Room for play
The main focus at the Buggeland Nursery School in Sandnes is running a healthy nursery school with an emphasis on nature, environment and physical activity. Light and friendly rooms made of wood and glass connect the indoor environment with the outdoor environment and make the nursery school into a fun and pleasant place to be.
The large, light and open rooms in the new nursery school are the ideal setting for exploration and learning. The five-year-olds in the Maksi Club are making reflecting safety badges.
In the neighbouring room Ingrid’s dress has gotten caught in her earring. Thoughtful girlfriends run to get help. A robotic flying machine is being built on the Lego table. With this contraption, Marcus will be able to fly all the way back home to his house.
Thomas is rubbing his eyes, and tears are running down his cheeks. Isabell goes over to comfort him and asks if he would like to come play with her and some others. But he cannot because the kids at Buggeland Nursery School are preparing vegetable pizza today, and Thomas is responsible for slicing up the onions. His eyes hurt, just like when he last dove into the local swimming pool. But it helps to put a cold, wet cloth across his eyes and forehead. The pizza tastes delicious. The children also love porridge – but not the kind of porridge that Goldilocks ate; they prefer oatmeal porridge.
At lunch Tomas tells the story about when he was going to travel to Bethlehem. But the bus never came, so he went into the kitchen, lit a candle and had some tomato soup instead. And did you hear about when Celina was in search of a boyfriend? She kissed a frog she found on the nursery school grounds, but the frog didn’t turn into a prince. The reason, Celina explains, is that she is not a princess.
