Staff Training
Staff training is always a priority at the nursery as we continue to develop our skills. Every month the staff team attend after hours meetings where we discuss ideas, evaluate our service and devise action plans for futher development. We also take part in in house training. Last month on 29/03/2012, Mary Morrison and Julie Baxter (VTSS) gave us an introductory talk on PECS. PECS stands for Picture Exchange Communication System and is a method by which some children, with additional needs, communicate with others around them. We discussed the benefits this brings to everyone and we watched a DVD of the system in action.
This will be of great benefit to the staff as at the moment we are using PECS with one child who attends the nursery. As she becomes more familiar with using this system staff will now be able to communicate with her more effectively, thus meeting her needs on a greater level.
Staff also discussed ideas each room had to promote physical development in our children and ways in which we can bring numeracy and literacy outdoors.
Please remember to take a look at our Talking and Thinking Floorbooks which are placed along the corridors and add comments, thoughts and ideas. Parents' participation and involvement is very important and helps us to evaluate and develop the work we do.

A Thought for Monday Morning!
Smiling is infectious
You catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.
So if you feel a smile begin
Don't leave it undetected,
Lets start an epidemia quick
And get the world infected.

ECO News
Next Eco Meeting - Tuesday 7th February at 5-6pm
Pond - We now have a pond situated in our Eco-garden which was designed and built by Angus Egan 'Earth Calling'! Angus works for Edinburgh Council and helps Nurseries, Primary & Secondary Schools develop their Eco-gardens in and around their premises. Angus will be visiting us again in March to put in some pond shrubs & plants which will encourage the natural growth of Pond-Life!! This is very exciting as the children will learn about the life cycle of the frog and be able to see other insects using a magnifying glass, microscope and binoculars.
Recycling - The children throughout the nursery are aware of the importance of recycling and the children's Eco-committee are enjoying collecting the recycling every Tuesday to then be picked up be Edinburgh Council on a Wednesday morning. The children will weigh the bags and record & monitor the amount of waste recycled each week.
Thank you to everyone who helped with the Christmas Shoe Box Appeal, donating old shoes and clothes for the Rag Bag Appeal.
