Good Morning! We are at the start of a new week, but today is a special Monday, today is the day we remember a very famous Scottish poet called Robert Burns.
Born in Scotland more than 200 years ago, Robert burns is no longer with us but many people still enjoy his poems.
Sometimes in nursery on this day you can choose to wear something tartan but you can do this at home if you like. We might have had a special snack or lunch in nursery having haggis, neeps and tatties which is traditional Scottish food, but not this year because most of us have to stay safe at home. If you have this for your dinner this week why don’t you share a picture with us? Remember to let us know what you thought about it to!
‘Bookbugs Scotland’ and ‘Visit Scotland’ have put together a pack of activities you and your grown up could have a look at and more information about Robert Burns. There are art activities and opportunities for your grown up to read you one of the poems.

The weather is still very cold!! It was finally cold enough for our ice block sculpture to go completely hard and frozen in my garden! My children were so excited and we posted a photo on the twitter page with the amazing ice sculptures the boys and girls going into nursery made! Today would be the perfect day to make one as the temperature is going to be below 0 which means its very very cold and the water will freeze.
