Autumn Flower

Two of our families have commented on how much they like the Rainbow Room’s “Autumn Flower” scarecrow. Ben’s Mum said:

“I think Autumn Flower is a fantastic scarecrow. I love your ideas, very creative. Looks like you had great fun making it.”

Dylan’s Mum thought Autumn Flower was super too:

“Wow! I think all the boys and girls have made a fantastic job of creating Autumn Flower, she looks amazing you can see how well they have worked together, and how much fun they all had in the process, well done everybody xxx”

It was great fun and so many children contributed to designing and making the scarecrow that it really is a super example of teamwork. Well done everyone!

Family Comments

Wareesha’s grandfather enjoyed the photos of everyone dressed up for Superhero Day:

“A colourful day. Beautiful dresses.”

Paulina’s family is also pleased with the photo of her with her certificate:

“Well done our big girl. We are so proud of you x”

It’s great to hear that our families are accessing the blog and we love to hear your comments.

Harvest

Rev. McGougan is looking forward to joining us for our Harvest celebration on Friday at 11.30 for the morning children and at 2.30 in the afternoon. This is an informal gathering in the Nursery and all family members are welcome. Please remember to return the slip to let us know how many adults will attend. Any donations of dried food stuffs can be donated on or before Friday and will be handed in to Annan Food Bank – thank you to those families who have already kindly donated to this worthy cause. As you can see, the children have been learning two new songs and are looking forward to performing them to their families. We look forward to seeing lots of you there.

Congratulations

Well done to last week’s award winners. Here they are with their certificates.

Super Girl Kacey

Kacey’s Mum’s been looking at the photos from Superhero Day last week:

“What a great picture!! Kacey wanted to wear a pink costume so we made her SUPER GIRL!!!”

She certainly looked super! We loved you dressed as Super Girl, Kacey.

Superheroes

Nursery turned into a world of superheroes on Friday as the children dressed up in various outfits to support Primary 2’s Superhero Day in aid of the charity Shelter. Thank you to all those parents who took the time to help their children dress up and for your kind donations. Nursery raised £24.02 to add to Primary 2’s collection which will be much appreciated.

Autumn Flower

Autumn Flower is the name of the scarecrow created by the children in the Rainbow Room and they have chosen well, considering the ideas they used to make her. As we have been learning about Autumn, they decided to make a scarecrow that looked like Autumn.
There were problems to be solved, such as how to stick the poles together to make a body, how to get the shape for the scarecrow’s clothes and what to use for a head. There was great fun drawing round Mrs. Gray, decorating the dress with handprints and making the face which changed, from the original plan of a ball of bubble wrap covered in material, to an upside down bucket which we liked. It was great to see so many children contributing their ideas and skills to make their scarecrow. We hope that everyone likes Autumn Flower.

Well Done Luca

Luca’s aunt and cousin want to congratulate him on getting a certificate:

“Well done, what a clever boy :-)”

You certainly deserved that certificate so well done Luca.

Callum’s Sunflower

Callum paid a visit to Nursery today from Primary 1 to show us photos of the sunflower he had grown from the seed he planted in Nursery last term. As you can see, he has looked after his sunflower very well and has shown great gardening skills to grow his plant to an enormous seven feet two inches which we reckon converts to 2.18 metres.
Well done Callum for showing super growing skills and thank you very much for bringing your photos to show us. I wonder if anyone else has photos of their sunflowers grown from the seed planted in Nursery?
