Well done to two recent award winners who thoroughly deserved their certificates. Congratulations to both of you.

Balancing
As the term draws to a close, the morning children have been enjoying their last few lessons with Mrs. Foster, our P.E. teacher. They have had some fun learning experiences and have grown in confidence as the term has progressed.
Here is one group learning how to move in different ways along a bench, showing good balancing skills and body awareness as they move forwards and backwards using different parts of their bodies. Thank you Mrs. Foster for this term’s activities. The afternoon children are looking forward to spending time with you next term.
Police Station Photos
Olivia’s family enjoyed the photo of her and her friend in the police van:
“Quite right to have those two little rascals in a cage. Heehee”
Glad you enjoyed the photos. We promise it’s not a cage really.
Afternoon Visit
As promised, here are photos of the children enjoying an afternoon visit to the police station. Just as with the morning children, they behaved beautifully and made us very proud. Thank you so much to the parents and grandparents who came along with us, we hope that you enjoyed a visit out in the community with the children.
Super Writing
Eadie’s big brother has been looking at her work in one of our posts:
“Way to go sister. You must have tried really hard to do that writing x”
What a kind comment to leave for your sister, Eli. It’s lovely to hear from you and we hope that you are enjoying Primary 1.
Easter Egg Competition
We hope that lots of our children will take part in this week’s competition to hard boil and decorate an egg. Entries can be brought in to Nursery on Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th March to add to the whole school display. There will be prizes for the best egg in various groups and ours will be in the Nursery and Primary 1 section. Adults have their own section so the grown ups in your family can have a go too. Have fun decorating your eggs everyone – we look forward to seeing them soon.
Police Station Visit
This week’s visit to the police station was a great learning experience. We were shown round the cells, as well as the rooms in the police station used for interviews and fingerprinting, and we found out what happens when someone is brought in to the police station. Some of the children tried out the hard beds and, although they thought it was great fun to try them out, 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 had to cover their ears, the noise was so loud.
Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came with us on this visit – we appreciate your support. Thank you also to P.C. Leggett for answering some tricky questions and making us feel so welcome. These photos provide a taste of the morning children’s visit. We will post photos of the afternoon visit soon.
Literacy Posters
We hope that you have had time to look at our literacy posters which aim to give helpful, simple advice to support your child’s communication development. Thank you to those parents who helped us plan the format of the posters and to those who have kindly left us feedback on them in the form of post-it notes. We would appreciate any further comments to help us evaluate our work.
Please help yourself to a post-it note and add your comments – the posters are on display on the board near the Nursery entrance.
Congratulations
One of our older pupils has been visiting our blog and was pleased to see her cousin receiving a certificate:
“Congratulations Leah my wee cousin xx💖”
Thank you Iona for taking the time to visit our blog and for leaving us a message. No doubt you are very proud of your little cousin.
