Today we had a very special visitor to nursery. We had a beautiful chicken to come to see us, she came from The Egg Box and brought lots of eggs with her. We learned that The Egg box has over 90,000 chickens and they each lay about 320 eggs a year – that’s lots of eggs. The chicken didn’t have a name so we decided to call her Layla. 

  
The eggs are sold locally in their very special vending machine which is worth a visit as you will get to see the chickens outside enjoying a run about, ask a member of staff for directions if you would like to visit it. The eggs are also sold in M&S and used by the Happy Hen Egg Company. 

Tracy told us that the chickens get to wander freely outside through the day and they like to look for worms and play football!! 

  
Once we all stroked Layla she went back to her bed and we got to look at the eggs. 

We learned that when the chickens are very young the eggs they lay are tiny and they lay bigger eggs as they get older. The tiny eggs don’t even have a yolk but the very big eggs have double yolks!! 

  
Once Layla went home we had eggs for snack! Some had scrambled eggs and some had boiled. 

   
A big thank you to Tracy Young who took time to visit us with Layla.

 What an effort from our runners today. Our first race of the season and we are off to an excellent start! Well done to everyone, a very muddy and slippery track today in Dingwall but these superb smiles say it all! (See results below)

Thank you to our mums and dads who helped transport children today and cheer them all on.

Thank you to the Nursery for our gift today xxx

I’m sure we can all agree that the children made a super job of sharing their learning this afternoon. It was so lovely to have an audience to appreciate our artwork, poetry recitals, friends for Nessie and monster descriptions! The staff were particularly impressed at the effort made by the children with the Scotland homework. It’s been a long time since we’ve set creative tasks such as this for homework and going by the past 3 weeks efforts- we think it should happen more often. A HUGE well done to everyone. Just a couple of pictures from this afternoon as Miss Spicer was too busy enjoying the assembly! 

Also a huge thank you to all of you who made the effort to come out on such a horrible day. The children always enjoy sharing their learning with others and this wouldn’t be possible without your continued support. Have a lovely weekend everyone 😊

                 
Please note there is a small change to tomorrow’s lunch menu. In celebration of Robert Burns Night earlier in the week, Marie will be serving Haggis Neeps and Tatties instead of sausage roll. 

This means the 2 options for tomorrow will be: 

1. Fish & Chips or
2. Haggis, Neeps and Tatties. 

Looking forward to seeing you all at our Scotland Sharing Assembly tomorrow. 2.00pm in the school hall 😊

A huge well done to everyone who completed our ‘Family Tartan’ homework task. We shared these together as a school today and the teachers were so impressed by the effort put in by the boys and girls. Well done everyone! Get your thinking caps on for Nessies friend next week 👍🏻
