Inspired by our visits out to the community and visitors to Nursery, the children have been taking their learning about various jobs into the art area. They have taken care over their work and, as a result, they have produced some super paintings.

Dylan’s family was delighted to see his photo with his certificate:
“Dylan was thrilled with his Star Award for working hard in group. We’re so proud of him, he’s come on so much this past year at nursery. Wee superstar!”
We are proud of all our award winners too. Well done Dylan – you deserved your certificate for some terrific work.
Last week’s certificate winners look suitably proud of their achievements – well done to all three of you. Keep up the good work.
The afternoon children showed great enthusiasm on their recent visit to the police station and enjoyed finding out all about a police officer’s job. Just like the morning children, they behaved beautifully and made us very proud of them all. Thank you again to all those parents who helped to make this visit possible.
Our recent visit to the police station was a fantastic learning experience. We were shown round the cells, which seemed to be the highlight for many, as well as the different areas of the police station used for interviews, CCTV and fingerprinting. Some of the children tried out the hard beds but most agreed that they would not like to sleep there although the lack of toys and television seemed to put them off more than the concrete beds.
The police van was very popular and most had a turn at sitting in the back of the van. The blue light and siren caused great excitement although we had to cover our ears the noise was so loud.
Thank you to all the parents who came with us on this visit – we appreciate your support. Thank you also to everyone at the police station for spending such a lot of time with us and making us feel so welcome. Here you can see the morning children very busy on their visit. Photos of the afternoon visit will follow soon.
Thank you to those parents who leave comments on the blog. We love to hear from you all. Kenny’s family liked the photos at the library on World Book Day:
“Looking very engrossed Kenny! “
Kacey’s family has been enjoying the Red Nose Day faces:
“Wow, what a lot of funny faces for Red Nose Day!”
We love those funny faces too. It’s great that so many children took part. Thanks to everyone for participating.
Dress in red and make your faces funny was the Hecklegirth challenge on Red Nose Day and the Nursery children took part with great enthusiasm. Thank you to Joe’s Mum for providing the frame which produced some super photos. Thank you also to everyone who gave a donation on the day – the Nursery children raised £49.32. We hope you enjoy these happy faces.

World Book Day was a great success with the children coming to Nursery in their pyjamas with their favourite book. As part of our celebration and our learning about the local community, we also paid a visit to Annan library. As you can see, everyone seemed to enjoy the super stories read by Tina and were keen to discuss which was their favourite.
Lots of children seemed to be familiar with the library and hopefully more may join after this visit. Thank you to all the parents who came along with us. We really appreciate your help.
Torrin’s Mum has been enjoying seeing him on the blog:
“I am so impressed to see Torrin interacting with different foods. This is definitely to be encouraged!”
“So proud of Torrin for his listening award, I hope he continues this useful skill at home! I love hearing his great ideas; children have the most amazing unrestrained imaginations.”
Thank you for leaving us a comment. It’s great to hear your thoughts.
Miss Dennis, our P7/6 teacher, has been having a look at our World Book Day photos and left us a message:
Glad to see world book day activities were enjoyed by nursery children and the primary six buddies. I hope you all enjoyed the stories! Primary 6 from P7/6 certainly enjoyed reading the stories to the nursery pupils and are looking forward to reading more stories with them!
We already know that Primary 6 children are shaping into great buddies and we discovered that they are very good storytellers too. Thank you Miss Dennis for leaving us a comment and thanks also to the super children from your class who did a great job. We look forward to seeing them again soon in Nursery.
