You certainly look very happy in that photo Georgia. Well done!
Happy Birthday Celebrations
The sun shone brightly for our celebration of the Queen’s 90th birthday on Friday. Some of the children had a good attempt at making their own Union Jack flags and crowns while others made birthday cards for the Queen and we had a lovely little garden party by way of celebration. So many of the children added to the occasion by wearing red, white and blue so thank you to everyone for helping out with this. We hope that these photos give you a sense of the occasion.

Where Have Our Butterflies Gone?
As we waved our butterflies off to the wider world, we talked about where they might go. Here are some of the ideas from the children in the Rainbow Room.
Summer: Edinburgh.
Leah P: to a garden.
George: to Australia.
Isaac: by the river.
Dylan: to the zoo to see other animals.
Joshua M: they’re going to Gretna and will fly every day.
Ben W.: to the meadows.
Grace: to Gran Canaria to get warm.
James: to another flower to get some nectar.
Sian: they will fly everywhere.
Rahat: to Africa.
Daisy: fly away outside.
Orla: to Ibiza.
Emma: to London.
Owen: to his Granny’s house.
Chloe: to Blackpool.
Noah: over the swimming pool.
Brogan: up in the sky to his house.
Paulina: to her home.
Please let us know if you think you see them anywhere boys and girls.
Congratulations
Special Celebration
We would like to remind everyone that we will be having a special snack tomorrow, ideally outdoors if the weather holds, to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday. If possible, we suggest that the children wear something red, white or blue to join in the spirit of the occasion.
Butterfly News
Thom’s family had an interesting update on the butterflies that we released:
“Thom was very excited to see the butterfly still sitting on the flower when we returned to pick up Sophie at 3pm!”
That is surprising. Just as well we decided to go back in to Nursery after a while or we could have had a long wait. Perhaps they were just very happy where we left them?
Bye Bye Butterflies
After following the progress of our caterpillars which grew and formed their cocoons, we finally saw our beautiful butterflies emerging in their nets last week. After feeding them on sugary water and slices of oranges, it seemed that they were ready to fly off and on Thursday we found a quiet spot to release them near the nature area at the front of the school. Although they did not seem keen to leave us, Miss Kerr gave them a helping hand to settle on the flowers which gave everyone a chance to have a close look at our little butterflies before we waved them goodbye.

Interesting Visitors
We had some exciting visitors to the Nursery garden at the end of last week. As you can see, the children were intrigued by their visit so decided to get a front seat view of their work. There were some interesting conversations about what the workmen were building and how they were doing it, for example, one child was heard telling others that “cement makes things stick”. No doubt you too have noticed the large wooden pillars concreted into the ground around the mud area – the children are waiting to see what happens next.
Rainbow Room Story Time
As promised, here are photos of the children from the Rainbow Room enjoying taking part in our “Share a Story Month” activity. They too had fun searching for all the objects that Granny bought in the story “Granny Went To Market” and enjoyed the bells and drums as much as the children in the Sunshine Room did. Thank you to Eileen, our Family Learning Co-ordinator, for organising this lovely activity and to those parents who were able to join us.
