Chinese New Year
23rd January 2025
We have been extremely busy planning our celebrations for The Year of The Snake. This year Chinese New Year lands on 29/1/25. Over the last two years, we even opened our very own Chinese take aways – KINGS-WOK-AWAY. It was a great success. Our chefs cooked up a storm and fed the entire nursery. Look out for lots of exciting activities for this year’s celebrations. If you would like to come in to speak to us about how you celebrate different family or cultural traditions, please let us know. We would LOVE to invite you in. Chef Lisa will be cooking with all children, at all settings.

We would also like to say a massive thank you to all of our parents, children and families for your generosity over Xmas. We received lots of lovely presents which were shared with all staff. Everyone went home with presents to enjoy. KingsWellies staff also received a lovely gift from a number of parents who all chipped together. The staff have decided that they will use this very generous gift to have a lovely lunchtime treat. This was extremely generous of you and MUCH appreciated!

Wellies £10 Snack Shopper – Would you like to do our snack shopping for us?
20th September 2024
Number, Money and Measure: “I am developing my awareness of how money is used and can recognise and use a range of coins” MNU 0-079 Our children are learning all of the time. Our main focus for learning is through developing our Literacy, Numeracy and Health and Wellbeing skills. As part of the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence, we also develop skills, knowledge and understanding in: 1. Expressive Arts 2. Social Studies 3. Technologies Sciences 4. Religious and Moral Education We would like our Wellies children to develop a good understanding of money. The best way to do this is through using REAL money. If you would like to be one of our “Snack Shoppers” over the weekend, please email our Admin team. They will then give you our snack “Shopping List” and the £5 budget. It would be a huge help to us if you and your child could buy some of the items for our snack over the weekend. This will also be a hugely beneficial experience for your child. Why not make this their weekend responsibility? This will provide a vast range of learning opportunities right across the curriculum. Please just take back the shopping, change and receipt at the beginning of the week. Please also fill out our Snack Shopper Diary so that we can share your shopping experiences with our other children! Feel free to add any photos and also your feedback. Alternatively, do this at home with own children whereby they buy your own household shopping. This is a great (and easy) way to teach them about money and the concept of budgeting.
