Callum’s family has been looking at the photos from our RHET visit last week.
“WOW what a great day it was. Callum came home buzzing. He absolutely loved having the Massey Ferguson at Nursery. Farmer for the future, I think so😉.”
“Aw love this photo of Callum with the lamb. He is very good with animals. I can’t believe the size of the lamb he said, it’s just a a baby
”
It was a great day. We’re glad to hear that Callum enjoyed it so much.
As promised, here is snapshot gallery of the afternoon children enjoying the activities organised last week for us by RHET. As you can see from the happy faces, they enjoyed the visit by the tractor from Carr’s and our cute little lamb visitor just as much as the morning children. Thank you again to Fiona, Mrs. Ker and Carr’s for providing a great learning experience for the children. I wonder if we have any farmers of the future here?

Primary 6 are launching their cross-generational digital club on Wednesday at 9.30 – 10.30 in the school’s ICT suite. Parents and grandparents who need help with technology can pop in for a cup of tea and a cake while they get some top advice on using a computer from the trained helpers of Primary 6. The children are really excited about this and want to make it a success so why not pop along on Wednesday for an hour of fun learning?
On Thursday of this week we had a fantastic visit from RHET (The Royal Highland Education Trust) who provided the opportunity for the children to see a tractor and a lamb close up. Although a few children were initially a little shy of our visiting lamb, by the end of the visit most were stroking and brushing him. Thank you to Mrs. Ker for giving up her time to help the children learn so much about looking after a lamb. This was an experience they will all remember.
Thanks also go to local company Carr’s for providing a shiny new tractor for the children to explore and learn about. As you can see from the happy smiles, they all loved sitting up in the cab and finding out about the different switches and how the tractor is used. They compared the wheels to themselves in size, counted the bolts and made rubbings of the numbers and letters on the tyres. It really was amazing to them all how huge the tractor was close up.
Finally we would like to thank Fiona Jamieson, the project co-ordinator, who was so helpful in arranging this visit, ensuring all Health and Safety rules were followed and that the children had a great learning experience.
Here are photos of the some of the morning children. Afternoon photos will follow soon.
We hope that everyone has enjoyed their holidays with their families. You will no doubt have lots of tales to tell us when you return.
Nursery starts back tomorrow (Tuesday). Starting times are as normal – a soft start between 8.45 and 9.10 for the morning children and 12.15 in the afternoon. Details of upcoming events this term can be found on the “Dates for your Diary” link on the right under “Support Information”. As always, this will be updated as soon as any further dates are finalised.
We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
As the children started to think about Easter at the end of last term, some experimented in the craft area to design their own eggs and create Spring flowers. We thought we would share a few examples with you this Easter weekend. Click then click again on the photos to see the names of the artists.
Towards the end of term we were learning a little about the artist, L. S. Lowry. We compared the scenes in his paintings to Annan and talked about his life. Charcoal and chalk were used to produce our own art work in the style of Lowry and we have put some on display in the school corridor. Can anyone spot their picture here?
