Eggs-ellent Eggs!

What a lot of fantastic eggs appeared from our Nursery children for the decorated boiled egg competition! It was great to see that so many children and their families had worked together at home on this fun Easter activity and the Nursery/Primary 1 tables were full of lots of creative ideas. Well done to the Primary 1 winner and to Cormac from Nursery who was the runner-up in our category but a huge thanks and well done to everyone who took the time to enter the competition. We thought that your eggs were amazing!

Easter Art

With the Easter holiday fast approaching, some of the children have been experimenting to make their own Easter art in the art and craft area. Here is a selection from the Sunshine Room. We love that the children have all had their own ideas to add to their display.

Easter Crafts

Easter craft activities were very popular last week with children and their families as Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, organised some fun with coloured paper, glue and pipe cleaners. It was great to see lots of children and their families take part. Thanks, as always, to Eileen – we are sure that everyone enjoyed your super activities.

Decorated Eggs Competition

eggPlease remember that tomorrow (March 22nd) is the day to bring your decorated boiled eggs to school for the competition. Entries should be with us by the end of the day so that they can be displayed in the school foyer. A few early entries are already on display so we look forward to seeing your ideas.

What Will You Do When You Are Grown-Up?

Before we started our World of Work week we talked to the children about the types of jobs they might like to do when they are grown-up. We have already shared some of the ideas from the Sunshine Room so here is a selection from the Rainbow Room.

Joshua M: I want to be a footballer. You need skills with the silver football.
Max A.: a fireman – you need to be good at putting the hose out.
Sian: a hairdresser. You have to be good at cutting.
Kacey: I want to run a shop. I need to be good at counting money.
Max L.: a policeman – you need to be good at running to chase people.
Ben W.: I want to be a farmer. You need to be good at milking, feeding the cows and driving the tractor.
James: I want to be a builder. You need to be good at making cement and be good at building.
Finlay: I want to be a train driver. You need to be good at blowing the whistle.
Thom: I want to be a footballer. I need to be good at kicking the ball.
Emma: I want to be a vet to take care of animals and make sure they stay in overnight if they are injured.
Orla: I want to be a police girl. You have to chase and arrest people if they’ve been bad.
Brogan: I want to fly an aeroplane.
Owen: I want to make sandwiches at Subway. I’ll have to count the money.
Keegan: I want to be a fireman putting out fires.
Peter: I want to be a policeman and take bad people away.
Olivia: I want to have a job in the kitchen making sandwiches.
Kobi: I want to be a policeman. I’d have to drive the cars.

I wonder what they will all be doing twenty years from now?

Field Sports

There has been great excitement about the new outdoor equipment on the school field in the last few weeks so some of the children have been trying it out in small groups. While out there, football was also popular with some and they enjoyed being able to score a goal in the goalposts. As you can see, the children showed great skills and confidence in tackling some of the challenging equipment.

Doctors and Nurses

Owen’s family likes the photo of him on our “dress as your favourite job” day:

“Great photo of Owen, he really loved being Dr McGregor for the day, a great task for them to do, he was really excited about it.”

He does really look the part. I think we will all be alright as we get older because lots of the children want to be doctors and nurses when they are grown up so we should be well look after.
