Just like the afternoon children, those in the morning thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Tesco last week. They also worked well together in teams and carried out the various activities with enthusiasm. Thank you again to all those parents who accompanied us and to Tesco for such an informative visit and the very generous goodie bags that the children took home. We really appreciate it.
There were some very young staff working at Tesco on Thursday as Nursery children visited the store to learn about what happens in the shop and behind the scenes. They worked well in teams on their shopping tasks and had to think hard about finding different numbers of fruit and vegetables in various colours as well as the various cereal boxes on their shopping lists.
The walk-in fridge and freezer were a bit chilly for some but we soon warmed up when we donned our hats to watch pancakes being made in the bakery. This seemed to impress the children most of all as they gave a round of applause to Stuart and Leanne for being so clever at making pancakes. It was even better when they let us taste the freshly cooked pancakes in the canteen.
We would like to say huge thanks to all the staff at Tesco who were so patient and kind. The children thoroughly enjoyed their visit and we all appreciate the time you took to show them round the store. Thank you also to those tolerant staff who had their tea break disturbed in the canteen and to the parents who gave the time to make our visit possible. Here are the afternoon children busy in the store. Photos of the morning children will follow soon.
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.
This week’s visit to the police station was a great learning experience. We were shown round the cells 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 and most agreed that they would not like to sleep there.
The police van, of course, was very popular and most had a turn at sitting in the front and the back of the van. The blue light and siren caused great excitement although some of us 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 making us feel so welcome. These photos provide a taste of the morning children’s visit. We will try to post photos of the afternoon visit soon.
Callum’s family enjoyed the photos of the children dressed up for World Book Day:
“Callum absolutely loved coming to Nursey dressed up. He couldn’t wait. So nice to see all the children in their fancy costumes. Good photo of Callum and his friend.”

Several families have left comments about our visit to the library and dressing up on World Book Day. Olivia’s Mum liked the photo of Olivia and a friend looking at a super pop-up book brought in from home:
“This looks like a wonderful book! Both girls look very intrigued by it! We have heard lots of positive things about the visit to the library! 😍”
Tom’s family also liked the photos of the children in their different outfits:
“Tom loves coming to nursery to see his friends. He couldn’t wait to show them his Batman costume!”
Harvey M’s family is pleased that he enjoyed World Book Day:
“Nice to see Harvey enjoying one of his favourite books Spiderman! He loved being able to dress up in Nursery for World Book Day!”
Thank you all for taking the time to leave a comment. It’s good to hear that the children enjoyed taking part in our World Book Day activities.
As well as coming to Nursery dressed a story character on World Book Day, some of the children brought in their favourite book and we paid a visit to Annan library which helped us learn a little more about our local community. After enjoying stories read by the librarian, we returned to Nursery where we shared the stories brought in from home which rounded off a lovely day for everyone.
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.
