As we start to enjoy our holidays, the weather seems to have forgotten that it’s supposed to be summer. Here are a few photos from last week when the sun was shining and some of the children made a sweetie shop outdoors using their snack drinks and fruit. Let’s hope that you’ll all be enjoying some outdoor play at home soon if the weather improves.
Mrs. Alexander got a nice surprise on the last day of term when some of the Nursery children took her a little bunch of flowers to say thank you for everything she had done. We think that you made Mrs. Alexander very happy at the end of her busy year.
Thank you to Sophie’s Mum for her lovely comments both on Family Learning and our graduation:
“We have really enjoyed all the sessions with Eileen, its so nice to be involved with School life.”
“The Graduation was fantastic. All the children sang so confidently and were very brave getting up onto the stage. Such a lovely ceremony. We were very proud parents!!”
We all felt very proud of the children too. They are little stars.
Mollie’s Mum enjoyed our graduation and has commented on our photos:
“So proud of Mollie, she has fitted in so well at Nursery! Well done to all the children and good luck to the ones moving to P1!”
They did all do so well at graduation and we join Mollie’s Mum in wishing everyone best wishes for Primary 1 if they are leaving Nursery.
How proud we all were of the children at our graduation ceremony today as they sang and danced to celebrate their achievements this year in Nursery. They showed great confidence to perform to their families and then to walk on stage on their own to shake hands and receive their certificates. Thank you to Mrs. Alexander for taking time to present each child with their award – we think her knees must have been very sore by the end of the day. Thank you also to all the family and friends who attended our little ceremony and for your support throughout the year.

Last week the children enjoyed snack in the dinner hall. We all liked the sound of the lunches that Mrs. Martin was preparing although some expected to then get the roast chicken or wraps that were for lunch that day and were a little disappointed to make do with a drink, biscuits and fruit. It won’t be long until some of you are enjoying the delicious lunches every day boys and girls.
Earlier this year some children and their families worked together in a Family Learning project to plant vegetables at home and in the raised beds in the Nursery garden. Today they returned to the beds to harvest some of their crop. As you can see, they had great fun making faces with their vegetables as well as tasting them. (It really seemed a bit warm to make soup as planned). It’s interesting how some children won’t normally eat vegetables but they enjoyed tasting those that they had grown. Thank you to Eileen, as always, for providing her super Family Learning activities.
Last week a small group of children had an important job to do as we had lots of letters to post. They were very important letters as they were telling the new boys and girls which group they would be in next year and were inviting them to come to Nursery for a visit. There were a lot of stamps to be stuck and letters to be posted but you must have done a good job as nearly all the new children came to visit us today. Thank you to all the families who brought the children for their visit today. We really enjoyed meeting you all and look forward to seeing you again in August.
Sophie’s Mum enjoyed the photo of the Sunshine children who made an invitation for Mrs. Alexander:
“Sophie told me all about the invitation and how they went with Mrs Grey to deliver it. She said they decorated it with flowers. The girls all look so grown up and ready for school now. I’m really going to miss all these photos on the blog, it’s such a lovely way to see what Sophie gets up to at Nursery!”
They do look grown-up and ready for school, don’t they? It’s lovely to see how much they have grown in confidence in their time in Nursery. We are very proud of all the children as many prepare for the next step to Primary 1.
Ava’s Mum commented on the children visiting Primary 1 and how happy they are:
“Ava really enjoyed visiting Primary 1 and is looking forward to going again on Thursday. Great to see them so happy and relaxed in their new classroom.”
It has been lovely to see how confident the children have become in their new classroom. We hope that they enjoy themselves this afternoon when they all get time together as part of their “Move Up” visit. We are also looking forward to our new Nursery children visiting us this afternoon. We have enjoyed their visits with playgroup and hope that they are looking forward to showing their families our Nursery.
