youtube.com/watch?v=Smm7...

We have been learning Scottish poems for Robert Burns Day. The children are invited to dress in Scotland colours or something tartan on Friday 23rd January. Remember this is completely optional. We plan on having a Scottish snack, playing Scottish music, read stories and create tartan pictures.

We have been working very hard in continuing to develop a section of our garden as an Early Years Garden for our ELC children and P1 children. KLSB kindly gave us a donation for our plants which we sourced from Woodside Plants. Watch this space to see what other exciting things we will be doing.

We shared this beautiful animation with the children today. It follows a young rabbit through the poppy fields. This is to commemorate Remembrance Day with a message of peace and hope. www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/wat...

We are continuing to improve our Early Years Garden. We have developed good working relationships with Neighbourhood Networks who came to help us paint our raised beds and benches. Woodside Plants have given us some advice on suitable plants for potting etc. We are also have a new shed.

The children are thoroughly enjoying participating in our Spanish lessons and we continue to have positive working relationships with @lhslanguages.bsky.social Please find attached the songs we are learning: m.youtube.com/watch?v=tK0v... m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz69... m.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pcx...
