Tuesday is buddy day when Primary 6 visit Nursery children to play with them. Recently the second group of buddies visited to get to know our children and they did a great job. It’s lovely to see the older and younger children chatting together as they build relationships.

Eat Better Feel Better 2017
Early Years Scotland have advised us that Eat Better Feel Better’s latest healthy eating initiative has been launched.
This year’s campaign will focus on helping frustrated parents get greens on plates, and children across Scotland will be challenged to try a new vegetable every day for five days. Go to the website below for more information on the campaign.

Proud Mum
Neve’s Mum is proud of her recent certificate:
“Neve was delighted to win this award and I was one very proud mum”
Well done Neve for doing some super work. We are proud of you too.
More Burns Celebrations
As promised, we wanted to share some photos from our afternoon Burns celebration. As you can see, the children looked great wearing tartan and most were keen to sample the shortbread, oatcakes, cheese and Irn Bru. As in the morning, the children showed themselves to be confident performers and families and friends looked suitably proud of their performance. Well done boys and girls!
Congratulations
Congratulations to last week’s award winners who were delighted with their well earned certificates.
Great Day
It’s lovely to hear that the children have enjoyed their Burns day celebrations. Max’s Mum has left a comment on one of our photos:
“What a great photo. Max fair enjoyed his day”
We love that photo too. He looks so happy.
Blog Visitors
After setting up our blog in October 2010 to provide an opportunity for families to gain an insight into the life of Nursery, we added a counter to measure the number of visitors to our site. Unfortunately, after a few years, there were problems with this so in October 2015 we added a new counter to monitor visitor numbers and we are delighted to say that we have now had more than 16 000 visitors in that time. If you click on the small map, further down this page on the right, then click on ‘Locations’, you can see that we have had visitors from 30 countries which is amazing.
We really appreciate the comments on our posts as this, hopefully, helps to make it a fun, shared site for everyone. Thank you for your support in keeping our blog active. We hope that you find it helpful and informative.
Burns Concert
Ava’s Mum left us a lovely post about our Burns celebration:
“The burns concert was really good all the kids done a great job. Ava loved singing and her drink of irn bru.”
We’re glad that you enjoyed the singing. The children did do well to have learned those songs in a short space of time and to perform them to an audience.
Burns Celebration
Yesterday we celebrated Burns Day with shortbread, oatcakes and cheese and, of course, Irn Bru. We appreciate everyone making a super effort to provide the children with ‘a touch o’ tartan’ – we thought that they looked wonderful. Thank you also to all the family and friends who came to hear the children sing their Scottish songs. It’s important for them to learn to perform to an audience and you certainly helped to make it a memorable occasion. Here you can see some of the morning children enjoying their celebration. Afternoon photos will follow soon.
Enjoying Our Learning
Lily’s family has posted a comment about our Burns activities:
“Lily has really enjoyed practising the dancing and learning the songs. And she especially liked the Iron Bru!!”
Lily has loved participating in our activities this week and has been particularly enjoying dancing with her friends. We’re glad you enjoyed the special snack yesterday too Lily.
